Meal Planning

Struggle with Macros
I track both calories, and Macros (carb, protein, fats). However, try as I might, I cannot get a day of perfect match on all four! Does anyone else have the same problem, or better yet! Overcome the problem? I pre-plan three of my meals a week, and even on those days: no dice.
Macros for booty gains??

New to MFP
Hi. I’m new to the group. Trying this out for inspiration and new ideas.
Gousto or hello fresh integration
It would be great if there was a food box integration. Where it could sync up with the meals you had delivered that week from Gousto or HelloFresh. Also the breakdown of the items in it. Currently I’m just doing quick add and putting in the calories.

Hello MyFitnessPal Community! First Time User
Hello All: One week ago I started to change the way I eat. My plan: eat smaller portions and limit carbohydrates in particular.

Trying this again
Hi all! I'm going to attempt this weight losing journey once again. I feel like it's almost useless for me to even try. I don't eat because I'm hungry, I eat because I'm bored. Even though I have a ton of things to do, I can't seem to stop picking. If it's there...I eat it. Any suggestions how to overview this? I hope…
