What Are Macros (and Fiber)? (Show More)
Macronutrients, or “macros,” are the three main nutrients your body needs in large amounts to function: Protein, Carbohydrates, and Fats.
- Protein: Essential for building and repairing tissues (like muscles), producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting immune function.
- Carbohydrates: Your body’s primary source of energy for daily activities, brain function, and exercise.
- Fats: Important for hormone production, vitamin absorption (A, D, E, K), cell structure, and providing concentrated energy.
- Fiber: While technically a type of carbohydrate, fiber plays a unique and crucial role. It aids in digestion, helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes fullness, and supports gut health. Good sources include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and legumes.
Understanding your macro intake, along with ensuring adequate fiber, can help you achieve specific health and fitness goals, whether it’s weight loss, muscle gain, or maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
