ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
Do not track exercise activity in MyFitnessPal. This will change your daily macros. Tracking exercise in fitness tracking device, like a Fitbit is a great way to monitor progress, but for our purposes MyFitnessPal will only be used for tracking food and water.
Be sure to correctly track SERVING SIZE. It is helpful to serve your food in stainless steel measuring cups and spoons to ensure proper quantity tracking.
Be honest. Remember progress is not always linear, and I am here to help! If you don’t hit your macros perfectly, that’s okay! We are in this together and I will help you to find a good balance that you feel satisfied and comfortable with. An honest accurate picture of your dietary habits, helps me to you help you.
To see daily summary of macros, turn phone sideways when viewing diary. Be sure to disable rotation lock!
