Macro tracking

I’m using Lifesum with the High Protein diet. What’s your strategy?

I’m trying the subscription out, but will probably revert to just free tracking soon. Agreed that exercise calculations are super rough — you need a fitness watch to be more accurate

My strategy is: stay at net zero calories (eat when I burn every week) and eat as much protein as I can. So I end up prioritizing foods with high protein and low calories (tuna, chicken breast, some non fat Greek yogurt). The hardest part for me is precisely calculating how many calories I burn a day. All the online calculators are pretty rough estimates 🤷🏻‍♀️

Interesting. I’ve never heard of lifesum. Do you pay subscription?

Jacklyn

I'm so curious! send screenshots of lifesum

Jason M

It’s more than I need but the pushes are well done which is what I am finding interesting

Jacklyn

when do they push you? standard meal times?

Jacklyn

and are they all utility-focused (don't forget to track your dinner)?

Jacklyn

or do they also have motivational ones?
