[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Join the FB group Macros Inc. They check your macros and you'll be in a community to get free help on macros. They offer a paid coaching service but it's not necessary. 
Counting macros is intense and time-consuming. To do it right you need to weigh EVERYTHING you eat, (preferably in grams). You don't necessarily need to meal prep but it helps.

OP, what is your goal? Weight loss, health, building muscle?

I've been doing macros for a few months and while I don't plan to live this way forever, seeing my nutrition macros has been eye-opening. I'm older and trying to lose some weight and build strength so I really need to focus on protein. Macros Inc is very "pro" carb so my diet is much more balanced than when I tried to do low carb.

I don't eat a lot of fruit except berries. I do eat A LOT of veggies.

I've lost roughly 1 lb per week doing Macros because I'm on a calorie deficit and being diligent.  I lost less than one lb a week when just trying to do a calorie deficit. Try it and see.[/quote]

What are your percentages?

On FatSecret they are rec 50-carb/20 protein/30 fat[/quote]
