WIN THE DAY

Ideas on foods that will help finish your macros at the end of the day

A lot of people find it hard to finish off those macros at the end of the day in order to get those last couple grams of carbs, protein or fats in without totally throwing off one of the other numbers that is already maxed out. Below is a helpful list of foods based on different macro make-ups that will give you some ideas of the foods that I use frequently based on the numbers I need to fill in to hit my numbers. This is just a start and I will continue to update it as more ideas come to me-- feel free to leave other ideas of foods that you use in the comments sections, the more the merrier!! Let the games of 'Macro Tetris' begin!

Some of the foods in these groups might have small amount of other macros but I tried to come up with as many ideas as possible for each of the categories below.
