Macronutrients are your three food types: proteins, carbs, and fats. Each one plays a different role in the body, so it's important to eat all types in your diet. Proteins are the building blocks of your muscles and tissues. Carbohydrates are the primary energy source for the body. Fats help regulate systems within the body, as well as allow the brain to function normally.
