Understanding Macros
Macronutrients are the nutrients we need in larger quantities that provide us with energy: fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Balancing them is key to achieving your fitness goals.
Protein: The Building Block
Protein is essential for building and repairing tissues, especially muscle fibers after a workout. Good sources include chicken, fish, tofu, and legumes. Aim for 1.6-2.2g per kg of body weight if you are active.
Carbohydrates: Energy for Performance
Carbs are your body's main source of energy. Don't fear them! Complex carbs like oats, quinoa, and sweet potatoes provide sustained energy for your workouts.
Fats: Hormonal Health
Fats are vital for hormone production and nutrient absorption. Focus on healthy fats from avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil.
