What are some of your go to foods when you try to balance your macros? In other words whta foods do you stock up on so if at the end of the day you're short on protein you can eat it to bump that level (for all three macros). Thanks.

    Greek yogurt, usually plain. High in protein, and you can add fruit, sugar or PB to it if you need extra fat or carb
    (Edited for peanut butter!)

    Greek yoghurt, tinned tuna, whey protein powder, homemade protein bars. Protein is the main one I have to work hard to hit. I'm rarely low on carbs or fat, but if I am low on fats, I'll have nuts or spoonfuls of nut butter.

    If I just need to hit one macro without changing the others much I typically have available:

    For protein: protein powder, chicken breasts, tinned fish occasionally.
    Fat: Nuts, seeds, nut butters, oils.
    Eggs if I need protein and fat.
    Carbs: Rice/rice cakes, cornflakes.

    I agree. Protein is the one I'm usually chasing. Chicken, protein shake, egg whites are my usual go tos. In my country we have this mature smelly cheese that has 30g protein in 100g and only 125cals for 100g! It's rather high in sodium but I don't really watch my sodium that much and it's yummy. I was lucky to find it!

    For fats I would usually turn to sunflower seeds, almonds, avocado if I have it
