Lifters- How do you work your macros?

I think I am very interested in beginning weight lifting. I'm not much of a straight cardio girl and weights have always been something I've wanted to try. Since I have fallen off track with my sleeve diet and such i need something to refocus me.

I'm looking at lifting info and there is a lot of focus on macro nutrients for muscle building. I'm wanting to really do this, but how do you work macros when you can't eat more than 1 cup at a time?

Also, is it wise to see a bariatric dietician for these issues, or should I see the dietician at my gym for help?
