Hi redditors, Like the title says, im wondering how bodybuilders switch foods/meals without changing their macros. I tried looking it up on google, but there seems to be no information about it.
Is there any single food that has every micro, macro, vitamin & mineral our bodies need? Or even remotely close to covering them all:
Like, isn't macronutrients the only thing responsible for energy intake? So... How can a label show 50 calories for a serving worth 10g of carbs? Wouldn't 10g of carbs equates to 40 calories?... Even when considering the other macros into count it's...
I’ve noticed that macros don’t always add up to the calories listed on food labels. Is it more accurate to count macros to where they need to be and then calculate the calories based off them? Or instead, to get...

Example: I'm drinking a can coke right now. 39 grams of carbs, 0 grams of protein and fat. Nutritional label says the can is 140 calories. But 39x4=156. What am I missing? I've noticed this on quite a few packaged foods.
40 grams of protein, 200 calories, WHAT? Why does nobody talk about pork crackling
