I’m going to walk you through how to set up your MFP app and account so that you can get started tracking ASAP. but if you want simplicity and to not complicate and already complicated learning curve you may want to upgrade at some point!

YOU CAN absolutely use another app like My Macros+, a notebook, or the free version of MFP etc. It gives you the ability to clearly put your macros on the top of your main page and plan your day out. While I realize the premium version of the app costs money, it is MUCH easier and clearer to use in my opinion for a beginner. MyFitnessPal (or MFP) is my app of choice (although there are many options), I just feel that this ease of use and the size of the database is the best option. Macro counting as a lifestyle requires that you have an app to track all of your meal intake throughout the day.
