Breakfast choices that align with macronutrient targets are meals specifically designed to meet predetermined ratios of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. For example, a high-protein, moderate-carbohydrate, and low-fat breakfast could consist of egg whites with spinach and a small serving of oatmeal.
Strategic consumption of these breakfast meals can assist with weight management, muscle gain, or sustained energy levels throughout the morning. Historically, dietary recommendations often emphasized calorie counting, but a focus on macronutrients provides a more nuanced approach to optimizing nutrition and achieving specific fitness or health goals.
