for us nutrients are basically requirements for life okay and then macro is it why these things

So the three big macronutrients we're going to talk about today are proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

Okay, so these are the three main nutrients that we would have in our diet and we're basically

today going through how do we digest them?

Yes.

Yeah, that's it.

We finish it absorption because we have done an episode on the digestive system and we

go through all the different functions of all the different primary and accessory organs of the GIT.

All right, so today we'll go through each one individually.

Is that the best way to do it?

Okay.

And then we'll go to the next macronutrient and then we'll summarize with an example.
