Ok let's dive into the world of macronutrients. 

Macronutrients are the big players in our diets and understanding them can help you make healthier choices and clear up some questions you may have about 'what' you should eat.

Carbs: Your Energy Source

Carbohydrates are your body's primary energy source. Think of them as the fuel for your daily activities. They're found in foods like bread, pasta, rice, and fruits. Make sure they're a part of your meals in some way to stay energized.

Protein: Building Blocks for Growth

Protein is essential for growth and repair. It's like the builder in your body, helping repair muscle tissue. Foods like lean meat, fish, and beans are rich in protein. For example, a 70-year-old man weighing 70kg might aim for 56 grams of protein daily. Post activity and sa your last meal to further aid in recovery and immune function.

Fats: The Good and the Bad

Not all fats are created equal. Some are good for your health, like those in avocados and nuts. Others, like trans fats, should be limited. Aim for 25-35% of your daily energy intake from fats if you're between 4-18 years old as they aid in hormone production as well.
