FAQ

How do I determine my macro targets?

Your macro targets depend on your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), activity level, and specific fitness goals such as muscle gain or fat loss. Consult with a nutritionist or use a verified online calculator to establish your baseline.

Should I track raw or cooked food weights?

It is generally more accurate to weigh food raw, as the water content in cooked food can vary significantly depending on the cooking method.

What should I do if I miss a macro target for one meal?

Do not worry about a single meal. Focus on your total intake for the entire day. If you are significantly under or over, adjust your final snack of the day to balance your totals.
