Student Question - too much macronutrients?

A student asked: How much macronutrients is too much?


Answer: First off, let me say that if you are eating whole, fresh, natural foods, your chances of overeating macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats) goes way down. If you eat too many of any kind, you can put unwanted stress on the body and create problems with metabolism. Too much is when you overeat to the point you feel stuffed. Too much would also be if you eat when you are not even hungry. Hope that answers your question!

  1. How much is to much for these items:carrots, blueberries, srawberries, mullberries, radishes.

  2. Those are all great foods. Too much would be if you are eating until you are painfully full. You can eat a pretty large amount of vegetables and berries without overdoing it though.
