Macros 101: Calories vs. Macros - Which Should You Count?

Posted: December 1st, 2017 Author: Vanessa Cohn

Changing your body composition is tricky business. Everyone's body is unique and it takes a great deal of knowledge and a fair bit of experimentation to find out what's going to get you to your goals.

Along the way, many people find themselves hitting this brick wall: do I count macros or calories?

The answer may be simpler than you think (jump to it).

Here's the run down on calories, macros, and which one deserves your utmost attention while you're working your way to that dream bod.

Calories

People talk about "calories this" and "calories that" all the time – but what is a calorie?

A calorie is simply a unit of measurement for energy. Just like we in the United States use inches to measure lines on paper, miles to measure roads, and pounds to measure weight, calories are a way of measuring energy.

When you eat anything, it contains calories. From that super scrumptuous steak to that light bite of celery and ranch dressing, everything contains calories.

Eating a calorie means you're giving your body one unit of energy to put to use somewhere in your body.

Depending on your age, height, weight, activity level, and overall health, your body needs a certain number of calories to carry out its day to day processes. The bare minimum number of calories that your body needs to function each day is called your basal metabolic rate (BMR).

This means that even if you spent the entire day enjoying a Netflix binge sesh sitting on the couch and not lifting so much as a finger to text your friends about how awesome Season 2 of Stranger Things is, you'll still burn calories – and that number will be your BMR.

Calculating your BMR based on your height, weight, gender, and age will tell you the minimum number of calories your body uses for energy each day.

However, most of us do more than sit in front of the big glowing box in our living rooms all day long. In that case, we'll need to know our total daily energy expenditure (TDEE).

To figure out your TDEE, we recommend using the Harris Benedict Formula – a simple but widely accepted formula dating back to 1919. According to the Harris Benedict Formula, a person who lives a sedentary lifestyle (like working a desk job and doing little to no daily exercise) should multiply their BMR by 1.2 to get the TDEE.

Other activity levels should adjust their BMR as follows:

activity level graphic for BMR calculations

With your TDEE, you now have an estimate of how many calories your body burns each day. Of course, this number varies from person to person and depends on a number of factors like overall health, heart rate, blood pressure, and body composition (amount of fat versus lean muscle mass).

Depending on your activity level and fitness goals, you'll either add calories to or subtract calories from your TDEE to figure out exactly how many calories you should be eating each day.

Calories In, Calories Out

While fad diets come and go, the one thing everyone eventually comes back to is the idea that if you want to lose weight you need to eat fewer calories than you're burning. This is why a healthy diet and plenty of exercise continues to be the prescribed plan for safe, sustainable weight loss.

But the truth is: It's not that simple.

Yes, if your goal is to lose weight, you do need to burn more calories than you're eating (or drinking). And yes, if your goal is to build muscle or gain weight, you need to eat more calories than you're burning.

However, those calories can't just come from anywhere. You're not going to get the same results eating an all-pizza diet while counting calories as you are if you eat a well-balanced diet and pay attention to your macros.

Macros

Like we mentioned in last month's post, there's a lot to understanding macros. The main thing to know, though, is that there are three different macronutrients – carbs, protein, and fat – and your body uses each one differently.

Carbs

Carbs are the body's preferred source of energy. When you eat carbs – think: veggies, fruits, starches, whole grains, sugar – your body breaks them down into glucose. Glucose is just a fancy name for blood sugar and is the driving force between a number of processes in your body.

For every gram of carbs you eat, you'll get 4 calories. Because your body loves to use carbs for energy, excess carbs are stored as body fat in case your body needs more energy later.

Of course, we usually disagree with our bodies on this matter and prefer that carbs aren't stored as body fat, so it's important to eat just the right amount of carbs that your body can burn without storing the excess.

Protein

Your entire body is made up of crucial proteins called amino acids. When you eat protein, your body breaks it down into a variety of amino acids that can be used for anything from repairing muscle tissue to transcribing DNA to creating digestive enzymes.

Like carbs, for every gram of protein you eat, you'll get 4 calories. The body can't store protein for later use like it can carbs, but it can break protein down into different substances thatcan be stored. For example, a process called gluconeogenesis can transform protein into glucose for energy if necessary. However, your body will only resort to this process if needed.

The important thing to know about protein is that it is theonly essential macro nutrient. While your body can potentially use carbs, protein, or fat for energy, your bodyabsolutely needs protein specifically to form amino acids and all the cells in your body.

This is why it's absolutely crucial that you make sure you're getting enough protein in your diet above all else.

Fat

Now don't be afraid! Fat is not a bad guy. Eating fat will not make you fat. Rather, when you eat fat, your body puts it to work in a number of ways.

First, fat can be used as energy if you're lacking in carbs. Second, fats are used to form cholesterol (which is a good thing! More on that later.) and fatty acids. These substances serve as helpers throughout your body by ensuring proteins do their job, insulating your organs, and acting as messengers via hormones and neurotransmitters.

For every gram of fat you eat, you'll get 9 calories – making fat the most calorie-dense macro. Eating healthy fats like avocado, extra virgin olive oil, and some animal products can also help you feel fuller longer, so adding just the right amount of fats to your diet can keep you on track and get you closer to your goals.

Reigning Champ

All three macros are made up of calories. But your body puts those different types of calories to use in different ways.

And the fact is, your body needs precise amounts of each type of macronutrient in order to fuel your workouts, repair muscle damage, grow stronger, and shed fat.

While you could get all your calories for the day from carbs (Froyo, anyone?), we don't recommend it. Rather, you need a healthy balance of carbs, protein, and fat to make sure your body is fully equipped to transform the way you want it to.

Instead of focusing on how many calories you're eating in total, it's best to look at the content of what you're eating and ensure your body is getting the tools it needs to build a better you. If your goal is to have a poppin' six pack and sculpted shoulders, then counting macros is the only way to prevent muscle loss and guarantee that the weight you're shedding is unwanted fat.

Bottom Line: Counting calories can not only help you lose weight but also build muscle, have more energy, and get lean.

If you need help figuring out just how many grams of carbs, protein, and fat will get you to your goals, the Macrostax app can help.

1986 Buick Grand National Turbo Specs

1986 Buick Grand National Turbo Specs

In the 1980s, the Buick Regal Grand National captured muscle car enthusiasts' attention with a quarter-mile time that beat a Camaro, multiple NASCAR wins, and an affordable purchase price. Yet, despite all the buzz the Grand National created, the often-forgotten turbo-T model was even lighter and faster. It was built during the last hurrah for Buick muscle cars, and taking a ride in 2018 proves these cars are just as good as fans remember.

Heading north out of Torrington, Wyoming, Pat Lenhart, a former rancher and Vietnam vet, finds an open stretch of road and puts his foot to the floor of his 1987 Buick Regal turbo-T. The 245-hp, 3.8-liter turbocharged V-6, known as the "little V-6," pauses momentarily allowing the turbo to charge and then unleashes a torrent of power. Screaming along, the speedometer needle rattles against the edge of the horizontal cluster desperately trying to show the true speed. It reads just over 85 mph, but it is lying. The blurring, rapidly disappearing country landscape reveals the truth. With a big grin on his face, he slows down the car and it proceeds to ride like grandma's big Buick from years ago. For a 1987 model, the speed, ride comfort and quietness of the cabin is simply remarkable.

"It rides like a Buick, is really responsive with the little 3.8-liter, good on gas mileage and will blow the doors of most cars," Lenhart said. "They were way ahead of themselves and were called the 'Vette getters' because they would beat the Corvettes. The Corvette owners were quite upset back then, since they paid twice the money for their car compared to the Buicks."

Being such a powerful car that was cheaper than a Corvette, the Buick Grand National seemed a big winner for the brand. But however incredible it might seem to car fans today, Buick was more than a little reluctant to build it in the first place.

Buick flexes its Regal racing muscle

It all started when Buick redid the Regal in 1981, resulting in much better aerodynamics. NASCAR racers caught on quickly and Richard Petty drove a 1981 Buick Regal to victory at the 1981 Daytona 500. The car became so popular it would win a majority of the races in 1981 and 1982 as well as manufacturer's titles in those same years. This was a major boost to Buick sales; proving the win on Sunday, sell on Monday maxim.

Riding that mantra, the Grand National was born, borrowing from the official name of the series – NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National Series.

At the time Buick only intended to build 100 units, but an aftermarket company named Cars and Concepts of Brighton, Michigan, retrofitted 215 Regal models with the Grand National package. They helped build the boom around the car, and it didn't hurt that the 1984 Buick Regal Grand National sported a standard turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 that could go toe to toe with the V-8 engines of the time. Once performance enthusiasts figured out the Regal was nearly two seconds faster than the Chevy Camaro, the Grand National cemented its place in automotive history.

The turbo-T finds a niche

Then, in 1987, the lightweight WE4 (turbo-T) option arrived. The turbo-T slotted between the Grand National and the famous GNX (Grand National Experimental) in the Regal lineup. The differences between the cars amount to interior styling, wheels, exterior badging, aluminum bumper supports, and aluminum rear drum brakes. But swapping in the aluminum for the heavier cast iron made the WE4 turbo-T lighter and faster.

It had no electric windows or seats, just power locks and—surprisingly—air conditioning.

Buick produced 1547 turbo-T models, 20,193 Grand Nationals and 547 GNXs, and the turbo-T is the lightest one of the bunch. The limited-production car was faster in the both 0-60 sprint and quarter-mile than the Grand National, but still behind the mighty GNX.

Like its performance on the drag strip, the turbo-T was gone from showrooms sooner than you'd think. In 1988, Buick changed the Regal to a new body style, opted for a front-wheel drive configuration, and killed the performance models. The Grand National was no more.

A man finds the Buick Regal of his dreams

Lenhart is a big muscle car fan, but the car's rarity meant he didn't know about it. And around Wyoming, most everything you see out on the road is a pickup.

"I just missed these or I would have got one at the time," Lenhart said with a chuckle. "They were affordable back then as a $17,000 car."

He finally discovered it sitting on the street in March, 2011 and, already the owner of three Buick Regals, immediately spotted the small T badges on the front fenders. Those badges, along with the one on the steering wheel, are the only indication the Buick Regal is a turbo-T model.

"I went home, told my wife about it and showed her the facts and figures book on Buick Regals," Lenhart said. "She said you better go get it before somebody else does."

Shortly after the sale on March 16, 2011, Lenhart had to see how powerful the car really was.

"I took it up to Douglas, WY (home of a now closed drag strip) to see what it would do," Lenhart said. "It did the same time and MPH as a 1967 427 (engine) Chevy Corvette at sea level. I did it at 4860 feet. I'm pretty good with it.

Plus, I get 25 miles per gallon, maybe 26 or 27 if you keep your foot out of it."

The "air-conditioned hot rod," as Lenhart calls it, weighs about 3300 pounds. That's slightly heavier than his 1978 Regal, but he says the '78 just doesn't perform like the turbo-T.

Lenhart attributes the fuel economy to a 200R4 automatic transmission with overdrive and the aerodynamic body style. Combined with traction control, the car is quite the performer for both efficiency and power.

"It takes off with the traction control, but once the turbo kicks in at second gear, it is a different story," Lenhart said with a smile. "It doesn't just chirp the tires, it breaks them loose!"

Hayabusa 2008

Hayabusa 2008


Editor's Note: Suzuki recently invited a bunch of journalists to Chicago to sample its new Hayabusa at a dragstrip and out on the Road America racetrack. Our invitation must've been lost in the mail or something. We're not happy about it, as you might expect, but we'll be sending over Team S some fresh-baked cookies in the hopes of appeasing them. Anyway, we believe our dear Motorcycle.com readers deserve to be kept up to date on the latest bikes, so we worked off Suzuki's press kit for the important news and asked one of our good buddy journalists, Neale Bayly, to let us know what it was like to ride in the new Busa's saddle. That's the best we can do for now, but Suzuki has promised a test bike at some point in the future. Stay tuned!

__________________________________

Suzuki's Hayabusa enhances its legend status with its 2008 revamp that includes an extra 20 horsepower!

When Suzuki's Hayabusa debuted in 1999, it inspired controversy for two aspects that would go on to become iconic: its controversial aerodynamic styling and its ability to open a giant can of whup-ass on anything else on the showroom floor.

After word got out about its 9-second abilities down the quarter-mile and its 190-plus-mph top speed, its "Eye-Abuse-Er" nickname became less prevalent. Soon the Busa was seen by some groups as the hottest thing on the street, and the mighty falcon became one of the primary canvases on which to polish frames and bolt on big-tire kits to up the bike's badass-ness.

Now nine years on (and with a manufacturers' agreement to limit top speeds to a laughably sedate 186 mph), the Busa was hit on the chin in 2006 by the Kawasaki ZX-14. The Kawi proved to be quicker and more powerful but also smoother and more comfortable. Regardless, the Busa remained as popular as ever and was unmatched for its street cred. Fearing a "New Coke"-type backlash, Suzuki engineers didn't want to stray too far from the original Busa concept in this new redesign you see here. It's still unmistakably a Hayabusa even if every fairing panel has been remolded. And it's not much different underneath, either.

While it's the new skin that first grabs your attention, it's the unholy monster motor underneath that has earned the Hayabusa its veneration. Potent and durable, it has been the inspiration for a closer relationship with god among those who have twisted its throttle to the stop. For '08, this legendary lump has received a 2mm longer stroke to yield 1340cc instead of the old bike's 1299cc. New forged pistons are lighter and stronger and produce a 1.5-point increase in compression ratio to 12.5:1. Also forged is the crank, as it attaches to new chro-moly rods that are now shot-peened for added strength. Cam chain adjustment is now accomplished hydraulically, which also helps reduce mechanical noise.

Up top are 16 new titanium valves that save 14.1 grams on each intake and 11.7 grams on each exhaust for a significant weight loss in this critical area, allowing the replacement of double valve springs with lighter single springs. Valve sizes remain the same, but a new camshaft now forces greater lift on both the intake and exhaust poppets and has revised timing. It's all fed by a pair of double-barreled 44mm throttle bodies. They use a version of Suzuki's Dual Throttle Valve system that has a secondary throttle valve mounted above the primary that's controlled by the bike's electronic brain to maintain the ideal velocity of the intake charge based on rpm, throttle opening and gear position.

Controlled by a new high-powered Engine Control Unit, Suzuki says that the Busa has the company's "most powerful, most advanced digital fuel-injection and engine management system." Another important task of the ECU is controlling the different parameters of Suzuki's Drive Mode System. Like the GSX-R1000 and '08 Gixxer 600/750, the Busa has a handlebar-mounted switch to set the power mode into three available positions. It produces full power in mode A, the default setting, while mode B has a bit of the power edge clipped off. Mode C might be an asset in the rain, but it neuters all the excitement out of the muscular motor.

'Suzuki claims the new bike cranks out 194 horsepower at the crankshaft'

How muscular, you might ask? Suzuki claims the new bike cranks out 194 horsepower at the crankshaft, a 21-horse (12.1%) improvement. Torque is boosted 8.5% to 114 ft-lbs. The old 1299cc engine produced about 160 ponies at the rear wheel, so we expect this new one to spit out around 175 horsepower on a rear-wheel dyno.

"The new 2008 Haybusa is just so freakin' fast it is unreal," relates Neale Bayly from his experience at the press launch. "Accelerating off the corners with a quiet whoosh from the twin pipes like it had been shot out of a Howitzer, it feels like some sort of macabre video game flicking through some of Road America's tighter sections. It starts making lots of power early, and by the time the needle is past five grand all hell is letting loose. It pulls without a break until the rev limiter kicks in with a bang somewhere around 11 grand."

Bayly also told us that the response from the high-tech fuel-injection system is flawless, aided by injectors with fine-atomizing 12-hole squirters instead of the previous four. "Giving superb throttle response from very low in the rev range all the way till the rev limiter kicked in, the system was faultless. One area that can cause problems with fuel-injection systems is at lower rpm on small throttle openings, but this was not the case with the big Suzuki."

At the dragstrip, journalists struggled to break the 10-second barrier, but Jordan Motorsports Racer Aaron Yates was able to just nip into the 9-second bracket. We expect an epic duel between this uprated Busa and the more powerful 2008 ZX-14 for the honor of quarter-mile champ. Out on Road America, the new Busa handles a lot like the old Busa with extra power. This shouldn't be much of a surprise considering that the bike's twin-spar aluminum frame is nearly identical to previous, so we've got the same 23.4-degree rake and short 3.7 inches (93mm) of trail. A revised swingarm shortens the wheelbase a scant 5mm to 58.3 inches and features an additional strengthening rib for less flex.

"Don't expect to go diving up the inside of any supersport bikes at a track day," says Bayly, "but do perfect your passing wave as you cream them coming off the turns. Not that any of this should be surprising when you consider the bike weighs in around 500 pounds full of fuel, it is just a good idea to remind yourself of these facts before all that horsepower lets you get carried away."

The old Busa's most glaring shortcoming was the performance from its old-tech six-piston front brakes that were barely up to the task of slowing this earth-bound missile. We're happy to report that Suzuki has now fitted up-to-date radial-mounted four-piston calipers to the magic Bus. They bite on 10mm-smaller 310mm discs that have a half-mil extra thickness (5.5mm) to handle the heat. Bayly tells us they are a major improvement.

Also aiding heavy braking is the new slipper clutch that Bayly says it quite effective. The clutch also has the Suzuki Clutch Assist System that increases the amount of force on the clutch plates without using stiffer clutch springs. The clutch also features a new friction material for better feedback at the engagement point. In addition, the width of a few transmission gearsets were revised and the upper three gears are sprayed with oil for reduced wear and quieter operation.

As for the Hayabusa's new clothes, we'll leave the aesthetic judgments to you. Aerodynamic efficiency, something the old Busa had over the more powerful ZX-14, is optimized with a wider fairing and a 15mm-taller windscreen to better shelter its rider. The body panel joints are now smoother and have no exposed fasteners, and the top of the fuel tank is lower to allow a tighter full tuck. The tailsection has an enlarged speed hump that will stir some commotion on the message boards, and it also sports integrated turnsignals that are said to "evoke a jet engine motif." Front turn indicators are nestled into the edges of the air intakes in the nose.

'The clutch also has the Suzuki Clutch Assist System that increases the amount of force on the clutch plates without using stiffer clutch springs.'

Also sure to be controversial is the Busa's new exhaust system. The triangular muffler canisters on the 4-into 2-into-1-into-2 arrangement look ungainly but are a product of more stringent emissions standards. A catalytic converter is placed where the four head pipes meet under the engine.

"Listening to the sound of Aaron Yates and the new Suzuki Hayabusa going past a few feet from pit wall at close to 190 mph, I just couldn't believe how quiet the bike was," Bayly relates. "Almost knocking me off the wall, the sound of the windblast was actually louder than the exhaust."

In the unrestricted environment of a racetrack, the burlier Busa doesn't fail to thrill, allowing full use of its mega power. "With walls and fences everywhere, and the big fairing allowing me to get right under the airflow, the view across the clocks was surreal," says Bayly. "The closeness of the walls greatly exaggerated the already intense speed, and every time you crank the throttle the track just seems to come at you in fast forward. The power is seamless and oh so abundant."

So, depending on how you think about streetbikes, perhaps Suzuki's claim of the new Hayabusa as "the ultimate sportbike for the road" has some merit. For some, it's just too heavy and too powerful, but for others, this invigorated Busa is exactly what they're looking for. We'll give Bayly the last word.

"As the first significant overhaul to the all-conquering Japanese bird since 1999, the new 2008 Haybusa is everything the old one was and more. Faster, better handling, and with stronger brakes, the performance element is not going to disappoint. Looking sharper and more modern, without losing its distinct appearance, Busa lovers are not going to be unhappy either.

"And for the rebel without a clue, who thinks their V-Twin's 67 horsepower and a set of loud pipes makes them a Bad Ass, well they are still going to hate the big, ugly lump of plastic as it goes by them at close to the speed of sound."

Tesla Cybercar

We wouldn't want to be Elon Musk right now.

Despite what the name suggests, Tesla's Full Self-Driving Capability is not a fully self-driving system. We're still a very long way away from fully autonomous driving tech becoming a reality. Fully autonomous driving systems are classed as Level 5, but Tesla's Full Self-Driving is still only Level 2, requiring drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and always be attentive. There are plenty of videos of near misses online that demonstrate why Tesla's Full Self-Driving is only in beta because the system is far from foolproof.

Unfortunately, many people still misunderstand the Autopilot system's capabilities, resulting in a spate of crashes. Last month, this prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to launch a formal investigation into Tesla's Autopilot.

In an 11-page letter sent to Tesla, the NHTSA is demanding Tesla supply comprehensive information about how its Autopilot system responds to emergency vehicles by October 22nd. As part of the investigation, the NHTSA wants to know how a Tesla detects a crash scene with emergency responders from factors such as flashing lights, road flares, reflective vests worn by responders, and parked vehicles. The government agency also wants to know how low light conditions affect Autopilot and how the semi-autonomous driving system warns drivers to prevent an accident.

Tesla is under serious pressure because the data request isn't limited to models involved in the accidents under investigation: the NHTSA is requesting data for 765,000 Tesla cars built between 2014 and 2021.

We wouldn't want to be Elon Musk right now. Originally, the NHTSA was investigating 11 accidents involving Teslas crashing into other cars at a scene with emergency responders. Combined, these accidents caused 17 injuries and one death. Now, a 12th accident has been added to the investigation involving a Tesla Model 3 that crashed into a police car in Orlando, Florida late last month.

After nearly hitting a police officer, the driver told police she was using Autopilot. The investigation will determine if Tesla's Autopilot system caused or contributed to the 12 crashes being assessed. Tesla previously pledged its full cooperation with the feds' investigation and soon it'll have to provide some answers.

FAQ: Where are all these precise accelerations data coming from ?

specs interline

The times show how fast a car accelerates on high gears, without gear reduction. The lower the times, the drive is more relaxing and driver less often needs to change gears during overtaking or hill climbing. Practical tip: if the 60-100 km/h on 4th is higher than 11 sec and 80-120 km/h on 5th higher than 15 sec (or higher than 19 sec on 6th), the car will be felt as rather slowly reacting and will require downshifting very often in road conditions.
In case of automatic transmission the values are shown for the manual mode, if such is available in the car.
