So what does her typical day look like? She begins with cardio on an empty stomach, before getting in weight training—and more cardio—after work. (Take your workout to the next level with the Metashred Extreme workout from Men's Health.)
“I wake up at 4:00 a.m., go to the gym from 5:00-6:30 a.m., go to work set up for my patients at 7:30 a.m. and work until 4:30 p.m. or 5:00 depending on what’s going on,” she said in an interview. “After work, I go to the gym for two hours and do weights. In my free time I teach prevention against violence, sexual assault, and many other things for everyone on base.”
Macedo also lists her hobbies as snowboarding, skiing, beach volleyball, wakeboarding [and] scuba diving. We don't know how she fits it all in, but she is a superhero, after all.
When it comes to her diet, she says she preps all her meals on Sunday and eats very, very clean—a habit she picked up at a young age. “Both my parents came from Europe so we didn’t have soda, chips, fast food like most American families did,” she said. “It was healthy but not compared to what I eat now. My daily diet is a late breakfast, usually egg whites with oatmeal, snack protein bar, then a meal that consists of chicken or fish and rice.”

In addition to her Instagram, Macedo has her own website that lists her workouts and diet advice. On the site, she says her next goal in life is to “become a well-known international fitness model and reach as many people as possible.”
One look at her Instagram suggests it's probably a worthwhile endeavor.
