Proteins,Carbohydrates and Fats

Before we get into a diet plan,it is very important for us to understand macros or macronutrients.

Every bite of food that we consume is made up of three macronutrients that includes proteins, carbohydrates and fats.These macronutrients make up the calories.

The science of weight loss is pretty simple.In order to lose weight you have to be in a calorie deficit.Being in a calorie deficit means eating less than the average amount of calories that are required by the body for daily maintenance.

You can calculate your daily calorie requirement online (just google search daily calorie calculator).

Now since you know how much is your calorie requirement,you need to figure out how much calorie deficit to maintain inorder to lose weight.Ideally maintaining a deficit of 500 calories per day is a healthy way to lose weight.

Say for example my daily calorie requirement is 2000 calories,then in order to lose weight I have to maintain a calorie deficit,let’s say 500 calories per day.Now the remaining 1500 calories that I will consume,it is important for me to understand from where these calories are coming.Here comes the importance of macros.

How much calories should come from each of the three macronutrients?

As important as it is to calculate how much calories we should consume in a day,it is also important to understand how much of these calories come from which source i.e which macronutrient.

Each macronutrient contains different amounts of calories.These calories are calculated per gram of macros that we consume.As a general consumption proportion,the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends the ratio of each macros in the daily diet which can help us to determine a proper balanced diet. 

Approximate calculation of calories per gram and WHO recommended ratio for each of the macros in your daily diet is given below.

Macronutrient	Calories(approx.) per gram	Calories(approx.) per gram
Carbohydrates	4	55-75%
Proteins	4	10-15%
Fats	9	15-30%

Calories In And Calories Out

As discussed earlier the ultimate weight loss revolves around only one thing that is calorie deficit.

There are two ways by which you can be in a calorie deficit.

The first and the the most craving is eating less calories.

The second one and the most ignored is burning excess calories.

“Calories In” means the amount of calories you consume on a daily basis.There is only one source of calories intake and that is food.

The amount of calories that you consume does not depend upon how much you consume but what you consume.

“Calories out” means the amount of calories that you burn throughout the day.

Unlike calories in there are many ways by which you can burn calories.

Firstly your body burns out a good amount of calories to perform its day to day functions.

Another way by which we can burn calories is by performing various physical activities like Swimming,dancing,weight lifting etc.

The ultimate point is that by combining the calories in and calories out we should maintain a calorie deficit in order to lose weight.
