Tracking Macronutrients - getting a handle on nutrition
I was able to really get a handle on my nutrition and my lean muscle content when I started to track Macronutrients. I used to use free apps, that didn't have an emphasis on tracking macros and DIDN"T give me access to an advisor which is helpful!
When you are trying to loose weight and fat you want to focus on these 4 things:
1. Calories (within your deficit)
2. Protein (1G per pound of goal body weight)
3. 100 OZ water daily
4. 45 Mins movement daily (6X a week).
I've been using an app for the past 2 years with a lot of added value - barcode scanner/recipe builder, emphasis on macro tracking, 15+ workout programs and my own personal advisor who is a certified personal trainer who gives advice each and every week. Since going this route and focusing on the above I've seen results and lasting ones at that.
"free" is not always best. Also, what you can track you can manage!
