MICRONUTRIENTS
Micronutrients are the things you may have heard a lot about, but may not understand what they are or what they do within the human body.
The video below summarise these as much as possible, along with give you some information about what they do to our bodies, how we can avoid deficiencies, and the foods we can eat to ensure we're getting adequate amounts.
The video below explains these.
Micronutrients
As we covered in the video, the micronutrients are important for a variety of reasons. Maintaining normal bodily functions being the primary one, and making sure we're getting adequate amounts of each nutrient.
Don't worry though, a calorie and macro monitored diet will ensure you tick all of the boxes, so don't stress out!
Consistency is king
There is little point in hitting one single macro target, if you're drastically under/over your calorie target.
Think rocks, pebbles and grains of sand.
Your calories are the rocks, the big important bits that take up the majority of the room.
The macros are the pebbles, they're a lot smaller than the rocks, they're still there, and are important but in terms of developing habits, are a lot smaller in comparison to the rocks.
The grains of sand of sand, again are still important, however, not as much as the rocks or the pebbles, these are the micronutrients, which are worth knowing about about, but not worth spending a massive amount of time on (which is good, because we've condensed them right down into a quick video guide!)
