"Macro-friendly" refers to a meal that fits into the overall balance of macronutrients you consume in a day, including fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Many people eat with daily macro goals that they track, similar to old-school calorie counting. Macro counting allows you to make sure you're eating enough protein, fiber, etc., without overly obsessing about calories. Many traditional oatmeal recipes are high in carbs and sugar while being low in protein, so you end up needing to serve the oats with protein on the side to make a balanced breakfast. This macro-friendly oatmeal is the best of both worlds: high in protein, low in calories, sweetened without any added sugar, and still has plenty of fiber to keep you full for hours!
