How many of you calculate your macros everyday?

[drew1129]

Just curious, because it gets really annoying and it's probably the hardest thing about bodybuilding.

I've actually used myfitnesspal. I've tried it on my phone and it seems kind of annoying, and weighing foods is a hassle. I was just curious to see how many people actually eat exact amounts of macros to hit their goals. Thanks though man

i think its easier to do on a comp personally... but yeah weighing your food takes time and patience... what this sport is built upon

with all that said yeah i weigh everything out measure everything... when your cutting you want everything to be exact... very tedious but in the end its all worth it

Why is weighing food so bad in your opinion then?

Yeah I know, I see some guys here that are 180 and they look huge :\
And you're right, but complaining makes you feel a little better about the situation.

- Forgetting to record
- Not knowing whether chicken breast is 4oz or 3oz
- Hard to measure cups of rice just from view

buy a food scale

Not annoying or hard at all, if you know what you're doing.


Yet I still don't count, nor do I care.

Buy a scale lol measuring my macro's without it would be a fukin hellllll for me.
Scale has only helped me ever since and i just write it down on a paper, fold it and keep it in my pocket all day. I don't like myfitnesspal

Where could I find one?
Do you think grocery stores, walmart, or something like that would have one?

The thing is sometimes I feel like I've ate 3,500 calories and I've only ate 2,600. I want more!

That's the exact reason I weigh every gram of food that enters my body. I want to make sure I'm making progress. The guessing game doesn't work for me.

My best piece of advice as far as on this question is to add banana's, peanut butter and OAT MEAL to your protein shakes.

I barely take protein shakes though, pound and a half of chicken breast over here

You want to bulk up right? Put some effort into it then by hitting your macros.

[sSmitty93]

Yup, every single day. Has become second nature.

Then.. eat more. Track as you go during the day, eat more calorie dense things.

I consume roughly 190g of protein, why would I need a protein shake to hit my macros?
