Also depends on what you want to accomplish. If you want to bulk go for 1 or 1.5 grams per pound of body weight. If you are cutting 1 or 1.5 grams per pound of LBM.

like they said you can use fitday.com, but basically you are just adding up the mount of protein (grams) in all of the food you eat.

I use Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets to track my info.
I have 4 different spreadsheets in one file.
- First one tracks what I eat throughout the day (date, breakfast/time, lunch/time, meal#3/time, dinner/time, meal#5/time, notes)
- Second is a calculations sheet which I have listed foods I regularly eat and some I eat occassionally along with their nutritional info - I calculate the info throughout the entire day using copy/paste from the calculations list, then log them under my third sheet:
- "Saved Calculations"
- Fourth sheet is "MEAL PLANS" which lays out a bunch of different meal options as well as meal plans for entire days based on calories and macro split
lol.
