Macros, consisting of proteins, fats, and carbs, play a vital role in fueling the body and supporting muscle growth.

Eating more of the right foods, rather than focusing on eating less, is key to achieving fitness goals.

Protein-rich food sources include eggs, chicken breasts, steak, fish, and Greek yogurt.

Healthy fats, such as walnuts, avocado, chia seeds, and flaxseed oil, are important for hormonal balance and overall health.

Good carbs, like brown rice, quinoa, oats, and bananas, provide fiber and sustained energy for workouts.
