How Can I Hit my Macros on the Weekend?

The weekend typically offers many unique challenges that can sway you from your usual macro routine, such as social events, nights out, the opportunity to sleep in, and often deviation from a strict schedule. 

To combat this, you might have to put extra focus on eating protein-rich meals (after all, it’s tempting to sit in front of the TV and eat chips and salsa all day). You might also plan on squeezing in more food in a shorter window if you tend to sleep in a good chunk of the day.

Speaking of planning, if eating out with friends and kicking back with a few adult beverages is your jam, you might want to plan to give yourself higher calories on the weekend using the "high/low day" feature. This will lower your recommended baseline calories on the event-free weekdays, while giving you higher calories to enjoy your weekend rendezvous.
