The three main nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats — all essential for health.
Macronutrients are the big three nutrients your body needs in large amounts: carbs for energy, protein for muscle and repair, and fats for hormones and cell health. Balance is key for weight management.
Macronutrient distribution ranges: carbohydrates 45-65%, protein 10-35%, fat 20-35% of total energy intake. Protein-sparing modified fasts and low-carb approaches are therapeutic options under medical supervision.
Macronutrient composition affects satiety, metabolic rate, and adherence. A personalised macronutrient plan improves long-term weight loss outcomes.
