There are three macro nutrients you need to fuel your body and they are Carbs, Protein, and Fat. Finding the right combination of these three is essential if you are going to achieve any sort of fitness goal. Finding this balance is like knowing the right mixture to make mortar. You need a certain amount of sand, water and concrete. You don't know what the correct mixture is unless someone tells you I happen to know the correct mix for both Nutrition and Making Mortar. But like Nutrition there are variables in determining the perfect mix. What exactly is being built? is it a walkway a foundation or a wall? are you using stones or brick? is it raining or is it sunny? And that's where timing comes into play. Just like Making mortar you need to have the answers to some questions before you start out on a nutrition program. What is my goal? weight loss, weight gain, increased energy, or increased athletic performance? Each person has a unique metabolism, body shape, and genetic layout therefore everyone should have a unique ideal nutrition plan. To find your ideal nutrition plan you need to go through years of trial and error, or you can ask someone who already knows the starting generic mixture to give you a starting point
At this point you will need to consult an expert, or someone who really knows what they are doing to personalize and perfect your nutrition program.
