Your MacroRx+ prescription gives you calorie, protein, carbohydrate, and fat information, but not every number needs to be treated the same way.

When planning your day, use this order of priority:

1. Stay close to your calorie prescription

Your total calorie intake is the highest priority. You don’t need to hit the exact number every day, but aim to finish reasonably close to your prescribed calories.

2. Meet your minimum protein target

Think of protein as a minimum, not a number you need to hit exactly. Getting enough protein helps support muscle maintenance, especially while losing weight, and can also help with fullness.

3. Stay within your carbohydrate target

Once calories and protein are accounted for, use your carbohydrate target to help guide the rest of your food choices. You don’t need to hit the exact number, but generally try not to exceed it.

What about fat?

For most MacroRx+ prescriptions, fat doesn’t have a separate minimum or maximum target. Your calorie, protein, and carbohydrate targets already create practical boundaries for how much fat can fit into your day.

Don’t make yourself crazy trying to make every number in MyFitnessPal line up perfectly. Depending on the foods you choose, it may be mathematically impossible to hit every displayed macro number exactly—and that’s okay.

Your priorities are: Calories → Minimum Protein → Carbohydrate Target.

Consistently getting reasonably close to your prescription matters much more than trying to create a “perfect” day.
