What Are Macros and Why Do They Matter?

Macros—it’s not just gym talk. Whether your goal is to lose weight, build lean muscle, or simply feel more energized, understanding macros is the first step toward eating with intention. Let’s break it down without the fluff. 

What Are Macros? 

Macros, short for macronutrients, are the three main nutrients your body needs in large amounts to function: 

• Protein: Supports lean muscle, aids in recovery, and keeps you fuller for longer. Think chicken, tofu, fish, eggs. 

• Carbs: Your brain’s BFF and your body’s fuel source. Choose complex carbs like oats, quinoa, and sweet potatoes for long-lasting energy. 

• Fats: Needed for brain function, hormone regulation, and nutrient absorption. Avocados, olive oil, and nuts are your go-to. 

Why Macro Tracking Works 

Macro tracking helps you focus on quality, not just quantity. Instead of obsessing over calories, you focus on where those calories come from—making it easier to eat for your goals and still enjoy your food.
