This podcast covers 2 weeks of this course - Week 4 (carbohydrates) and Week 5 (Fats & Protein)! Join me for a walk as we talk about the 3 macronutrients: carbohydrates, lipids/fats, and proteins. During this podcast, we'll talk about what each macronutrient is, why our body needs it, how much we need each day, and the food sources the macronutrients come from. Towards the end of today's talk, we'll discuss 5 take-home-tips for each macronutrient as a way to try to distill down the comprehensive info into manageable bite-sized pieces of useful information!

Information from this podcast comes from our HLTH 120 course textbook: "Nutrition & You" (5th Edition) by Joan Salge Blake, ChooseMyPlate.gov, and the American Heart Association (heart.org).
