Frequently Asked Questions

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:

• Biceps After Babies
• Body By Bre
• If It Fits Your Macros
• Transparent Labs

There are a lot of factors that play into how much you’ll spend on groceries (ie how many meals you plan to make, what brands, quantities of ingredients, what you already have in your pantry, etc). We try to include budget-friendly ingredients as well as ingredients that are readily available at most grocery stores. However, if you make 8-10 recipes per week from our Macro Friendly Meal Plans your groceries should be approximately $150.00 – $180.00. For the Breakfast, Lunch, and Snacks plan it totally depends on if you are making these meals for the whole family, but assuming you’ll be doing breakfast, lunch, and snacks for the whole family, you should be right around $80.00-$100.00 for groceries. If it’s mostly just one or two of you eating the breakfast, lunch, and snack recipes then your groceries will cost less.

Immediately after signing up you should receive an email containing your login credentials. That’s how you’ll log into your account on macrofriendlyfood.com as well as the app at macrofriendlyfood.app.

The first day of every month we will publish 12 new recipes. The recipes can be found and used in the app or downloaded/printed from your account on our website.

You can access and log into the app by going to macrofriendlyfood.app. Within the app you can create your own meal plans. You can sort the recipes by course type, year, or month. You can search by keyword or ingredient. You can add recipes to your list of favorites. And you can save your meal plans and use them on any device. For more detailed instructions on how to use the app please click here.

You can log into your account at macrofriendlyfood.com/my-account/downloads/ to view, download, or print the meal plan printouts that are available to you based on your subscription(s).

We know some people prefer pen and paper so if the meal planning app is not your thing, we’ve included 4 weeks worth of meal planning pages that you can fill out at the end of the PDF printout. This way you can select which recipes you want to make each week and stay organized.

If you don’t want to use the shopping list feature in the app, we’ve also included shopping list pages that are organized by category (ie produce, dry goods, meat, etc) in the PDF printout.

The Macro Friendly Meal Plans are meant to feed 6-8 people. The breakfast, lunch, and snack recipes are individually portioned. So you can adjust them to feed as many people as you want.

You will have full access to the app and all the meal plan printouts that are published from the time you sign up until the time you cancel your subscription.

Once your subscription has ended you will no longer have access to the app or the meal plan printouts in the downloads area of your account, but you are welcome to use any meal plans you downloaded or printed during your active subscription.

At the bottom of each recipe you’ll find a line that says “MFP-MFF (Recipe title).” The “MFP” stands for My Fitness Pal. This is the name of the recipe in My Fitness Pal. When you add food to your fitness diary in My Fitness Pal use the search bar and search the “MFF (recipe title)” listed at the bottom of the recipe and it will pull up the recipe.
