It takes some time to add all your regular meals but it’s the only way to ensure the entries are accurate and are totally me-focused. I also know what snack options I have for that mid-afternoon hangry moment and remove the risk of consuming my total fat allowance before I get home. I plan to do this 5 to 7 days in advance so we all know what’s on the menu for tea and we can make sure we have the right supplies. The targets are included and there is a separate section that shows how your weekly accuracy is coming along. I then wanted to be able to select from this list, adjusting portions as required and then slot in assorted snack options until I hit my macro targets on the nose. What I wanted to do was have a list of my regular meals and snack options with notes on portion sizes. I set too and created the spreadsheet that meets my macro meal planner needs and thought I’d share it with you all, in case you share my macro jigsaw dilemmas.ĭownload the weekly macro planning template here (Google Sheets). That sounds like a spreadsheet project to me. A macro meal planner that enabled me to juggle my repertoire of meals and snacks so that I could create a semi-balanced and desirable macro plan. What I needed was a forward planning device. None of the family were terribly keen to join me and I can’t claim to have enjoyed my fueling. This weekend I announced that I had only protein left in my allowance and therefore was going to have a sea bass fillet and a lean chicken breast for tea. I’ve got myself into a reasonably consistent habit for breakfast and lunch but I leave all the macro mathematics for when I get home and am left trying to fathom out how to feed the family with something that could be considered appetising but still meets whatever macro jigsaw piece I have left Admittedly it falls under the category of “first world problems” but still a stress that’s worth eradicating if I can. I’ve been tracking my macros consistently for the last 5 weeks or so and it is still a stressful experience.
