Protein, carbs and fat — without the noise

A plain-language map of macros so you can read your daily totals with confidence.

Three jobs on one plate

Protein helps you stay full and maintain muscle. Carbs fuel training and daily energy. Fat carries flavor and helps you feel satisfied.

You do not need to micromanage every gram. Knowing what each macro roughly does is enough to steer the day.

Read totals as a conversation

If protein is low and hunger is high, add protein first. If energy dips mid-afternoon, check whether carbs were cut too hard.

Fat is useful — just easy to pour. Oils, nuts and cheese add up quietly, which is why a photo review helps.

Use targets as rails

Daily targets are guides, not grades. A day can be uneven and still fit the week.

LeanFood shows calories beside protein, carbs and fat so you can adjust the next meal instead of starting over tomorrow.
