As I’m wandering down this journey (again) and learning from new mistakes each month, the question I keep asking myself is “how important is it to be in alignment with my macro goals?” I have realized that regardless of what the scale or online calculators or FitBit says, my maintenance is more like 1900-2000 cal and I’m not burning 2500 as a TDEE and Fitbit suggests. If I eat 1700 or under I can keep a weight loss pace of 1lbs per week. Perfect. It’s slow but consistent. I’ve got my macro % set in MFP and sometimes go over one or another. If I overdue fats in a day, I try to keep the carbs down and I always try for as much protein as possible. I eat everything but in reasonable portions and I do try to keep things balanced for the most part. I eat ice cream, cheese, homemade desserts, homemade bread, lots of meat… as long as I don’t overdue the calories I keep losing. So my question to you guys on a long journey; how focused do you monitor your macros vs overall calories?
