Understanding Macronutrients
The three main nutrients your body needs for energy and function
Proteins

Carbohydrates
Your body's primary energy source. Carbs fuel your brain, muscles, and organs. Choose complex carbs for sustained energy.
Daily Goal: 225-325g for a 2000 calorie diet
Sources: Brown Rice, Whole Wheat, Oats, Sweet Potatoes, Fruits, Vegetables, Legumes
Fats
Essential for hormone production, nutrient absorption, and brain health. Focus on unsaturated fats and limit saturated fats.
Daily Goal: 44-78g for a 2000 calorie diet
Sources: Olive Oil, Avocado, Nuts, Seeds, Fatty Fish, Coconut Oil, Nut Butters
Fiber
Supports digestive health, regulates blood sugar, and promotes satiety. Most people need more fiber in their diet.
Daily Goal: 25-30g daily

Understanding Calorie Needs
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
The number of calories your body burns at rest to maintain basic functions like breathing, circulation, and cell production.
BMR is influenced by age, sex, weight, height, and muscle mass.
Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)
Your BMR multiplied by your activity level. This is the total calories you burn daily.
To lose weight, consume fewer calories than your TDEE. To gain weight, consume more.
Recommended Calorie Intake
Most adults need between 1,600-2,400 calories daily (women) or 2,000-3,000 calories daily (men), depending on age, activity level, and goals.
