How long do you usually wait before you tweak it?

How long did it take you to figure out your perfect balance?

    It took a bit to figure out what foods made me hungrier and what was satisfying. I found higher protein more satisfying. Mine kind of naturally balanced out after a month or so. At first I didnt even worry about macros just tracking 100% and sticking to my calorie goal. Now im at P 180 C 240 F 80

    I followed the MFP baseline macros when I first started, so for a few months. Then when my goals changed to muscle building I followed the advice from this thread.

    It took some time to adjust my macros to suit me, and to be honest I still tweak them depending on my calorie intake, how I feel, my goals, etc.
