Macro Tracker: Balance Your Plate, Power Your Life

What Are Macronutrients?

Macronutrients — or “macros” — are the nutrients your body needs in large amounts to function and thrive. Every food you eat is made up of three primary macros:

• Carbohydrates: your body’s main energy source
• Proteins: essential for muscle repair, hormones, and enzymes
• Fats: crucial for cell function, brain health, and energy storage

Understanding your macros means you’re not just eating less — you’re eating smarter.

Why Tracking Macros is More Powerful Than Just Counting Calories

Calories tell you how much you’re eating. Macros tell you what you’re actually fueling your body with.

Benefits of Macro Tracking:

• Build muscle or lose fat more effectively
• Sustain energy throughout the day
• Improve portion control
• Support hormonal and metabolic balance
• Personalize your eating to your body’s needs

What’s the Right Macro Ratio for You?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — your ideal ratio depends on your goals and lifestyle:

Goal	Protein	Carbs	Fat
Weight Loss	40%	30%	30%
Muscle Gain	35%	45%	20%
Maintenance	30%	40%	30%
Low-Carb/Keto	25%	10%	65%
