Carbohydrates: Cupped hand-sized portion

Carbohydrates are categorized into simple and complex types. Complex carbs provide longer-lasting energy and are found in whole foods. They are essential for fueling physical activity and brain function.

Fats: Thumb-sized portion

Fats are often misunderstood, but they are necessary for many bodily functions. They provide energy, support cell growth, and protect organs. Choosing the right types of fats is key to a healthy diet.
