Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock that contains large (greater than two millimeters in diameter) rounded particles. The space between the pebbles is generally filled with smaller particles and/or a chemical cement that binds the rock together.

The rounded clasts of conglomerate can be mineral particles such as quartz, or they can be sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rock fragments. The matrix that binds the large clasts together can be a mixture of sand, mud, and chemical cement.

Conglomerate (/kənˈɡlɒmərɪt/) is a clastic sedimentary rock that is composed of a substantial fraction of rounded to subangular gravel-size clasts.

Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock made of rounded pebbles and sand that is usually held together (cemented) by silica, calcite or iron oxide. It is a stone similar to sandstone but the rock particles are rounded or angular gravel rather than sand.

Clastic sediments or sedimentary rocks are classified based on grain size, clast and cementing material (matrix) composition, and texture. Grain size varies from clay in shales and claystones; through silt in siltstones; sand in sandstones; and gravel, cobble, to boulder sized fragments in conglomerates and breccias.

Important Nutrients to Know: Proteins, Carbohydrates, and Fats.

Carbohydrates are necessary for a healthy body. Carbs fuel your body, especially your central nervous system and brain, and protect against disease, according to the Mayo Clinic. Carbohydrates should make up 45 to 65 percent of your total daily calories, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans .

The “big 3” macronutrients (macros) are fats, carbohydrates and protein. When eaten in the right ratios, these three macronutrients can improve your weight, health and overall physical well-being. In general, most adults should target their diets to comprise of 45-65% Carbohydrates, 10-35% Protein and 20-35% Fat.

Protein. Proteins are the building blocks of your body. Pretty much all lean (non-fat) tissue in your body is comprised of protein, therefore it is the most important macronutrient.

The acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges (AMDR) are 45–65% of your daily calories from carbs, 20–35% from fats and 10–35% from protein. To lose weight, find a ratio you can stick with, focus on healthy foods and eat fewer calories than you burn.

The right ratio of macro-, micro- and phytonutrients Protein: 10 to 35% of the total kCal. Carbohydrates: 45 to 65% of the total kCal (focus on complex carbohydrates) Fats: 20 to 35% of the total kCal (focus on unsaturated fats)

For people who want or need breakfast, she recommends eating a protein- and fat-based meal within one hour of waking up. “Choose lower-glycemic carbs in the morning such as non-starchy veggies, berries, herbs, or citrus,” Swick added.

• Whole-grain bread with protein.
• Loaded old-fashioned oatmeal.
• Whole grain cereal with fruit.
• Homemade breakfast sandwich.

The following sample meal plan provides roughly 45 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per meal and 15-30 grams of carbohydrates per snack. Breakfast: 3 eggs with two slices of whole grain toast (30g carbohydrate), lettuce, tomato. 1 small piece of fruit (15 g carbohydrate)
