Why and when should I track macros?

WHY to count macros:

Dieting can be kind of like a maze. How do you know where to go? Increase calories, or decrease? Increase protein, decrease fat, keep carbs where they are? How do you know what choices to make based upon current choices and their current outcomes, if you don’t know what you are currently doing?
