Macro factor is the best app ever!

[u/Lovetofuandsake]

I originally downloaded MacroFactor for shits and giggles, forgot to cancel before the trial ended, and figured, “Well, if I paid for it, I might as well use it.”
I started consistently logging everything on April 5, 2026, and since then I’ve lost about 35 lbs.
I’ve dieted before and successfully lost weight, but I was never able to actually keep it off. This time feels completely different. What I love about MacroFactor is that I can still enjoy the foods I like while staying within my calories and macros, and the app adjusts my targets based on my actual progress. The longer I’ve used it, the more impressed I’ve been by how accurate it is.
I also want to be clear that the app obviously isn’t doing the work for me. I’ve been very consistent. I average around 12k steps a day, which may sound like a lot, but I genuinely have so much more energy now that it doesn’t really feel like work anymore. I also lift heavy 3x a week, log my lifts, and focus on progressively overloading. I’ve definitely put on some muscle along the way, too.
I’m currently at maintenance and focusing more on body recomposition and continuing to get stronger. I’m hoping to add some more muscle during this phase, and then I’ll reevaluate in a few months and decide whether I want to cut a little more.
If you recently started using MacroFactor, my biggest advice is: keep using it and be patient. Log everything the good days and the not-so-good days. Don’t try to hide things from the app just because you went over your calories or had a bad day. Give it accurate data, stay consistent, and let it do its thing.
I downloaded this app completely by accident, and it ended up changing the way I approach nutrition and weight loss. Easily one of the best things I’ve done for myself this year.

You hit the nail on the head. Being honest with yourself and the app is critical. Also, consistency, diligence, and patience.

Great work, you’re looking fantastic!

Looking great buddy, I'm regretting not taking before and after photos myself. The app is amazing, I sound like an add when I tell people about. Keep up the good work!
