- 1 Wikipedia should just mimic Google and word doc format
- 2 Image upload is just stupid and ridiculous since people check it anyway. It wont let me upload anything because it says it is not ready for wikipedia commons, I don't know how to make my own image. Screw this website.
- 3 This an obnoxious amount of training to use a blog.

Macronutrients
[edit]The macronutrients are carbohydrates, fiber, fats, protein, and water.[1] The macronutrients (excluding fiber and water) provide structural material (amino acids from which proteins are built, and lipids from which cell membranes and some signaling molecules are built) and energy. Some of the structural material can be used to generate energy internally, and in either case it is measured in Joules or kilocalories (often called "Calories" and written with a capital C to distinguish them from little 'c' calories). Carbohydrates and proteins provide 17 kJ approximately (4 kcal) of energy per gram, while fats provide 37 kJ (9 kcal) per gram,[2] though the net energy from either depends on such factors as absorption and digestive effort, which vary substantially from instance to instance. Vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water do not provide energy, but are required for other reasons. Each Macro nutrients should account for a certain part of a persons diet. The daily recommended value percentage of carbohydrates is about 45%of 65%, 20%-35% percent should be healthy fats and 10%-35% protein of your daily calorie intake. If you base these percentages off a diet of about 2,500 calories a day that comes to about 282 g - 406 g of carbohydrates, 56 g -97 g of fats and 63 g - 219 g of protein [3]
Molecules of carbohydrates and fats consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Carbohydrates range from simple monosaccharides (glucose, fructose, galactose) to complex polysaccharides (starch). Fats are triglycerides, made of assorted fatty acid monomers bound to a glycerol backbone. Some fatty acids, but not all, are essential in the diet: they cannot be synthesized in the body. Protein molecules contain nitrogen atoms in addition to carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. The fundamental components of protein are nitrogen-containing amino acids, some of which are essential in the sense that humans cannot make them internally. Some of the amino acids are convertible (with the expenditure of energy) to glucose and can be used for energy production, just as ordinary glucose, in a process known as gluconeogenesis. By breaking down existing protein, the carbon skeleton of the various amino acids can be metabolized to intermediates in cellular respiration; the remaining ammonia is discarded primarily as urea in urine. This occurs normally only during prolonged starvation.
