New Food App from the StrongerbyScience folks: MacroFactor

[MFAAS]

Has anyone looked at this yet? I have used MyFitnessPal for years now and it is pretty good. The entry options can be frustrating. The SBS guys made MacroFactor because they felt like the current options were just not adequate. I got it setup but didn't log food just yet.

The first thing I noticed is that the BMR for MacroFactor is like 3800 cals. In MyFitnessPal it is fucking 2800.

Anyway, it's an app worth checking out. Greg and Eric really fucking know their shit, so I would think the app would work well and hopefully be a more streamlined version of MFP that's easier to use and more accurate!

If any one has tried it out, please share experiences! Or if someone is planning on it soon, it'd be really helpful!!

I just downloaded Macrofactor a few days ago. So far, it's going pretty well. Its initial TDEE for me is 100 calories more than cronometer gave me.

It takes a couple of weeks for the app to learn and adapt to you, so I will have more to say later in the month.

I like that it takes a three day average instead of relying on your weight on any given day.

I actually just tried it.


Going to see how it works I’m trying to lose a quick 15-20 lbs in the next few months. Did a more agressive diet with low carbs. Actually extremely intresting I’ll keep updated if I remember

Has me eating 140 grams of fat and idk how I feel about that.
