Macros Explained: Protein, Carbs & Fat for Clean Eating

What Are Macros?

Macronutrients — protein, carbohydrates, and fat — are the three types of nutrients your body needs in large quantities. Each plays a unique role in your health.

Protein: The Builder

Protein builds and repairs tissues, makes enzymes and hormones, and supports immune function. Good clean sources: chicken breast, fish, eggs, tofu, legumes.

Daily target: 1.6-2.2g per kg bodyweight for active people.

Carbohydrates: The Fuel

Carbs are your body's preferred energy source, especially for high-intensity exercise and brain function. Choose complex carbs: brown rice, sweet potato, quinoa, oats.

Daily target: 3-5g per kg bodyweight for moderate activity.

Fat: The Essential

Dietary fat is vital for hormone production, brain health, and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). Choose healthy fats: avocado, olive oil, nuts, fatty fish.

Daily target: 0.8-1.2g per kg bodyweight.
