Calories are units of energy that our bodies use to function throughout the day. Macronutrients—proteins, fats, and carbohydrates—are the three main components of food that provide this energy and support various bodily functions.

Protein

Fats

Important for hormone production, nutrient absorption, and energy storage. Sources include avocados, nuts, olive oil, and fish.

Carbohydrates

Primary energy source for daily activities. Found in grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes.
