Weight management is fundamentally about energy balance. Consuming more calories than you burn leads to weight gain, while a calorie deficit results in weight loss. Understanding this principle is key to achieving your health goals.
Beyond total calories, the composition of your diet matters. Macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fats) each play unique roles in health, energy production, and body composition.
