Hello Steemit community!

You'll be going on a diet and you are not even sure how and what to eat?
That's why I bring you today a small guide with which I will help clarify some things.

First of all, let's clarify some things.

What are macronutrients?
These are all nutrients the body needed for growth and development.
These include proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

So the macronutrients are protein, carbohydrate and fat.
But what are the best sources of each of the nutrient?

Proteins

Proteins are important nutrients that contain the essential and non-essential amino acids that provide energy to the body.

Proteins are essential nutrients for growth and development of muscles, bones, tissues and ligaments.
They are important for the maintenance of body functions such as digestion, metabolism and cirkulation.
It also helps fight infections as strengthen the immune system.

The best source of proteins, from my opinion are meat, eggs, fish and cheese.

Lack of protein in the body can cause catabolism (muscle loss), heart failure and weak immune system.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates serve as the main source of energy in our body and are composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen.
Often, the main culprit for weight gain, therefore any diet for weight loss contains a small percentage of carbohydrates.

They provide energy for muscle growth, but also the energy needed the brain and other organs to work.
With regard to the composition they are often called and sugars.

Carbohydrates can be divided into simple and complex.

Simple carbohydrates are composed of only one (moonosaharidi) or two (disaccharides) molecules. They are digested quickly, already 15 minutes after entering.

Complex sugars (polysaccharides) are made up of more monosaccharides and generally have slightly lower GI value.

Fats

Many people believe that fats should be avoided completely because they are bad for us. Of course, completely wrong!

Fat along with proteins and carbohydrates are main ingredients, with the energy value of 9kcal per gram of fat.

Fat after carbohydrates are the main and backup source of energy for our body.
Fatty acids are divided into saturated and unsaturated.

In nature fats occur in two physical states, so are also esters of unsaturated fatty acids, the main components of the oil, and esters of saturated fatty acids are the main constituents of solid fat.

Saturated fatty acids is mainly food of animal origin, and source of unsaturated fatty acids are oils of vegetable origin.

How to combine macronutrients in the diet

What are the best combination of nutrients for your body and the line?
To achieve the best results not only important to eat healthy foods and healthy, you have to know how to properly combine and what time of day to eat.

Protein + Fat
The best combination of fat loss. Eat this combination without any carbs at every meal except for a meal before and after training.

Protein + Carbohydrates
Ideal combination for meal before and after training.
Before training becaouse you will get energy for good training performance and after training for refill glycogen reserve.

Carbohydrates + Fats
Just don't, don't combine this.
