Understanding Macronutrients
Overview:
Knowing how protein, fats, and carbs work together empowers you to build meals with purpose.
Details:
Macronutrients fuel your energy, support performance, and aid recovery. A balanced meal might look like:
Lean protein (e.g., grilled chicken)
Quality carbs (e.g., quinoa)
Healthy fats (e.g., avocado)
Why It’s Important:
Balance avoids energy crashes, supports muscle and brain function, and improves consistency in how you feel and perform.
Action Step:
Build your next plate using the macronutrient triangle: 1 protein, 1 carb, 1 fat. Bonus: make it colorful and fresh.
