When it comes to nutrition, consistency beats perfection. Most people get stuck trying to hit their macros perfectly every single day… but that’s not how real life works. Here’s the smarter way: think in weeks, not days. 🔑 Best Practices for Macro Tracking 1. Track in Grams, Not Just “Portions” - Use a food scale whenever possible. - “1 cup of rice” can vary by 20–30g depending on who scoops it. Grams = accuracy. 2. Cooked vs. Raw – Pick One & Stay Consistent - Meat and rice, for example, weigh differently before vs after cooking. - The key isn’t which you choose — it’s choosing one method and sticking to it so your data is consistent. 3. Focus on the Weekly Average, Not the Daily Fluctuations - Some days you’ll go over, some days under. That’s normal. - What matters is where your weekly average lands. That’s what drives fat loss or muscle gain. 4. Don’t Stress the Small Swings - Sodium, digestion, and water retention will cause weight ups and downs. - Use your weekly average weight + macro compliance to judge progress, not daily scale numbers. 📝 The Spreadsheet Method I’ve created a spreadsheet where you’ll log your macros daily. At the end of the week, it shows your average intake compared to your targets. This way, you’ll see the truth — not just one “good” or “bad” day. After our 1 on 1 consultation I will set your macros for your specific goal and help you make adjustments weekly depending on how we're progressing in relation to our goal. 🚀 Action Step This week, focus on: 1. Tracking in grams. 2. Being consistent with cooked or raw. 3. Looking at weekly averages instead of stressing daily numbers.
