First Day Counting Macros
Today starts a new week (I’m restarting every six weeks so this is Week 1) and my first day counting macros. I did some preliminary planning this weekend and realized that with what I had in-house, the first few days to a week wouldn’t be perfect but I’m okay with that for now. I already made a grocery list for the next grocery trip and am gonna be making all tha macro-friendly meals!
I did go over today — primarily with carbs 😭 they’re a weakness and I have to plan around them better. I’ll continue to track and show macro goals vs. macro reality for Week 1 😂 something I’m happy about is as I track macros and not calories, I’m actually far below calories than expected. Today I didn’t fully notice I was as hungry until the early evening hunger pangs at work. Luckily I had PB handy in case I got randomly hungry so the extra protein and fat were helpful for the commute home (shoutout to for the nutrition info on how fat can help me feel satiated) 👏🏾💪🏾
(Pictured is the nutrition info on the plant-based chick’n noodle soup I had for dinner. High in carb grams also… grocery list is gonna help here)
Macro Goals:
Protein grams target: 166g
Carbs grams target: 119g
Fat grams target: 84g
Macro Reality, Day 1:
Protein grams: 61g
Carbs grams: 225g
Fat grams: 61g
