Fast Five: Logging Macros

On last weeks episode I covered meal prep. This week I dive a bit further into the actual logging and my tips for navigating those dang trackers.

To summarize:
1- Plan out and log your day the night before or morning of. It’s so much easier and much less to think about when you set a game plan for the day with your meals and snacks, so your only job is to execute and eat all da foods!
2- Logging raw versus cooked. Pick one and be consistent. I do realize food volume and weight changes when cooked BUT for the vast majority, the pure habit of mindfulness, intentional eating, and logging will be enough to produce some amazing results. I personally have always weighed cooked. I don’t want to fuss with raw meat more than I need to and it’s easier when cooking it bulk. Don’t sweat the small details in the begging. Consistency is most important.
3- Remove your fitness trackers. I know it’s super cool when all our devices talk to one another BUT when your fitness tracker starts adjusting your calories based on steps and other activity, it can easily throw you off or confuse you.
4- Double check the items you are selecting from MFP when searching manually. 99.9% of the time, items with a barcode will scan in correctly but Items searched from the database can be slightly inaccurate causing your calorie and macro totals to not match up.
5- Make life easy and stick to similar foods throughout the week. After you ideally do your prep, log those meals into your tracker so you can easily drag and drop throughout the week. If you’re unsure how to log a recipe in MFP- you know I have a YouTube for that!
