Sometimes we know the macros of a particular food item and it would be so much faster to just manually add the macros instead of having to look up an entry in the MyFitnessPal database.

Planning ahead is key to success in many situations, whether it be training, traveling, nutrition, work or simply life in general.

This week on WAG Q&As, we're going to be answering some common questions that were asked by members of our Facebook groups who want some help with their nutrition.

Taking the time to prepare meals can seem like an arduous task, and it’s often the last thing we feel like doing on our weekend.

One of the absolute best features of the premium MyFitnessPal account is that you can set specific macronutrients, rather than just aiming for a ballpark percentage like with the free version of the app.

The foundation of Working Against Gravity’s nutrition coaching is tracking macros. From there, we coach you to create better eating and lifestyle habits.

Eating the same meal day in and day out makes for simple meal prep but can leave you wanting more variety. There are easy, low macro ways to change the flavor profile of your food without needing to change your entire routine.

Traveling, while fun and exciting, can also present some frustrations, challenges, and patience testers!

When we operate from a place of gratefulness we develop the ability to be satisfied in moderation. Just think of a food item that you enjoy.

Schedule restraints, limited food choices, and unknown quantities are all common occurrences when you attend a conference, making the thought of traveling and tracking seem daunting.

With the MFP Premium version, you can set custom macros for different days. So, if you have lower and higher carb days for example, you can pre-set MyFitnessPal!
