Why macros matter

Macronutrients provide energy and raw materials for muscle repair, hormone production, and daily function.

Protein

Protein supports muscle repair and growth. Most active people do well with 1.6–2.2 g per kg of body weight per day.

Carbohydrates

Carbs fuel training intensity and help you perform better in the gym. They also support recovery by replenishing glycogen.
