Beyond Macros: The Nutrient Breakdown of Every Meal

Beyond Macros: The Nutrient Breakdown of Every Meal

 

 Why Nutrient Breakdowns Matter

A better way to understand what you're actually eating

We’ve all heard about calories, protein, carbs, and fat. But the body doesn’t run on macros alone. It runs on systems – and those systems rely on dozens of essential nutrients every single day.

That’s why every meal in this cookbook comes with a full breakdown of 75+ nutrients. Not just a rough estimate, but a detailed view of what you're really getting — from minerals and vitamins to amino acids and healthy fats.


 Why does it matter?

Because "healthy" is vague. And guessing leads to inconsistency.
When you know what’s in your food, you can eat with intention — and build habits that last.


 Here’s what we track in each meal:

Macronutrients
✓ Protein
✓ Fat (with types)
✓ Carbs (broken into sugars, starch, fiber)
✓ Calories

Vitamins
✓ A, C, D, E, K
✓ All B-vitamins (B1–B12)
✓ Folate, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid

Minerals
✓ Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium

Trace Elements
✓ Iron, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Molybdenum, Iodine

Essential Amino Acids
✓ Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Lysine, Threonine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, Histidine

Other Amino Acids
✓ Glutamine, Glycine, Tyrosine, Serine, Cysteine, Proline

Fatty Acids
✓ Omega-3 (ALA, DHA, EPA)
✓ Omega-6 (in controlled amounts)
✓ Saturated & monounsaturated fats

Detailed Fiber Types
✓ Soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, resistant starch


 Why I cared enough to build this

I didn’t want to just “eat clean.” I wanted to know: What exactly am I giving my body — and what might still be missing?

That’s what led to this structure. Not just pretty meals — but meals that are measurable, reliable, and fully broken down.


This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being consistent, informed, and clear.
If you’re tired of guessing your way through health, this might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
