Macronutrients

Macronutrients are required in larger amounts than micronutrients. They provide your body with calories in the form of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. 

Although fiber doesn't contain calories, it's included under the Macronutrient category because it plays such an important role in optimal health.

Most foods are made of up ​all three macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) in varying amounts. However, we categorize a food according to its highest macronutrient.

For example, 1 cup of chickpeas contains:

 44 grams of carbohydrates
​   14 grams of protein
     4 grams of fat

Although chickpeas contain a significant amount of protein, they're categorized as a carbohydrate since they contain a higher amount of carbohydrates.

Life’s greatest lessons often come from facing uncomfortable situations and tackling challenges head-on. If we shy away from hard things, we never discover the incredible strength that lies within us. 💪
The path to a healthier you begins right here, right now, with the body you have today. Embrace it, nurture it, and be kind to it, because it’s the precious vessel that will lead you to your goals and dreams. 🌈☀️
Our past has shaped us and it carries valuable lessons. But it’s essential to approach it with an open heart and a willingness to learn and grow. If you’re not ready to glean wisdom from your past, it’s okay to stop in the name of love and step away until you are. 🛑 💕
It’s in our audacious dreams that we discover our raison d’être (reason for being). If we can imagine it, we have the capacity within ourselves to make it happen. 🌟🙌
Holding back love from yourself is futile, let alone impossible! Love is your essence, it’s what you’re made of, it’s the fabric of who you are. Love is meant to flow freely within us, through us, and from us. 💕🐠
Sometimes we forget that our greatest hero can be the one we’ve often overlooked.
