How I track macros when eating out!

How I track macros when eating out!

I get asked often, how do you track when eating out? So here is my answer!

1) if it is a chain restaurant, look up the macros! Almost all large chain restaurants will have the macros listed on the website. You might have to add and subtract a little, but logging something is always better than logging nothing.

2) If it is a small restaurant without nutritional info, do your best and deconstruct the meal to log. This is what I had to do here. Focus on the big ticket items. Large sources of protein, equivalent, sauces, and don’t forget the hidden fats, like the butter they added to my toast and pancakes. Again logging something is better than nothing.

When eating in a caloric deficit eating is HARD. Your calories and macros are always going to be much higher due to the added fats they use to make your food taste so good! But it is possible to enjoy the foods you love out and balance out your macros for the rest of the day! It does take a little planning on your part!

In total this delicious meal (I do not regret a single bite) came to:
1482 calories
66g protein
80g fat
122g carbs

With smart choices the rest of the day I ended at:
1820 calories
108g protein
90g fat
142g carbs
