 How to calculate proteins, fats, carbohydrates and what is it for?

Health, activity, mood and appearance of a person directly depend on his diet. The eternal law of nature operates in it - the need for a balance of components. Our food consists of the so-called nutrients, their ratio affects the amount of nutrients in the body, weight gain or loss, and overall well-being.When composing a healthy menu, they are calculated taking into account the total calorie content of the diet.

What it is?

Nutrients are the most important "building material" of our body, the ratio of which determines the amount of energy received from food, and the peculiarities of its processing by the body.

Science divides them into three key groups:

proteins responsible for muscle growth
fats that control hormonal balance, brain function, absorption of vitamins
carbohydrates are a source of glucose.

Nutrients differ in energy value, effect on the body, and for a correct diet, you need to know how much of them should be in food - in terms of calories and in percentage.

Weight loss role and percentage

The balance of nutrients helps to correctly build a nutrition scheme and fix it for a long time (ideally, for life). It is important not to lose weight extremely, harming your health, but to systematically "transfer" your body to the mode of optimal functioning - with a sufficient amount of calories and a protein-carbohydrate-fat ratio. By choosing the right percentage of nutrients, we help the body to trigger the mechanism of fat burning, mass gain or muscle volume.
