Step 1: Set your personal Goal

Before you dive into logging your meals, start by setting your goal. When you sign-up up, MacrosFirst will ask you a few questions to craft your custom daily nutrition goal. This includes your macronutrient targets, calories, and other objectives tailored to your needs.

If you ever need to update or recalculate your daily goal, here’s how:

Step 2: Log your first meal!

Logging your meals and snacks is a breeze and forms the foundation of your MacrosFirst experience. Our food database is your go-to tool for finding and logging individual foods, meals, or recipes. The barcode scanner and AI-based image search options make it even easier - seriously, you’ll be shocked at how fast it is.

Start a food search from the search field, barcode scan button, or by tapping the + button at the bottom of the screen.

Then, once you’ve found your food, update the serving size to match the portion you’re logging

Finally, tap the Log Food button to add this to your Daily Log.

Or you want to add more foods, simply tap the blue Add button to continue searching or scanning the barcode for the rest of your meal.

Whether it’s a quick snack or a full-course meal, you’ll find it easy to keep track of your foods. If you run into anything confusing, please check out this more detailed food logging article or our FAQs.

Pro Tip: Did you know that you can save a group of logged foods as a custom meal so that you can easily track it again?

That’s right - you can save every ingredient to your protein smoothie or yummy salad as custom meal.

Step 3: Personalizing Your Daily Log

Make your daily log truly yours! With a few simple tweaks, you can:

• Rename meals to better reflect your eating habits.

• Reorder meals to match your daily routine.

• Add new meals beyond the default Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snack settings.

• Display additional nutrients to track specific dietary needs.

Reviewing Your Progress
