Macros are the foundation of your muscle gain diet.- Protein: Crucial for muscle repair and growth (aim for 1.6-2.2g per kg body weight).
- Carbohydrates: Primary fuel source for workouts and replenishing glycogen (4-6g per kg body weight or more).
- Fats: Essential for hormone production and overall health (0.8-1.2g per kg body weight).
The exact ratio depends on individual preference and response, but protein should always be high.
"Macros are your fuel; get the mix right for optimal performance."
