    <title>Food &amp; Fitness Unanswered</title>
    <description>Come hang out with Macros Inc coaches Connor Rhodes and Catharine Adams on Food and Fitness Unanswered! 

We’re talking food, fat loss and training, and figuring out what all that advice actually looks like when you’ve got a busy life. And yes, we get into perimenopause and menopause too.

We bring your questions into the conversation, share our coaching experiences and talk through why we might approach things differently. There’s plenty of laughter, the occasional tangent, and sometimes we get so caught up chatting that we forget which question we started with. :)

Our hope is that you leave with something useful to try or a better understanding of what might work for you, without feeling judged for what you eat or where you’re starting.

We’d love for you to join in! Bring your questions to the Macros Inc Facebook community, let us know what you’d like us to talk about, or just listen along. You’re welcome here.💜</description>

      <title>How Much Protein Do You Actually Need?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Connor brings the questions and Catharine finds out what they are right along with you. Apparently, we’re doing surprise Q&A now!

Come hang out with Macros Inc coaches Connor and Catharine Adams as we talk about protein, how much might make sense for you and how we’d approach increasing it from where you’re starting. From there, we get into feeling hungry even when you think you’re eating enough, building more satisfying meals and what we’d look at when weight loss seems to have stopped.

We also chat about maintenance, breakfast and eating late at night, with a few food-swap opinions along the way. Catharine is quite happy to make room for chocolate. :)

      <title>Can You Lose Fat While Training for Endurance?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[We actually answer your questions this time! After a little catch-up about Catharine’s canoe trip, of course. Connor has some questions about Canadian holidays. :)

Join Macros Inc coaches Connor and Catharine Adams as we talk through combining fat loss with endurance training, and how the conversation changes when you’re working towards a race or a performance goal. We also discuss building muscle while losing fat, and the feeling that there isn’t enough time, food or support to make progress.

And someone asks if we eat perfectly all the time, which gives us plenty to talk about! We finish with calories versus macros and how tracking can be used as a learning tool.

      <title>Menopause, Cortisol and All Those Exercise Rules</title>
      <description><![CDATA[You look online for help with menopause and suddenly there’s another food to avoid or a workout you’re apparently not supposed to do. Gosh, it can get confusing!

In this episode, Macros Inc coaches Connor and Catharine Adams talk through questions about fibre, cortisol and exercise during the menopause transition. We discuss tracking fibre, building up gradually and why your starting point matters when you’re deciding how much training feels manageable.

We also get into questions about metabolism and body changes, including losing fat and building muscle through this stage of life. And yes, Catharine has a few thoughts about anyone trying to take away her latte. :)

Then we get into the advice telling women to avoid certain kinds of exercise through menopause, and why we’d want to know more about the person before suggesting a change.
