If you have NO idea how to start tracking the macros you were given, start here:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For each of your 3 main meals enter into MFP:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅100g fruit or veggies
✅3-6oz carb of choice
✅4-6oz lean protein of choice (ensure you type in COOKED or RAW bc it makes a difference in macros)
✅fat source/topping of choice
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥳BOOM.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👏🏻Now you have somewhere to start.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then scroll down to the “nutrition” tab, click on the “nutrients” tab in the middle and see how many macros that takes up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤔Still have more to fill in?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😍Cool!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Start adding in snacks to reach the rest of your macros such as a protein smoothie or Greek yogurt/berries/cacao nibs
(yesss I’m obsessed after I said I didn’t like them the other day 😅).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe need less macros?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Change your portion sizes of the above until you reach your macros.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lastly, if you’re new to macros here the biggest game changer for actually seeing results:

(Please note the last photo that says those macros are too low for ANYONE, those are just the base for this example so ensure you’re going back in and increasing portion sizes or adding snacks to hit YOUR macros)
