Ignorant about Marcos

Can someone help me with this one. I have never heard of "keeping your macros" in check before these boards. Is this only for lifters? What are the benefits of "keeping your macros in check"? and how I can figure out my 'formula'?

Many thanks for educating me.. based on some reading I have done, it seems that my family's diet is somewhat in tune with this, but I don't understand how to properly track all of this...

It's mostly to make sure you get your macro and micro nutrients. A lot of people, me included, subscribe to the idea of eating what you want as long as it fits your calories and macros.

This explains how to set both ( you can override MFP settings) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/819055-setting-your-calorie-and-macro-targets?hl=how+to+set+your+macros
