About me

Hi, I'm Anas

And this is the cooking that helped me train better without spending all day counting calories.

Who is behind RecetasMacro

My name is Anas Boumkhaled. I'm 21, I live in Lleida (Spain) and I've been training at the gym for 3 years. For a long time I always ate the same thing: chicken, rice and broccoli. It worked, but I got bored and dropped my diet after a few weeks.

One day I started writing down the macros of the meals I cooked at home to see whether I could eat a variety of food and still hit my numbers. This site grew out of those notes.

What you'll find here

Real recipesMeals I cook at home, with supermarket ingredients and in little time.
Macros per servingCalories, protein, carbs and fat calculated for each recipe.
ToolsCalculators, weekly meal plans and a food table to help you get organised.

How I calculate the values

I weigh the ingredients raw and calculate the macros with the standard nutrition values for each food. They are approximate: they vary a little depending on the brand and the size of each piece.

I'm not a nutritionist. I share what works for me and for the people I train with. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or need a specific diet, speak to a health professional.
