When people talk about “macros,” they’re referring to the three macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fat. These are the three nutrients that make up the calories in everything you eat. Each plays a different role in how your body functions and how you perform, feel, and look.

• Protein helps to build and repair your muscles and keeps you fuller longer.
• Carbohydrates (carbs) are your body’s main source of energy.
• Fat supports hormone function and helps with nutrient absorption.

Tracking macros doesn’t mean you’re just looking at how many calories you’re eating. You’re paying attention to where those calories come from. Instead of labeling foods “good” or “bad,” it’s about understanding how each food fits into your overall goals. It gives you the flexibility to eat foods you enjoy (yes, even things like pizza and ice cream) while still staying on track.

At the end of the day, mastering your macros is one of the biggest game changers for building a sustainable, enjoyable lifestyle. It’s not just another “diet.”
