To track my calories, I am using MacroFactor. MacroFactor is a smart nutrition app that personalizes your diet plan based on your metabolism. It helps you track food and adjust your macros for sustainable results. It was created by Jeff Nippard.
Out of all the apps this has been my favorite calorie tracking app.
The algorithm used by MacroFactor gave me 1987 calories but I’m bumping it up to 2000 calories. I just like even numbers.
Realistically you do not need an app to track your food if you are eating the same meals every day. But for the 90 days I want to document the whole process.
Now the meals are not Michelin-star meals. That’s because I want to make meals that take me at most 20 minutes.
Is this ideal and sustainable? Absolutely not. However, once I move back home with my family, I’m getting a private chef to cook meals for me based on my macros.
But this should hold it down until the 90 days are over.

These will be updated once I use the MacroFactor app to calculate the actual food I use and the correct amount of calories.
This will be a guideline. I’m going to try to follow it as much as I can and will try not to be too strict, as I do want to be social and go on dates with my significant other. All those meals will be tracked.
