Macros Question

TristaOnTrack

I've decided to give tracking macros a try. My question is, are you supposed to use up all your macros?

Yes - it's effectively the same as eating all your calories.

Some people will say that you need to worry about hitting protein and fat minimums, then fill in the rest of your calorie allowance however you like. That would probably make life easier for you, especially if you're just starting to track macros.
