What are Macros?

Macronutrients (macros) are the three main suppliers of nutrients in your diet: protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Each plays a specific role in your body:

  • Protein (4 calories/gram): Essential for building and repairing muscle tissue. Higher protein intake helps preserve muscle during fat loss and promotes satiety.
  • Carbohydrates (4 calories/gram): Your body's primary energy source. Carbs fuel your workouts and support brain function.
  • Fats (9 calories/gram): Vital for hormone production, joint health, and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).

Flexible Dieting, or IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros), focuses on hitting these daily macronutrient targets rather than restricting specific food groups.
