#Macronutrient

Described as the triumphant trio fueling the body’s machinery, they demand calories as their daily tribute. Carbohydrates stage dramatic blood sugar roller coasters, fats build troublesome hideouts of insulation, and proteins preside as stern site managers of muscle construction. Overindulge or underfeed, and they alternate between applause and agony. These paradoxical heroes of nutrition toy with both flesh and will. Under the banner of health, our comic attempts to tame their rampages are repeated ad infinitum.
