Explain What Macros Actually Are Without the Influencer Jargon

Macro talk online swings between oversimplified and needlessly complicated, with a lot of confident claims in between. This explains what protein, carbohydrate, and fat actually do, why total calories usually matter more than the exact ratio, and how your goal might shift the emphasis, without pretending this replaces a registered dietitian for anything personal.

**Explain macros:**

3. Give a general, non prescriptive sense of how {DIETARY_GOAL} typically shifts the emphasis between the three
4. State clearly this is general education, not a personalised nutrition plan, and a registered dietitian should be consulted for individual needs
