What Are Macros — and Why Should You Care?

Let’s simplify nutrition.

Macronutrients (or macros for short) are the nutrients your body needs in large amounts to function, move, and feel good every day. They’re the foundation of your energy, recovery, strength, and even mood.

There are three main macros:

Protein, Carbohydrates, and Fat — and each plays a unique role in your health and fitness.

🍞 CARBOHYDRATES

Your body’s preferred energy source

Carbs are the fuel your brain and muscles love most. They convert into glucose (sugar), which your body uses for quick energy or stores for later.

👉 Why it matters:

Cutting carbs too much can leave you tired, foggy, and struggling to perform — whether you’re lifting weights or chasing kids.

🥩 PROTEIN

The builder and repair crew

Protein gives your body the amino acids it needs to build and maintain muscle, support your brain and immune system, and help you recover faster after workouts.

👉 Why it matters:

If you’re not eating enough protein, your body can actually start breaking down muscle — even if you’re training hard.

🥑 FAT

The hormone helper and long-lasting fuel

Fat often gets a bad rap, but it’s essential for hormone health, brain function, and protecting your organs. It also helps you absorb important vitamins and feel full and satisfied after meals.

👉 Why it matters:

The key is balance — too little fat can disrupt hormones, and too much (especially from poor sources) can slow your progress.

🔁 So… Why Track Macros?

Because it gives you clarity.

Instead of guessing what “eating healthy” means, you’ll understand exactly what your body needs based on your goals — whether that’s fat loss, strength, energy, or all of the above.

📊 Finding YourMacro Balance

There’s no one-size-fits-all macro ratio.

Your needs depend on things like:

  • Your activity level

  • Your body composition goals

  • Your lifestyle and preferences

  • Your age and hormone health

In my programs, I help you find the right macro balance for YOU — and adjust it as your body changes and progresses.
