Track and monitor dietary requirements by measuring and monitoring macros. Tailor a plan of consistency that suits individual needs and preferences. Establish non-negotiable daily habits such as hitting a minimum of 7,000 steps, consuming at least 80 ounces of water, and including fruits and vegetables in every meal. Start by tracking food intake to get into the habit without worrying too much about specific macro targets. Consider using an online macro calculator or seeking guidance from a coach to determine personalized macro goals.
