I'm also having a tough time hitting my macros/calories a day
Roughly:
Yesterday: 1670 cal/187.7 protein/152 carbs/38.7 fat
Today: 1590 cal/185.3 protein/145.2 carbs/38.7 fat
I'm supposed to be getting 2,500 cals a day according to what you've told me... What should I do?
Also for weighing food like chicken do I go by precooked # or weigh after it's cooked?
Thanks
For the macros, you are going to need to find a creative way to increase your total calories on workout days. You can either try to snack on things throughout the day, or start increasing your overall food quantity at meals. Try throwing in some nuts and/or nut butter, as this will give you an easy bump in calories. Beyond that, you can also try to snack on sliced meats and cheese, beef jerky, hard boiled eggs, granola bars, veggies with olive oil (seasoning as well if you like), or even some whole grain cereal with milk. On a side note about milk, if you are good with lactose, you can also use that to fill in calorie gaps, as it's relatively inexpensive and contains a good ratio of carbs/fats. (Get whole milk if you do)
You weight the chicken AFTER cooking.
