What are macronutrients?
Macronutrients are nutrients that your body needs in large amounts to function optimally.

The three main macronutrients are protein, carbohydrates and fat. They’re considered essential nutrients, meaning your body either cannot make them or cannot make enough of them.

For example, proteins provide essential amino acids, while fats contain essential fatty acids. Your body utilizes these components for specific functions.

Macronutrients also contain energy in the form of calories. Carbs are the main energy source, but your body can use other macronutrients for energy if needed.

The calorie content of each macronutrient is:

Carbs: 4 calories per gram
Protein: 4 calories per gram
Fat: 9 calories per gram
