Frequently Asked Questions

What is a macronutrient?

Macronutrients are the nutrients your body needs in large quantities to function and provide energy. The three main macronutrients are: 1. Proteins (4 kcal/gram): Essential for tissue building, repair, enzyme synthesis, and immune health. 2. Carbohydrates (4 kcal/gram): The body's primary and most efficient source of metabolic energy. 3. Fats (9 kcal/gram): Vital for hormone production, brain health, cellular structure, and vitamin absorption.

How do I choose the best diet type split?

The best macronutrient split depends on your goals, habits, and body response: - Balanced: Great for general health, active lifestyles, and standard endurance exercise. - High Protein: Good for resistance training, fat loss (to preserve muscle), and promoting feelings of fullness (satiety). - Low Carb/Keto: Often preferred by individuals managing blood sugar levels, or those who find high-fat diets help control appetite.

Are the food equivalents meant to represent my diet?

No. The food equivalents are provided strictly for physical scale and cognitive intuition (to help you visualize how much 150g of protein looks like in raw food terms). They are not a meal plan. You should consume a diverse, nutrient-rich range of foods (including vegetables, legumes, whole grains, seeds, and healthy oils) rather than relying solely on these benchmark foods.
