It's definitely important to keep an eye on macro-nutrient consumption. Adhering to different macro ratios can program your body's metabolism. What's even more important is the quality of the macros you are eating. There is lots of information online about what's healthy and what's not, and most of it is supported by the literature. When choosing foods, we have to be food label detectives. Basically, diet can cause the expression of desirable genes in our DNA. Most of our DNA is not being used at any time, so it all comes down to creating an environment that expresses certain genes.
