Private: Get Jacked: The Science-Backed System for Gaining Strength, Losing Fat, and Lifelong Health

“Macronutrients are the components of food that the body needs for energy and to maintain its structure and systems,” explains wellness dietitian Lindsey Wohlford. “Macro means ‘big.’” 

Energy balance is the cornerstone of fat loss and muscle gain. Simply put, your body weight changes depending on the relationship between calories consumed (through food and drink) and calories burned (via basal metabolic rate, physical activity, and digestion). If you consistently consume more calories than you burn, you gain weight; if you burn more than you consume, you lose weight. Maintaining weight requires balancing these amounts over time.​

Macronutrients—proteins, carbohydrates, and fats—are the three nutrients your body needs in large quantities to fuel movement, build and repair tissue, and regulate essential bodily processes. Proteins, found in foods like chicken, fish, and beans, are crucial for muscle growth and repair. Carbohydrates (in grains, fruits, vegetables) provide energy for workouts and daily life. Fats (in nuts, oils, avocados) are vital for hormonal balance and energy storage. Each plays a role in body composition, appetite regulation, and long-term health, and getting adequate amounts of each is essential for optimal performance and wellbeing.​

Understanding these basic principles allows you to tailor your eating and exercise to your goals—whether that’s losing fat, gaining muscle, or maintaining health. The science shows that you don’t need extreme measures; consistent attention to calorie intake and macronutrient balance, combined with an active lifestyle, is the foundation for real results.
