Macronutrients influence metabolic processes in different ways:
Carbohydrates: Provide quick energy through glucose, which is stored as glycogen in muscles and the liver. Insufficient carbohydrate intake can lead to fatigue and decreased performance. Proteins: Support muscle synthesis and repair, particularly important for athletes and individuals engaging in regular physical activity. Fats: Slow down digestion, helping you feel full longer. They are also a crucial energy source during prolonged, low-intensity activities.
