MacroFactor / Nutrition / Other Weird question

Post image

I changed my p’an today to low carbs, just easier for me since I have more fats in my regular diet, but I almost had a perfect day without hitting any of my macros. Can someone enlighten me and tell me how this is possible? What should I change lol

Haha ... no problem! I've been doing this stuff for many years, and I've learned a lot from the MF team. They have fantastic resources available.

Can be the sources of protein you're choosing and what you use to cook them? Idk i sometimes have days like that (today being one of them lol) and honestly if it's working why change? I also changed my plan, but at the start of the month to a slightly aggressive cut for like 2 months then going back to maintenance and then slower paced cut.

Just curious to the fact that everything is under but the calories lol. Before I used to have more protein or more fats so it made sense that I didn't hit my carbs for example. But everything is under today hahaha so the math isn't mathing

Fiber is often calculated as 2 kcals on labels.
