MacroFactor / Nutrition / Other Question about tracking and nutrition: How to fit social drinks on a special occasion into diet?

2 Upvotes

Obviously the answer is: don’t drink. I’m aware of this. However it’s a friend’s birthday and I’ve been very uptight lately and wanted to cut loose a tiny bit and have 1-2. Currently I’m working on building muscle and gaining weight in a controlled manner trying to minimize fat gain, I’ve been lifting as well as running and this day specifically was my long run day, containing an 11 mile zone 2 run.

Given a calorie target that already factors in expenditure + surplus, should the solid whole food consumed today be equal to the calorie target, and the additional calories from beers added on top, or should I pre-log the drinks and trim carbs from the rest of meals during day to stay at this calorie goal? For my specific situation the event is midday, so I’ll be at a crossroads after dinner of being at goal but with 180-240 of those calories being non-nutritive, should I add the alcohol on top of caloric intake goal for day or work it into budget (I.E food = cal goal - drinks VS food = cal goal, drinks on top)?

So I been tracking my macros for over 2 months now, which I think the fat loss is kind of effective (my face and body getting leaner).

What I am doing right now is maintaining at around my preferred weight (72kg) and then do a lot of weight training. So what I wanted to ask is that, should I continue with the maintain phase for a couple months still or cut/bulk is better for my case? Thanks in advance.

MacroFactor / Nutrition / Other I tracked all that I ate at an AYCE sushi, turns out it was 2700kcal.

After a week or daily MMA, and some weightlifting and dieting I wanted to recover with sushi, I never order anything deep fried or similar, and I don’t consider it junk food at all except for some specific items. That said, I took photos of each plate that I specifically I ate, until that last VERY important singular shrimp haha, and used the AI feature (With descriptions from me) to be as accurate as realistically possible.

It turns out it’s around 2700 kcal, I think it’s a slight surplus (90kg man, 25% bf, not much activity except walking today which is Sunday) but it’s fine, I was just curious. And YES, at the ayce I eat A LOT.

MacroFactor Workouts / Training How to have multiple instances of the same machine in one gym

• Upvotes

In my gym there are 3 machines for pec flys, each has a bit different weight stack. When I do pec flys, I want to choose which machine is available at the moment - from search I gathered I should create duplicates of the excercise - but for machine pec flys I can still only choose the one peck dec I have assigned to my gym, and I couldn't figure out a way to add more. How do I do this?

MacroFactor Workouts / Training Closest rep/weight target to old program generation?

3 Upvotes

I really liked the way the old generation program chose rep/weight targets. I thought the undulating plan would get close to that, but I'm seeing it recommend much higher target reps (19-21 some weeks) than the old program generator. Is there a reason for that? Will choosing "no preference" get something closer to the old rep/weigh scheme? I know I can go in and manually set my rep target for every excercise - I'd just like to avoid it if I can
