30 Seconds SummaryHow to Track Macros When Eating Out
- Flexible dieting allows for eating out; knowing how strictly to track macros depends on your specific goals.
- Identify your dieting level from 1 (least strict, e.g., lean bulking) to 5 (most strict, e.g., close to a show or shoot).
- Utilize online nutrition data and pre-pick your menu choices to stay within your macro goals.
- Adjust your daily intake anticipating restaurant meals by saving carbs and fats for the meal out.
- Request modifications at restaurants, such as dressing on the side or no added oils, to better estimate macro intake.
- When uncertain about dish contents, opt for simple meals like a steak with a side salad to ease macro tracking.
- Consider scheduling restaurant meals on re-feed days when your macro budget is more lenient.
- Decide between consuming food or alcohol at outings, as mixing both can rapidly increase calorie intake.
- Enjoy your meals out without overindulging or stressing about perfect macro tracking to stay true to the principle of flexible dieting.
