🥥 MYTH BUSTER: "Coconut oil is a superfood"
TRUTH: 82% saturated fat makes it one of the most saturated fats on Earth - higher than butter! The "medium-chain" hype doesn't override basic heart health. Save your arteries, save your money 💰 #MacroMate #NutritionFacts

Thinking of making the switch?
Swapped my usual coffee for matcha and didn’t expect much…
but the difference was obvious.

🧠 MYTH BUSTER: "Eating late makes you gain weight"
TRUTH: Your body doesn't have a magical midnight switch. Weight gain comes from eating more calories than you burn - timing is irrelevant. Night shift workers aren't doomed! Focus on WHAT and HOW MUCH, not WHEN ⏰ #MacroMate
