STEP THREE
DON'T FORGET THESE 3 KEY TRACKING POINTS
1: What’s more important to stay within daily? The Total Calories or the Macros?
Step 3 above explains this. Your foremost most important goal is to stay within range of your calorie targets. This is the key driver for fat loss and getting lean.Secondary to that, it's focusing on hitting your protein intake for things like muscle tone, recovery and feeling full. If you’re 'over'on fats, and down on carbs but fine on Protein for example. This is fine. Don’t sweat these small details. Your main focus is calories first, protein second.
2: Do I need to track everything?
Anything with Calories in it, to start with, yes. Over time you'll learn how to eye-ball foods so won't need to do this long-term.Anything under 10-Calories per teaspoon, there's no need to trackit. The same goes for any ‘ZERO’ calorie drinks or sauces, no need to track those.
