A macronutrient is a type of nutrient that the body needs in large amounts to provide energy and support bodily functions like growth, metabolism, and repair.

There are three main macronutrients:

1. Carbohydrates
• Function: Main source of energy.
• Examples: Bread, rice, pasta, fruits, vegetables, sugar.
• Calories per gram: 4 kcal

2. Proteins
• Function: Build and repair tissues, support immune function, and make enzymes and hormones.
• Examples: Meat, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, nuts.
• Calories per gram: 4 kcal

3. Fats
• Function: Provide long-term energy, support cell growth, protect organs, and help absorb vitamins.
• Examples: Oils, butter, avocados, nuts, fatty fish.
• Calories per gram: 9 kcal

In addition, water is sometimes considered a macronutrient because the body requires it in large amounts, even though it doesn’t provide calories.
