Nutrition Information
Understanding Macronutrients
Macronutrients are the nutrients your body needs in large amounts:
- Protein (4 calories per gram): Essential for building and repairing tissues, especially muscle.
- Carbohydrates (4 calories per gram): Your body's primary energy source.
- Fat (9 calories per gram): Important for hormone production, vitamin absorption, and energy storage.
The right balance of these macronutrients depends on your individual goals, activity level, and body type.
Nutrition Tips
- Aim to consume 0.7-1g of protein per pound of body weight if you're physically active.
- Complex carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables) provide more nutrients and sustained energy than simple carbs (sugar, white bread).
- Healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil support brain health and hormone function.
- Staying hydrated is crucial for optimal metabolism and nutrient transport.
- Eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables ensures you get a wide range of micronutrients.
