What are macro-nutrients?
Macro-nutrients are composed of two words i.e. Macro and Nutrients.
“Macro” means in large scale whereas “nutrients” are the chemical substance required by the body.
Therefore, macro-nutrients are the chemical substances required by our body in large quantities on a daily basis for the proper functioning of the body that includes carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and water. Each of them provides energy in the form of calories.
What are micro-nutrients?
‘Micro’ means small.
Micro-nutrients are the organic substances required by the body in small quantities or diminutive compared to macro-nutrients.
In simple terms, vitamins can be water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins and minerals can be macro-minerals and trace minerals.
