Wellness Wednesday: What Are Macros and Why Do They Matter?

Macros or macronutrients are the nutrients your body needs in larger amounts to function well. They include:

-PROTEIN: builds and repairs muscles, helps with fullness. Lean meat, fish, beans, eggs and aim for steady intake daily.

-CARBOHYDRATES: your body’s main source of energy and fuel for your brain. Fruit, grains, veggies and focus on Quality, not cutting them out.

-FATS: support hormones, brain health, and help absorb vitamins. Nuts, olive oil, salmon; healthy fats support long-term health.

Why are they important? When your macros are out of balance, you may feel sluggish, have cravings, or struggle to meet health goals. Paying attention to your macros helps you fuel your body better and stay on track with energy, weight management, and overall wellness.

What should you track? Protein, carbs, and fats—not just calories. It’s the balance that matters.

How to simplify in a busy life:
- Use the plate method: fill 1/2 your plate with vegetables and fruit, 1/4 with lean protein, and 1/4 with carbs such as whole grains or starchy vegetables, and a source of healthy fat.
- Rotate a few go-to meals to make life easier.
- Hydration matters just as much as food balance.
- Even tracking macros for just a week can give insight into where you may be off balance.

Final pearl: It’s not about being perfect. Small, consistent habits create the biggest changes.
