Macros 101: What Office Workers Actually Need

Macronutrients — protein, carbohydrates and fat — sound like gym jargon, but they matter just as much for someone doing back-to-back Zoom calls as they do for an athlete.

For most office workers, the biggest lever is protein at lunch. A meal with at least 25-30g of protein keeps you full past the 3pm slump and reduces the urge to reach for sugary snacks.

Carbohydrates aren't the enemy either — your brain runs on glucose. The key is choosing slow-releasing sources like brown rice, quinoa and whole grains over refined white rice or pastries, which spike and crash your energy.

Every bowl on our menu lists its full macro breakdown for exactly this reason: so you can match your meal to your afternoon, not just your appetite.
