    Hi,

    Can anyone recommend a few sources for good macro guides.

    I'm not sure I want to track absolutely everything I eat into an app, at the start but I would like to work out my Macro requirements and plan my meals out for the week.

    I've come across a lot of websites and some of them contradict each other, so any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Everything you eat has macros so if you want to track your macros, you have to track what you eat. You just don't necessarily have to get bogged down in the other info, though it helps.

    Obviously, MyFitnessPal helps make it easy. Gives you all of the macros. Cronometer too, though less ease of entry than MFP (eg bar code scanner).

    I think eatthismuch gives you sample meals to hit the macros as well.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Is there any site or app that will let you enter in your details and goals to give you your intended macro breakdown?

    This should do the trick
    https://ss.fitness/calculators

    The rest of that site is well worth a read as well

    There's no such thing as an intended macro breakdown.
    One calculator could work to 40/40/20, and another to low carb, high protein.
    Neither is more valid than the other. You kinda need to know what you're after to find your breakdown
