Beef Bavette Recipe

Why is energy important?

Our bodies need energy to survive! We require energy to support our essential bodily functions, the growth and repair of cells and tissues, and to enable us to perform physical activity. 

How to get more energy from your food.

In food, energy is expressed as calories. We obtain calories from three macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates and fat. These are required in large quantities by the body, hence the term ‘macro’. Each macro has its own energy value. Both protein and carbohydrate provide 4 calories per gram, whilst fats provide 9 calories per gram. To optimise your energy levels, we recommend consuming a balanced diet and including a variety of high quality and wholefood sources of each macronutrient. By consuming a good balance of macronutrients, from high-quality sources, you’ll most likely be obtaining all the micronutrients (essential vitamins and minerals) that you require to function optimally too!
