Protein, fats, and carbs - we can't live without them, and yet there's a lot of confusion and fear around some of these macronutrients. Today we dive into: What does protein do and how much protein do you need? What different kinds of protein are there? What about plant based or vegan protein? What are simple carbs vs complex carbs? What kinds of fiber are there and how much do we need? Why are carbs so important for women? And finally, fats - what varieties of fat should we be looking for, and are there any we should be avoiding? We also discuss the misunderstanding about "fat burning", and what it actually means. We couldn't talk about fiber without talking about digestion and poop - here's the Bristol Stool Chart we mention on the podcast: https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/poop-chart-bristol-stool-scale
