📝 Understanding Macronutrients:

🔍 What Are Macronutrients?

Macronutrients, or "macros", are the nutrients your body needs in large amounts to produce energy and sustain physical activity. These include:

Protein
Carbohydrates
Fats

Each macronutrient plays a specific and critical role in how your body functions—especially when you train consistently and with intensity.

💪 Macronutrients and Their Benefits

1. Protein

Primary role: Muscle repair and growth
Why it matters: Every workout breaks down muscle tissue. Protein is what your body uses to repair and buildthat muscle back stronger.
Common sources: Chicken, eggs, beef, whey protein, Greek yogurt, tofu

2. Carbohydrates

Calories per gram: 4 kcal
Primary role: Energy production
Why it matters: Carbs are stored as glycogen in your muscles and liver. They are the main fuel for intense workouts, helping you train harder and recover faster.
Common sources: Oats, rice, fruits, potatoes, whole grain bread, pasta

3. Fats

Why it matters: Fats help produce key hormones like testosterone, support brain function, and keep your body in balance. They’re essential—not the enemy.
Common sources: Avocados, olive oil, nuts, seeds, fatty fish (like salmon)

🎯 Macros in Action: How They Align With Your Training Goal

📈 Gaining Size (Bulking)

Want to add size and strength? This phase requires more food, especially from protein and carbs, to build muscle efficiently.

🔥 Losing Fat (Cutting)

Looking to get lean? This involves eating fewer calories—but macros still matter. Cutting carbs slightly while keeping protein high helps preserve muscle while reducing fat.

🧱 Building Lean Muscle

Aiming to improve muscle without gaining fat? This strategy focuses on dialing in your macros precisely—enough to build muscle, not enough to gain excess weight.

👋 Want to Use Macros the Right Way?

Understanding macros is just the first step. Knowing how to track them, adjust them over time, and fit them into your daily lifestyle is where the real progress happens.
