Macros 101: The Simple Guide to Eating for Your Goals

Macros = Protein, Carbs, and Fats

Each one matters, and the right balance can help you lose fat, tone up, or build muscle— without crash diets or cutting your favorite foods.

Here’s how they work:

• Protein: Builds & repairs muscle. Keeps you full. (Aim for 1.2–2g per kg of body weight)
• Carbs: Fuel your workouts & recovery. Don’t fear them—embrace them smartly.
• Fats: Support hormones, mood, and metabolism. Think avocados, nuts, and olive oil.

You don’t need to weigh every bite, but understanding macros helps you make better food choices. Want to feel stronger, not just smaller? Don’t just eat less— eat smarter.
