USING MYFITNESSPAL
To Track Your Nutrition
Key Takeaways from Video:
- Create an account in MyFitnessPal
- Set up your macros as close as possible (if using the free version) or exactly where you need them (paid version)
- Use their database and the search feature to search for foods based on brands
- You can send barcodes if needed, as well
- Plan ahead and lay out what you are going to eat in advance so that you are not scrambling to hit your macros at the end of the day
- Do not add exercise or activity to this app to avoid getting calories added to your intake
- Pay attention to ONLY your macros and not the calories that the app says you have remaining (your macros are your calories)
