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
