Macronutrients

Macronutrients are the nutrients your body needs in larger amounts: protein, carbohydrates, and fat.

Each plays a different role, and healthy eating usually works best when meals include a sensible mix instead of focusing too narrowly on one type.

Meal quality improves when macros come from useful food sources such as fish, grains, vegetables, fruit, yogurt, beans, nuts, and olive oil.
