I have been lifting for about a year now, but I am still learning every day! I have decided to try and count macros to try and lose some fat this summer so my new muscles can be seen! Does anyone count macros or have any tips/foods that work well during a cut? Also, I am new so add me as a friend! I want to journey with some friends!

I like to follow these recommendations for macros by grams per lean body mass (or per goal weight).
Protein: 0.8 to 1g
Fats: 0.35 to 0.6g
Carbs: The rest
Keep in mind these are minimums and can be adjusted to personal preference.
For cutting I prefer the flexible dieting approach. So in terms of foods, I would hit your macros mostly with nutrient dense foods you like and keep you satiated, then you can add a few treats (not so nutrient dense items) as you please.

I did for a while. It's hard to kick start your habits but works wonder. One of the most useful food: peanut butter in powder with added proteins. Super useful for a filling snack and upping your proteins without the fat
