Weekly Weight Check in & MacroFactor

The first week has gone great, I was able to go to the gym 5 days this week, and I consistently hit my goal of 2576 Calories and 142 grams of protein every day. I weighed in at 142 by the end of the week, which is 5 pounds more than what I had started at. A lot of that is water weight as it’s only my second week, but I’m happy with the progress so far.

I found this super cool app called MacroFactor and its made tracking my food really easy. I am even able to pre log my food days in advance to hold myself accountable. Here’s an example of where I did this for this week, because I knew what groceries I had bought and roughly what each of my meals was going to consist of for the rest of the week. You can see me copy pasting food from one day to another so I don’t have to add every item individually again.

Another useful thing the app does is create a customized diet program for you. You can choose to give all the control to the app, make a collaborative plan, or do it completely manually. Here’s an example of it making me an example program with specific macronutrient breakdowns.
