EATING HEALTHY HAS NEVER TASTED SO GOOD!
FEED THE WHOLE FAMILY AND HIT YOUR FITNESS GOALS!
Our Story:
Hi, I’m Elyse! I’m a mom of four, a wife, a Diet Coke fanatic, and I LOVE food. I spent 10 years building one of the most popular food blogs on the internet. During that time I developed a pretty unhealthy relationship with food. Most of the recipes I had created were focused on what I could quickly throw in a Crock-Pot, with almost no thought for nutrition. Food also became a form of “self medication” to deal with the stresses of every day life. Before long, my husband and I didn’t even recognize ourselves, and worst of all, we just didn’t feel well. It became difficult to do some of the things we loved to do and it kept us from being as active with our kids as we wanted to be.
Until, about 7 years ago we decided it was time to take control of our health. We tried just about every type of diet out there, and we got trapped in the “yo-yo diet” cycle. We’d essentially starve ourselves (or cut out an entire food group), do a ton of cardio, lose a little weight, hit our mental & physical limit and put all of the weight back on.
One day, we discovered “macros” and it changed our lives. Tracking “macros is a way of measuring your nutrition by macronutrients (protein, carbs, and fat). It allows you to eat anything you want that you can fit into your macro goals. Finally, a lifestyle change we could stick to and get results without feeling totally deprived.
But as we got started, there was a problem: it was almost impossible to find good macro-friendly recipes. It was either flavorless, plain chicken and veggies, heaps of cottage cheese, and TONS of egg whites OR going back to the cream of chicken soup-type recipes that got us into this mess. So, I started to focus my love of recipe creation on easy, delicious, macro-friendly recipes that my whole family would enjoy.
And voila, we started to see real results and best of all we didn’t feel deprived! Combined, we’ve lost over 100 pounds! Now, we feel great. We still have treats, we haven’t given up the foods we love, and we definitely don’t starve ourselves! With macros, it’s all about balance. Now we’re in the best shape of our lives.
Now I’m sharing these recipes to help you feed your family AND hit your fitness goals!

TOP FAQs:
HOW DO I FIGURE OUT MY MACROS?
We don’t claim to be dietitians or fitness experts. Our goal is to be the top resource for easy, delicious macro-friendly recipes to help you on your journey. However, we have been at this for a while now and have learned a thing or two about macros and what has worked for us.
We now have a free calculator that will help you determine your estimated daily calories and macros. The calculator uses widely accepted methods for determining calories and macros, but it is just an estimate based on the information you provide. There are other factors (like body fat %, body type, health/medical issues, etc) that should be considered and we recommend consulting a registered dietitian or nutrition coach to help you fine tune your macros. That being said, this calculator and the information provided should be enough to get you started on your macros journey and start seeing results.
You can find the calculator here: Macro Friendly Food – Easy Macros Calculator
Additionally, there are a lot of resources available to help you determine your macros.
Some that we’ve had success with are as follows:
