In order to build your perfect diet plan, you must first decide what your goals are. Are you looking to just lose weight? Are you looking to gain more muscle? Your final goal will influence your eating plan and how many macros you will require each day. Once you have your goals in mind, the next chapter will show you how to calculate the proper amount of calories and macronutrients that you should be eating each day. With your macronutrient amounts calculated, you can then create your eating plan, including what times you should eat and what your meals should consist of. Proper planning is key to success on the macronutrient diet.
