Frequently Asked Questions
What are macronutrients?
Macronutrients are the three main nutrients your body needs in large amounts: carbohydrates, protein, and fat. They provide all the energy (calories) in food.
What is a good macro ratio?
A balanced ratio is typically 45-65% carbs, 10-35% protein, and 20-35% fat. Ratios vary based on goals like weight loss, muscle gain, or athletic performance.
How much protein do I need for muscle gain?
For muscle growth, aim for 1.6-2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, along with adequate carbohydrates for energy.
