The GetMacros Journal
Better questions make better food decisions
A small, carefully edited collection about restaurant meals, protein, supplements and the claims that deserve a closer look.
Five thoughtful reads
Current questions, answered without the drama
Each post separates what research measured from what people repeat online, then finishes with a decision you can actually use.
Which fast-food restaurant fits your goal?
There is no single healthiest chain. Compare the restaurants that make cutting, bulking, high-protein and plant-based orders easier.
Read the comparison →How much protein can your body absorb at once?
Your body does not throw away protein after 30 grams. Absorption and maximizing one muscle-building signal are different questions.
Read the evidence →Are diet drinks bad for you?
Safety limits, weight-control evidence and the practical difference between replacing soda with diet soda and replacing water with diet soda.
Read the answer →Does creatine cause hair loss?
The rumor began with one small hormone study. A newer trial directly measured hair and changed the quality of the answer.
Read what changed →Calories vs. macros: what matters more?
Calories describe the energy budget. Macros influence what that budget feels like and supports. The useful answer needs both.

Every journal post should earn its place
- Natural question, specific answer
- Primary research or authoritative guidance linked in context
- Limitations stated near the claim
- A practical next step—not a miracle
