“Understanding Macronutrients: Carbs, Proteins, and Fats”

Macronutrients—carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—are the primary sources of energy for the body. Carbs provide quick energy, proteins support muscle growth and repair, and fats supply long-lasting energy and support cell function. A balanced diet includes all three macronutrients in the right proportions. Whole grains, lean meats, fish, nuts, and seeds are excellent sources of these nutrients. Understanding macronutrient needs helps in planning a healthy diet.
