Understanding Macronutrients: A Simple Guide for Omaha Food Lovers

Macronutrients—carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—are the foundation of a healthy diet. At Rooted Table Café, we design meals that balance all three to keep you nourished and satisfied.

Carbohydrates
Your body’s primary energy source, found in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Choose complex carbs for sustained energy.

Proteins
Essential for muscle repair, immune function, and more. We feature plant-based proteins like lentils, tofu, beans, hemp seeds, edamame, sunflower seeds, and quinoa.

Fats
Necessary for brain health and nutrient absorption. Healthy fats include avocados, nuts, seeds, coconut, and olive oil.

Why Balance Matters
Meals that combine all three macronutrients provide lasting energy, better satiety, and improved overall health.
