Hey there sunshine! As a personal trainer, everytime I turn around lately someone wants to know about tracking macros & healthy eating. This is honestly, one of my favorite topics to talk about and I always feel sorry for the poor individual that asks because I am so passionate about about it. Tracking your nutrients is a game changer and MyFitnessPal makes it oh-so-easy!
What Is MyFitnessPal (MFP)?
You know how fitness trackers are all the rave when it comes to keeping up with steps, sleep, heart rate, etc. Well, MyFitnessPal helps you track all things nutritional.
It figures basic macros for you based on your goals.
Contains over 5 million foods to choose from
1,000s of restaurant menus to thumb through
It allows you to manually add your own foods & amounts.
Barcode scanner so you can simply scan foods too!
It’s actually one of the most popular web-based fitness & exercise social media apps out there.
Oh, and if you link it to your fitness tracker, MFP will give you extra calories to consume for workouts well done!
Who doesn’t love being rewarded for their efforts?!
What Does It DO & How Does It Help ME?
So when you’re on the road with the kiddos and have to swing through their favorite fast-food joint, you can type in the name and chances are, their menu is there so you can make a mindful choice. You are now accountable and aware of what you’re fueling your body with. No more mindless munching. You are being responsible & accountable for your nutrition choices. Look at you being all grown!
For me, I track basically EVERYTHING! I weigh my food so that I have exact serving sizes and log it. LOL! Seriously, I could tell you almost everything I’ve eaten for the like last 3 years. It’s a way of life and I love it. I know when I’m deficient in something and can take the needed supplements or vitamins my body needs. It’s really amazing. I get to eat what I want, as long as it fits within my macros. The app sets up macros for you but I have certain goals and have to calculate my own, just like I do for my clients.
