Period 7 Blog 9 Macro Nutrients Explained

div>

Everything you eat can be classified into three primary macro nutrient categories. You have probably heard of them before they are, Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Fats. It is extremely important for a number of reasons that we will go into in the near future that you have a balance of each macro nutrient at every meal that you eat. Examples of the types of food for each macro nutrient are below.

Carbohydrates: Bread, Pasta, Rice, Cookies, Cakes, Cereals, Grains, Vegetables, and Fruits

Proteins: Meat, Poultry, Eggs, Fish, seafood, Peanut butter, Tofu, Powders

Fats: Oils, Nuts, Seeds, dressing

For this weeks blog I want you to look at your blog from last week and tell me if your breakfast has each of the macro nutrients in it. If it does great! You are doing your body a great service. If not, tell me what macro nutrients you are missing and what you could eat to balance out your breakfast.

  13. My average breakfast contains carbohydrates and fats however it lacks meat or really any protein. To balance out my breakfast I could start eating eggs or I could have a tuna sandwich which would provide me with meat and even more carbohydrates.

  19. My breakfast has pretty much all the nutrition it needs to have, although it does lack carbohydrates. Also, instead of having a protein and nutrition drink in the morning, it would probably be better to gut my nutrition naturally, not artificially.
