You love. These are some of the benefits that come from building muscle, and they’re pretty great.Here’s what you need to know about protein shakes, when you’re trying to build muscle. At the very least, you should be having one protein shake like this post workout meal. It is not uncommon to have three protein shakes a day. One shake after workout, plus 1-2 meal replacement shakes to meet those protein macros. This is because you might be supplementing a low protein meal or replacing a meal with a shake, and this happens more frequently when you’re in the beginning stages of learning how to build protein heavy meals with whole foods.Tracking Macros Instead of CaloriesI’ll give you a quick run through about tracking macros instead of calories, but all of the details are in the post, Tracking Macros for Weight Loss after 40. Macros are also known as macronutrients, and basically, macros are the details of calories (macros are divided into carbohydrates, proteins, and fats). So, when someone says that they’re tracking their macros, they just mean that they’re tracking the carbs, proteins, and fats that they’re consuming. Studies show that tracking macros is a better calculation and healthier option than tracking calories. We’ve been over the convenient way to determine what your protein macro goal should be, but there are many apps and calculators, that help you get specific, accurate goals for all your macros. After working with a few different trackers, this one that I use along with an 8 Week Transphormation Challenge is by far the most comprehensive. (And when you sign up for premium using this link, I will be your coach for free!)The bottom line is, that counting calories is not as beneficial for weight loss, as counting macros is. Sure, consuming fewer calories

Add extra functions Templates Yes Yes Yes N/A Customization Options The ability to customize the app interface is important to some users. If you’re one of those people, then Excel is probably the way to go. Excel allows you to add function buttons to a quick-access toolbar and to create new tabs on the ribbon to group related functions. Excel also allows you to customize more default settings (like the theme and the default number of tabs on a new spreadsheet), and feedback with animation (e.g., pop-up windows appear to grow rather). Sheets has only a couple of options, including whether to make documents available for editing offline and whether recently used templates appear when creating a new document. Excel Online has no customization options. Macros and Scripting Macros are recorded scripts that allow you to repeat a series of steps, such as importing a .csv document, changing the font of the column headers, adding sums at the bottom of each column, then saving the document to a shared drive. Many users create macros by recording the steps they want to reuse. Macros are stored in a scripting language that advanced users can edit; they can also create original macros in the language.Excel has included macros since it first launched in 1987, using the scripting language Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). You cannot create macros in Excel Online.Google Sheets launched macros in 2018, using a language called Google Apps Script (which is based on JavaScript).Excel Online can open Excel documents that contain macros, but you can’t use, edit, or delete the macros.Because Excel and Sheets use different languages, macros created in one app won’t work in the other.Due to its long history with macros, as well as its extensive support documentation and expertise, Excel is the better option if you
