My custom program numbers and most provided custom counts will already account for your daily energy expenditure (aka your activity and workouts) in the mathematical equation used to calculate your macros.

The Protein, Fats and Carbs are in there! Another way to track is to scroll to the bottom of your main page and click “NUTRITION” with the pie chart icon on it. You will see protein, fat and carbs there. First way to see It is to turn the app sideways to landscape view and scroll to the bottom to TOTALS. NOTE: For those with the free version: You will be watching your percentages on a secondary page. Select Calorie, Carbs, Protein and Fat GoalsĪdd in your Target calories provided and adjust percentages until the grams next to “Carbohydrates’, Protein and Fat” are accurate If you have upgraded to premium, you can make Macronutrients your main page setting the custom dashboard to “Macronutrients Focused”.Ĭlick the Yellow Crown in the top right corner to see the settings menuĬlick “… MORE” in the bottom right corner to bring up the settings menu If you don’t already know what your target macro goals are, I sell custom macro counts and programs here. Step One: Input Your Custom Macrosįirst thing to do in the app, is to set your macros. I’m going to walk you through how to set up your MFP app and account so that you can get started tracking ASAP.

but if you want simplicity and to not complicate and already complicated learning curve you may want to upgrade at some point! YOU CAN absolutely use another app like My Macros+, a notebook, or the free version of MFP etc. It gives you the ability to clearly put your macros on the top of your main page and plan your day out. While I realize the premium version of the app costs money, it is MUCH easier and clearer to use in my opinion for a beginner.

MyFitnessPal (or MFP) is my app of choice (although there are many options), I just feel that this ease of use and the size of the database is the best option. Macro counting as a lifestyle requires that you have an app to track all of your meal intake throughout the day.
