Fuel Your Performance with Essential Macronutrients
Understanding nutrition is crucial at Asset Health and Performance, where we recognize its impact on physique, body composition, and peak performance. Our nutrition education focuses on the three main macronutrients—protein, carbohydrates, and fats—each playing a unique role in fueling your body and supporting your training goals.
Dive into the science of macronutrients with our expert-guided nutrition program. Learn how proteins, carbs, and fats contribute to tissue repair, energy supply, and overall health, enhancing your ability to perform at your best.
Protein is vital for muscle growth and repair, providing 4 calories per gram and having the highest thermogenic effect, meaning a significant portion of its energy is used just during digestion. It’s also the most satiating macronutrient, making it crucial for those in a calorie deficit.
Carbs are your body’s primary fuel source, especially during high-intensity workouts. Offering 4 calories per gram, they’re easily digestible (except dietary fiber) and crucial for performance, particularly before and after training.
Fats are calorically dense, providing 9 calories per gram, and are essential for hormone production and vitamin transport. Though they digest slowly and have lower satiation, they are an important energy source, especially when carbohydrates are scarce.
Explore how to balance these macronutrients to support your fitness goals, improve body composition, and enhance recovery and performance.
Learn the best times to consume each macronutrient to optimize your workouts and recovery, based on the latest scientific research.
Get tailored nutrition advice that considers your individual health needs, fitness goals, and dietary preferences to maximize your results.
Use the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), Body Mass Index (BMI), and Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) calculator as a basic guide to understand your metabolic rates and energy expenditure.
Keep in mind that individual differences and multiple factors affect these calculations, so they should be seen as general estimates rather than precise measurements.
