Micronutrients vs Macronutrients: Why You Shouldn’t Have to Choose

When it comes to fuelling your body, most people focus on macronutrients — protein, carbohydrates, and fats. And for good reason. Macronutrients are the big hitters: they give us energy, support muscle growth, and power performance.

But there’s a quiet force behind every well-functioning body that often gets overlooked: micronutrients.

At Entofoods, we believe that good nutrition doesn’t need to be a trade-off. That’s why our cricket protein blend delivers both — clean, complete protein to fuel your training, and a rich source of micronutrients to keep your body functioning at its best.

🧬 Macronutrients: The Basics

Macronutrients are needed in large amounts to support everyday activity. They include:

- Protein: essential for muscle repair, immune function, and hormone production

- Carbohydrates: your body’s primary source of energy

- Fats: support cell structure, brain health, and long-term energy storage

For climbers and active individuals, protein is especially important. That’s why many turn to supplements. But most traditional protein powders — like whey or plant-based options — are missing something crucial.

🌿 The Micronutrient Gap

Micronutrients are the vitamins and minerals your body needs in smaller amounts — but they play massive roles in your health.

They regulate everything from:

- Energy metabolism

- Bone strength

- Oxygen transport

- Immune response

- Mental clarity and focus

Yet, despite their importance, many people are unknowingly deficient in key micronutrients like iron, vitamin B12, and zinc — especially those on restricted or plant-based diets.

🦗 Enter Entofoods: The Best of Both Worlds

With Entofoods' cricket protein blend, you no longer have to choose between getting your macros and covering your micros. You get both — in a single, sustainable scoop.

Here’s what sets it apart:

✅ Complete Protein

Our blend provides all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source — perfect for recovery, strength, and performance.

🩸 Micronutrient-Rich

Crickets are naturally high in:

- Vitamin B12 – supports energy, brain health, and red blood cell production

- Iron – essential for oxygen transport and stamina

- Zinc – boosts immunity and supports recovery

- Calcium – maintains strong bones and muscular function

These nutrients come directly from the crickets themselves — no synthetic additives or fillers required.

🌍 Why It Matters for Climbers & Active Lifestyles

When you're halfway up a wall or recovering after a training session, you need more than just protein. Your body demands full-spectrum nutrition to repair tissue, restore energy, and keep your systems firing on all cylinders.

With Entofoods, you’re fuelling for:

- Strength and endurance (thanks to the macros)

- Resilience and recovery (thanks to the micros)

- Long-term performance (thanks to the sustainability)

And because our blend is dairy-free, easy to digest, and eco-conscious, you’re making a choice that supports both your health and the planet.

🔁 Rethink Your Fuel: Macros + Micros = True Performance

The truth is, micronutrients are just as important as macronutrients — and maybe even more so when it comes to sustained performance, cognitive function, and recovery.

Most supplements force you to focus on one or the other.
Entofoods lets you have both.

So next time you refuel, don’t just count your protein grams.
Count the things that really keep your body climbing strong, thinking sharp, and bouncing back faster.
