Is tracking macros necessary to build muscle, lose fat and achieve a great physique?

As with most bodybuilding and fitness questions, the answer is not black and white. When it comes to the issue of macro tracking, the answer is that it depends.

If you have enough experience under your belt from previous years of training and dieting, then counting macros may not be necessary. For some, "intuitive eating" on its own is sufficient, meaning that meals are simply eye-balled throughout the day and rough estimates are made without physically measuring anything or meeting an exact set of bulking macros or cutting macros.

However, this nutritional tracking option is usually only suited to more advanced trainees who have put in the work to learn how to do it properly first. In most cases, this means they've done calorie tracking/macro tracking at some point in the past.

While intuitive eating would be the ultimate goal for most people, those in the beginning and intermediate stages are best off to use a more structured method.

Tracking macros down to the precise gram is one option, and if you feel fine doing this or prefer the fully organized aspect of it, then this is the method you can use, at least to start.

However, a good middle ground between intuitive eating and 100% macro tracking would be to count calories first and foremost, and then simply estimate your macros.

Beyond any specific set of bulking macros or cutting macros, total calories are by far the most important factor in your eating plan.

If you're meeting your daily calorie needs and your macronutrient ratio is simply falling within reasonable balance, that will be enough to produce optimal or near optimal results without having to track every exact gram of protein, carbs and fats that you're eating.

Just make sure you're consuming enough protein for the day (at least 0.8 grams per pound of body weight) and fat (around 25% of total calories) and from there, inter-changing your macronutrient breakdown a bit won't be a big deal if the calories are on point.

This level of nutritional tracking (counting calories and estimating macros) is detailed enough to get the muscle building and fat burning results you're after, but "loose" enough that you won't have to revolve your entire day around your bulking or cutting diet plan.
