Let's talk macros...

The three macronutrients are proteins, carbohydrates, and fat. Each serves an important role in your body. Eating the right amount of each based on your goals and specific needs helps optimize health, performance and body composition.

Protein helps keep you lean, build and/or maintain muscle and stay full.

Fat assists with brain function, allows for nutrient absorption, keeps you feeling full, improves the taste and texture of food and so much more.

Carbs are a great energy source. They help fuel your body, keep your brain sharp, and support recovery by replenishing your body after training.

Your body needs micronutrients  (vitamins and minerals) in very small amounts versus macronutrients (protein, carbs and fat), which the body needs in larger amounts.

Micronutrients are essential for your body to operate at its full potential. This includes maintaining bone health, metabolism, hormonal balance, immune function and healthy digestion.

Dietary Fiber

This indigestible component of plant based carbohydrates has a host of benefits both that increase overall health and support dietary adherence.

Fiber benefits include:

• Lowering cholesterol
• Keeping blood sugar levels even
• Slowing gastric emptying which can increase fullness
• Absorbing water as it passes through the intestine, helping with regularity

Hitting your daily fiber goal helps to ensure that you are eating a variety of micronutrient dense foods. Because fiber is filling, eating a diet high in fiber keeps hunger and cravings at bay, making it easier to stay on track with healthy food choices and quantities!
