Trainer Tip: Macros

Let’s talk macros. You’ve probably heard the word “macros” tossed around at the gym, in your favorite fitness podcast, or by that one friend who suddenly started measuring their peanut butter. But what are macros, and why do they matter?
Macros is just a fun (and shorter) way of saying macronutrients—the three main nutrients your body needs in large amounts to function properly. Macronutrients are simply the carbohydrates, the proteins and the fats that make up the food you eat.
Each one plays a unique role:
-
- Protein is the builder—helping your muscles recover, grow, and stay strong.
- Carbs are your body’s favorite fuel source. They give you energy to crush workouts, chase kids, or simply survive Mondays.
- Fats are your hormone helpers and vitamin transporters. Plus, they make food taste so good.
