The Lazy Macros Challenge During COVID-19 Closure

WHAT IS IT?

This challenge was designed by OptimizeMe Nutrition and focuses on ensuring a baseline level of fruits, veggies, and protein every day — without weighing and measuring everything and without restricting anything! Hence, it’s “lazy” but still offers significant results. 

It combines the #800gChallenge® (eating 800 grams, by weight, of fruits and veggies each day) with a protein target. By setting a target on these underrepresented items in most diets, the overall quantity is reduced and a more even macronutrient balance is achieved.

In addition, points are awarded for working out AND achieving enough sleep – an important and overlooked aspect to one’s goals. Therefore, the Lazy Macros Challenge tackles the 4 major areas (diet quality, diet quantity, exercise, and sleep) that affect the goals most everyone wants: better body composition, performance, and overall health. Here’s a one-sheet with all the rules and scoring details.
