| What Are Macros? The Big Three Explained |
|
|
|
|
-
PROTEIN: The Builder. Protein is the ultimate building block for repairing tissue and building lean muscle. It's also the most satiating macro, keeping you feeling full and satisfied for hours.
-
CARBOHYDRATES: The Engine. Carbs are your body's primary fuel source, giving you the immediate energy to power through workouts, meetings, and a busy family schedule.
-
FATS: The Regulator. Healthy fats are essential for hormone production, vitamin absorption, and brain function. They are a fantastic source of long-lasting energy.

| The Protein Power-Up: The MVP of Your Plate |
|
If macros are a team, **protein is the Most Valuable Player**. It builds lean muscle, which acts as your body's metabolic engine, burning more calories even at rest. A high-protein diet is scientifically proven to help you lose fat while preserving that vital muscle.
The government's Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is the bare minimum to prevent deficiency, *not* to thrive or transform your body. For optimal results, leading authorities like the **International Society of Sports Nutrition** recommend aiming for **1.4 to 2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.** Many find that targeting **1 gram per pound of goal body weight** is an effective and simple strategy. |
