A deep dive into the macro-components of food. This session shifts the focus from total energy to the specific physiological roles, classifications, and metabolic behaviors of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, alongside practical label reading. What Students Should Know Entering This Session: How to calculate TDEE (from Session 1).

The basic concept of caloric intake versus energy expenditure. Core Learning Objectives:

  • Differentiate between the structural, metabolic, and energetic roles of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids within the human body.
  • Convert macronutrient grams into calories (and vice versa) using precise energy values per gram.
  • Deconstruct standard nutrition facts labels to critically evaluate ingredient quality, macronutrient ratios, and serving sizes.
  • Evaluate how altering macronutrient ratios impacts body composition, performance, and daily satiety levels.
