WHAT ARE MACROS?

Macros, short for macronutrients, are the three categories of nutrients that your body uses the most for energy. All three macronutrients are instrumental to a healthy diet.

​

Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy. Specific organs in your body, such as your brain, need carbohydrates in order to function properly.

​

Proteins allow your body to build and repair tissues and protect your muscle mass. 

​

Fat allows you to store energy, cushion organs, make certain hormones, absorb fat soluble vitamins, and helps with cell membrane integrity.

​

When eaten in the right ratios, these three macronutrients can improve your weight, health, and overall physical well-being.
