Macros are the bane of my existence
After finally hunkering down and keeping track of calories I gotta say I’m a little disappointed in how some of the stuff I thought would be relatively healthy is actually really terrible for me! Calorie deficit isn’t as hard as I thought it would be but not eating stuff really high in fat is a challenge. I also keep accidentally going over my protein goal in myfitnesspal.
Does anyone have any tips of how to better balance out macros? I’m really new and am trying to substitute certain things for zero sugar, low cal or low fat. I do love the activia low fat yogurt and switched out regular bread for pita so sandwiches are only like 250 cals!! Thats about as far as I’ve gotten lol. Oh and quest chips are great.
Also is it detrimental for weight loss to go over your calorie amount for the day by like 200 if the day before or day after you’re below the limit? Im trying to stay positive if the calorie and macro amount isn't perfect because I just started and it’s about the journey or lifestyle long term but I don’t want to be making excuses.
