1 Year Honest Review Of MacroFactor App - Is It Worth It?

I have used MacroFactor for the last 14 months, here are my thoughts and if you should give it a try yourself!
If you have any questions on the app itself, let me know and I would be happy to answer!
Here is a fitness app training video I made on JuggernautAi: • Juggernaut AI Powerbui...

Hey I just came accross this video, I really liked it! If you see this, I have a question if that's okay. It's been a year since you posted this, I was wondering how you feel with the MacroFactor app another year later? Do you still recommend it?

[@GymmyJosh]

@@RobertoTorres-lo8yrit’s his app I don’t think he’s going to say much bad about it.

Appreciate you taking the time to make and post this! Insightful, lean and thoughtful. Good stuff matey :)

[@rebeccakekelishvili2185]

Thank you for the thorough review! 👍

[@ChrisJakob264]

Thanks for the comment! Hope it was helpful!

[@praisethelord4222]

Great review. Thank you.

[@cynthiatorres1678]

Hello! Do you still use macro factor? Are there any cons to it?

[@victordoom-py3vr]

Better than Carbon Diet Coach app?

[@Tyler-Ski4]

Are refeeds built in here?

[@jesperhubinette4946]

The video seems to be cut of a bit early, or perhaps that was intended? Otherwise great video!!

[@ChrisJakob264]

Hmm yeah for some reason it cut off, but there wasn’t any more info just the sign off! That’s for noticing and the feedback!

[@hunterbates9539]

So I’m noticing some discrepancies between what the food label reads and what MacroFactor logs, as in, MFP says my citrus cuties are 35 calories per fruit, gala apples around 80 calories but when I log them into MF it logs the foods at like 10-20 calories higher than the actual food label. Do I use MF numbers or should I lower their calories to match the actual food label

[@alexd.3760]

Always match to the label

[@Detrah436]

How exactly does the expediture calculator work ? Do you enter workouts you did and it calulates it based on weight and height ? or do you enter steps/cals from something like fitbit ?

[@ChrisJakob264]

It tracks just off data, so the only inputs are your bodyweight and food consumed. Then after about 3 weeks it hones in on your expenditure based on changes in your weight vs calories consumed. So If your steps increase or decrease in a period of time your bodyweight trend update the expenditure calculator

[@jakubstepien5645]

Authors say that the method described by @PaladinPerformanceTraining is more accurate, than relying on "calories burned" in a smartwatch.

[@cliffarend7008]

I was wondering the same thing great question. Did you end up using the app ?

[@lorettawheeler8492]

Do you find the food options available for tracking to be fairly vast? Are restaurant options also provided? Thanks very much.

[@wesleysoriano5427]

I use this app and restaurants are in there as well. It definitely has a vast amount of foods. Plus the barcode scan for nutrition information is worth it on it own. lol

[@arpanakashray6283]

​@@wesleysoriano5427Do you have any idea if it would scan labels in languages other than English too? (Like Dutch/German)

[@Soul2311]

@@arpanakashray6283 Ja

How effective is it for lean bulking?

[@ChrisJakob264]

Pretty effective if you follow the prescribed macros! Can set a super low rate of gain and get to work

[@cynthiatorres1678]

​@ChrisJakob264 how do you set a low rate of gain?

[@radiationshepherd]

I really like it

Why is your audio so echoy when you clearly have a good mic? 😢

[@cr0p_dustin]

Because the room you record in is FAR more important than your mic. Also, he had the mic pointing down, so the cardioid pattern is facing at the floor away from him, literally recording echoes.
