Apply for coaching: Colossus Fitness - The Polished Physique ProgramIn today's episode we talk to you about the pyramid of nutrition priorities.1- Energy balance2- MacronutrientsCarbohydrates contain 4 kcal per gramProteins contain 4 kcal per gramFats contain 9 kcal per gram (this is roughly double the amount found in the other two macros)Protein: allows your body to grow, build and repair tissues, and protect lean body mass (your muscle mass)Carbs: are eventually broken down into glucose, which is the main energy source for your body.-there are carbohydrates that help synthesize specific amino acids (protein building blocks) and allow for consistent bowel movements. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that cannot be broken down by your GI tract. Therefore, this nutrient does not give you energy, but it does help rid your body of waste and keeps your intestinal tract healthy.Fats: Allows you to store energy, cushion organs, make certain hormones, absorb fat soluble vitamins, and helps with cell membrane integrity.Fat gets a bad reputation because it is the highest in calories and certain types of fat are not good for us, but if you can focus on the type of fat and amount of fat, it is instrumental to a healthy diet.3- Micronutrients*Quality of foods is super important and avoid just eating nonsense4- Meal timing5- SupplementsThanks for listening!
