Finding the Right Balance of Protein, Carbs, and Fat in Your Diet

September 30, 2024

A balanced diet means eating a range of healthy, whole foods, including complex carbohydrates, protein-rich foods, and healthy fats.

In fact, these three nutrients — carbs, proteins, and fats — are the ones your body needs in the largest amounts to function well. They’re called macronutrients, or macros.

Balancing your macros in your meals helps to ensure that your body gets all the nutrients it needs and helps keep your energy stable.

In this video, Kim Ross, registered dietitian, shares tips for healthy eating while balancing carbs, proteins, and fats. Enjoying a diverse array of foods that include macros and essential micronutrients, vitamins and minerals, such as those supplied by leafy greens and other vegetables, can help you maintain your energy and stay healthy.
