Understanding Macros
Macronutrients—protein, carbohydrates, and fats—are the essential nutrients that provide our bodies with energy and support various functions like muscle repair, hormone regulation, and brain function.
Understanding the right balance of these macronutrients is key to fueling our bodies properly, especially when we have specific goals like building strength, improving energy, or losing fat.
Simply guessing or eyeballing portions often leads to under-consuming important nutrients, especially protein. This is why I recommend using MyFitnessPal to my clients.
It's a great tool for tracking macronutrients, learning about the composition of different foods, and ensuring you're eating the right amounts to support your health and fitness goals. Tracking, even temporarily, helps build awareness and teaches you how to make better, more informed choices over time.
