We're back again! On the Third Day of Christmas my PT gave to me…. 3 Macronutrients
Nutrition is hugely important part of a healthy lifestyle. All our foods are made up of macronutrients; Protein (which builds and repairs muscle), Fats (a source of energy, insulation and hormone transport) and Carbohydrates (energy source). The quality of these macronutrients matter as some are a lot more nutritious than others and help us to perform at an optimum level. Others are more harmful and can lead to disease and health problems.
Tom’s Tip: To build and maintain muscle, try and aim to consume 1g of protein per lb of body weight each day!
