Tracking Macros

macrofactor is prolly the best imo.

biggest tip is be honest and if it goes in the mouth, it goes on the log.

I may bite the bullet and pay for it for the barcode feature.

I think there's a hack to get it free. If you set your location as UK in the app it is (or was a few months ago) free.


Fat Secret has a free barcode as well but their database isn't that big.

Whatever you choose be accurate and know your goals. I like the TDEE calculators online.
Track even the milk in your coffee

I use Avatar Nutrition to track mine. Here are a few tips.

1. Try to eat the same few things for most of your day and get your protein in early. I rotate chicken and tilapia fixed various ways in the air fryer.

2. If you don’t get hungry in the morning skip breakfast. This allows to to have more macros in your evenings.

3. I view lunch as more of my utility meal. Lean with a lot of protein. I view supper as my meal to enjoy. You can usually eat what you want but not as much as you want.

3. I leave room for a snack before bed. Usually cereal. This way if my daughter decides to make cookies I can substitute it for the cereal.

4. You’ll probably need to use protein powder to hit your protein goals but don’t go overboard on it because it’s not as filling as normal food.

Again, the beauty of macro tracking is nothing is off limits. If it fits it fits.

Solid advice
