🥦🍗 Unlock the Power of Macronutrients! 🍗🥦

Ever wondered what fuels your body and how to balance your diet? It’s all about macronutrients! Here’s a quick guide to understanding these essential nutrients:

🔹 Carbohydrates: Your body’s primary energy source! Find them in grains, fruits, and veggies.

🔹 Proteins: Vital for muscle repair and growth. Get them from meat, dairy, and legumes.

🔹 Fats: Crucial for hormone production and energy. Enjoy healthy fats from avocados, nuts, and olive oil.

The ideal macronutrient proportions can vary based on individual goals, activity levels, and health conditions.

For General Health:
Carbohydrates: 45-65% of total daily calories
Proteins: 10-35% of total daily calories
Fats: 20-35% of total daily calories

For Muscle Building:

🚀🏋️‍♀️ Master Your Workout with the Magic of Rep Ranges! 🏋️‍♂️🚀

Want to supercharge your fitness routine? It’s all about the rep ranges! Here’s why adjusting your reps can make a big difference:

🔹 For Strength: Go heavy with low reps (1-6). Perfect for building raw power and getting stronger!

🔹 For Muscle Growth: Moderate reps (8-12) are ideal for hypertrophy, helping you pack on muscle size and definition.

🔹 For Endurance: Higher reps (15+) with lighter weights boost your muscular endurance, keeping you going longer!

By varying your rep ranges, you not only keep workouts exciting but also target different muscle fibers and fitness goals. Give your body the challenge it needs to grow and thrive! 💥💪

Mix it up and see the results! 💪✨

I've been having issues posting to FB so we're a bit late getting this up.
