If you have been with us for a while or have been on ‘diets’ in the past the chances are you have heard the term “Macronutrients” or “Macros”!
???
The Macronutrients are the three “big” (literally, macro) nutrients that provide energy for the body. That energy is measured in either calories or kilojoules; different units that measure the same thing, just like inches and centimetres.
Converting calories to Kilojoules
Divide your Kilojoules by 4.184 to convert that amount into calories ⚖️ or 4.2 will work just fine
Over the next few days, I’ll be breaking down each Macronutrient with a little more detail. But below is a brief summary ⬇️⬇️⬇️
??Protein – Help Build Muscle
??Carbohydrate – Bodies preferred energy source
??Fat – Help you absorb nutrients
