Is MyFitnessPal accurate for tracking macros, especially when it tells me to increase my protein intake after training? I aim for 160 g of protein, 157 g of carbs, and 60 g of fat, but it brought my protein goal to 225 g after training. I'm not sure if my macro targets are correct. I want to get leaner without losing strength, and I strength train 4-5 times a week for 50-minute sessions while trying to get 10,000 steps a day. I also have one active rest day and one full rest day on weekends.
How does someone start tracking macros?
I want to get leaner but not lose my strength. I strength train 4-5 times a week for 50-minute sessions and try to get 10,000 steps a day (I work a desk job). On the weekends, I stick to one active rest day and one full rest day. I started tracking my macros on MyFitnessPal because I know I was never hitting my protein intake. My question is, is MyFitnessPal accurate? It tells me to increase my macros when I train. For example, I try to get 160 g of protein, 157 g of carbs, and 60 g of fat, but after training, it brought my protein goal to 225 g. Not even sure if my macros are right but would love to hear your thoughts on this.
