Hopefully most of you are finding your groove on managing your macros. The challenging part about doing a macro-based diet though can often be getting into so good of a groove that you become stagnant in what you're eating, and/or having a fear of going out to eat.

A huge benefit of doing a macro-based approach though is that you are not stuck into eliminating certain foods or food groups. While it is highly beneficial to eat the majority of your calories from whole foods, it is equally as helpful to be able to look at foods like cereal, bread, pasta, etc, and understand that they can still have a place in your daily/weekly diet.

If you're not starting to analyze the data on Nutrition Labels, you can see a lot of foods that you may have demonized, can now easily fit without having to completely rewrite the script of your day. The Instagram share is a great example of how you can turn nearly any meal you want into a macro friendly choice with a few adjustments.

...you also may notice that some foods that you thought were healthy, may actually be the opposite, and you really have to carve out the detail to fit them in now (nuts and nut butters, protein bars, salmon, steak, etc)

Action Items

What foods have you eaten that fit better into your macros than you thought?
What's been a favorite dish of yours that you didn't think would fit your macros?
What foods are you surprised that you're having a hard time now fitting in?
