How often are you lifting and that most of your exercise or do you also do a significant amount of cardio? What are your goals?0

we need a lot more information... height, weight, age, workout routine, caloric intake, any medical issues?
But as a generally setting, 40c/30p/30f is good.0 -
You might check out IIFYM. It's similar to MFP, but with a lot more emphasis on macros.0

I am lifting 3 times a week with only 1 day of light cardio on a off day. I am 121lbs, 5'3, female. Looking to change my skinny fat body to a more fit tone body. Heard great things about heavy lifting and have enjoyed it so far. I am just very unsure about macros.0

are you currently losing weight or maintaining?0
