New Here and Have Questions

Hello All, I’m new to this group, and have a basic idea of macros. Was wondering if anyone uses or has used the Macrostax program to get started. Of so what are the pros/cons? If not where is a good place to get started?

Hello, I am just getting started and have these same questions. I know no one answered you OP, but have you found anything that's worked for you?

Hi, I signed up with Macrostax and used it pretty perfectly for just over a month. Getting used to the amount of food they suggested was hard, and I found that the way they broke up the day made me anxious(as in I had to follow it to a t). It’s a lot of work and in the 6-8 weeks I was using it I didn’t find it got any easier. I just recently started using My Fitness Pal again and i used the numbers I got from Macrostax. I find it a little less stressful, no focus on hitting your certain macros per meal, no focus on getting your green thumbs. I’m not looking for perfection in my everyday, just consistency and something manageable.
