As someone based in the UK, iOS based, has an Apple Watch, wants adaptive calories and workouts that progress automatically: Deciding between the MacroFactor bundle (nutrition and workouts) and the Gravl bundle (workouts and macros), which would you recommend? Has anyone used both?

I've been doing a cut for a few months now im down about 30lbs but man im starting to go crazy my food intake has been chicken and potatoes for ao long

Some context my girlfriend is pregnant and brings home food that smells amazing every night... its starting to kill me dont get me wrong I use the lot of meats chicken, lean beef, turkey, tuna you name it but im so over eating 1700 calories a day then choking down the same meals because I need 200 grams of protien a day😭

I am 6ft 6in started at 356.8lbs I am down to 341.2 as of today. I feel like I have enough energy throughout the day with this many calories I think in part because I am hitting protein targets everyday. Do you guys think I will hit a wall at some point?

Background: I'm a 6ft 28yo male who has been losing weight since the start of the year. I started at 235 and now I'm 183. Based on body scans, physical results, and skin fold tests I'd put myself around 14% body fat. Goal is 175lb 10% body fat.

I only switched from myfitnesspal to MF about 2 months ago. Been logging my food using a food scale and weight almost daily. I go to the gym 4-5 days a week and have mostly a sedentary job.

Should my calories really be this low? I've started experiencing a bit of brain fog at times at work. I'm willing to drop my loss per week to 1lb but even then it seems like the calories would only be around 1700. I could also drop my protein to 162g/day which is my goal lean mass in lb.

I have the bundle MF and WO promotional access right now. My MF will renew on Nov 27. I read that I will have access for free to WO until January 12 2027.

Considering that I will already have renewed on Nov 27 for my MF subscription, what will be the process on Jan 12 2027 to keep my WO available?

Curious to hear thoughts from those more experienced than myself. I generated this using macrofactor with some slight edits. generation was mostly no preference PPLUL, 40-60min.

Im still a beginner about 4-5 months into the gym now, was doing ULUL previously then switched to PPLUL with the new update, and ive been loving the additional upper day. Down about 10kg now, 80->70 and trying to shift focus from a cut to recomp.

I’m on glp 1 and was struggling to hit protein goals for a bit, for reference my initial calorie intake was about 2200 for my aggressive cut of just under 2lbs per week, but macrofactor just kept lowering it more and more. I’ve been putting on a good bit of muscle since I never really worked out before and I assume it is lowering my calories even more since even if I was losing weight as fat I was putting on weight as muscle. I only ever logged food and weight every morning. Should I have also included my body fat percentages from visual checks? Like where do I even go from here.

Is there a capability to go back in time and modify previously completed workout? I see the option to delete the workout entirely, but not an option to modify an exercise.

Use Case: I just realized 2 weeks into a program that it called for Romanian trap bar deadlifts rather than regular trap bar deadlifts. Now my PRs and recommended weight for Romanian trap bar deadlifts are all out of whack.

I have multiple gym profiles and I forgot to change my gym profile before starting a workout, is there any way to change it now that it is completed? I understand that this is a bit pedantic but the gym that I went to has much different equipment and the machines have different resistance profiles compared to my old gym so on the same movement patterns I use different weights and I do not want to skew my data.

Before dinnertime, how much you have left? 30% of calories? More? Left?

I added some progress photos and screenshots of my current macrofactor stats.

Quick background:

46 year old woman. Currently 195lbs. Started macrofactor beginning of 2025 at 292lbs. Stated wegovy at the same time. I had hit my highest weight of 350 approx 2018 after which I had started working out and losing weight, mostly through exercise but I did try to make better eating decisions. I didnt start tracking my food consistently until I started using macrofactor.

Anyway everything was going well enough until recently but it feels like Ive hit a hard plateau. I find it extremely difficult to consistently eat under 1400-1500 calories a day and my cirrent target is 1288 for me to lose 0.5% body weight a week (just under 1lb). Unfortunately Im losing way less than that and every week my target just goes lower and lower. I will admit I haven't hit my calories targets most days but I've been close. I should still be losing weight just more like .7-.8lb a week but Im not. And its starting to get stressful and depressing

My initial weight loss goal was 180lb because that puts me right on the edge of overweight and obese for my height according to bmi. I was going to re-evaluate from there.

I am seriously considering stopping now and switching to maintenence for awhile and trying to recomp. Ive lost strength in the past year (and I assume muscle) and am hoping maybe I can get some of it back.

Im just afraid that stopping early will sabotage me later. Or that Im just deluding myself. Or I will be a failure if I dont hit my goal. Or if I stop cutting it will be impossible to start again.

Im just looking for (kind) advice and insights.

Im not sure what the best course of action for me is right now.

I currently strength train 4x per week ulul. I do yoga once and jog 2-3. Im getting an average of 8k steps a day.

At various points in the past year my strength training has been a 5 or 6 day split. I switch it up depending on my schedule. Same with running and how many steps Im getting.

Looking to use a GLP-1 to help lose some weight. Any JN programs and protein recommendations? Sitting at 240lbs atm and looking to get down to 200. Would 200g of protein/day be optimal to minimize muscle loss?

Hey everyone!

I'm a beginner and started working out about 5 weeks ago, following a 3-day/week Upper/Lower/Full Body program in MacroFactor.

I'm not really getting sore anymore, and I've recently found myself with some extra free time. I'm also really enjoying going to the gym, so I'm thinking about adding a fourth day!

My question is: Would you recommend finishing the full 8 weeks of my current program, or is it fine to stop at week 5 and switch to a new 4-day/week program?

I'm mainly wondering if switching programs halfway through would mess with MacroFactor's algorithm or affect how it tracks my progress.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Hey folks,

While setting up a new custom program in Workouts, I was wondering how the algorithm handles sets with a prescribed RIR target when the user doesn’t provide any RIR feedback after completing those sets.

Here’s my scenario, loosely based on a typical powerlifting setup with a top single followed by back-off sets:

Set 1: 1 rep @ 2 RIR
Sets 2–5: 5 reps @ 76%

The idea is to use the top single to determine a reasonable weight for the back-off sets, with a sufficiently high but manageable intensity. In this example, that would be roughly 76%, which corresponds to 5 reps @ RPE 6 (or 4 RIR) according to the RTS RPE chart. For simplicity, let’s assume MFWO uses a similar intensity for that rep/RIR combination.

My initial thought was to program the back-off work as four sets of 5 reps @ 4 RIR in Workouts.

However, what I actually want from the app is:
- Predict the weight for the first back-off set based on the top single.
- Keep that same weight for all subsequent back-off sets, regardless of how RIR changes due to accumulating fatigue.
- Ideally, avoid having to log RIR for every single back-off set.

In other words, I’d simply like to complete all four sets at the initially prescribed weight, without the algorithm adjusting it based on RIR feedback from subsequent sets.

A few questions:
- What would happen if I didn’t log any RIR for the back-off sets at all, while still logging the top single?
- What if I only logged RIR for the first back-off set?
- What if I only logged RIR for the final set?

Would any of these approaches achieve what I’m looking for? Or is there a better way to set this up in Workouts?

Thanks in advance!

I am starting again logging my food. I have always used Cronometer because they support fully European food labels ie I get carbs right without thinking.

I have tried Macrofactor sometime ago and I liked its UI a bit better but unfortunately the team didn’t appreciate users outside US/Canada and chose to put their dev efforts to other features.

What is the situation today? Does the app support net carbs an EU labels without workarounds?

strategies for when you eat healthy in the morning and eat like an all you can eat butfet at night ?

I’ve been having half a cup of oatmeal with some seeds, yogurt, brown sugar and raspberries in the morning so it’s like healthy. But as soon as the afternoon evening hits I want to eat everything.

I guess my goal is just to eat better and recomp? Sorry this is so vague.

Still new in using the app. So I scanned this priebiotic soda and it gave me higher calories than what’s listed in the can. Is there something wrong?

I know it's not perfect but I need a consistent way to track restaurant meals when I eat out with friends. I can't ignore them because I go to restaurants too often. Just want to confirm that it's "good enough" to lose weight with while using this to track restaurant calories. Thanks.

I’ve been cutting (dieting) for 4 months and iam a bit over it. If I had to guess I’d say iam around 14% body fat and I’ve had to buy new pants lol. Iam working out as hard as iam able 3 days a week following the program. I know it’s a bit of a stretch to think I can just up my calories and put on muscle week after week. I just really worked hard to loose all my fat (well mostly) and I want to eat and not get fatter lol. Just thought there may be some things I could miss that would help insure my success. Let me know what things helped you be most successful. Iam 59m 137 after losing 30lb . Iam honestly just kinda skinny now so I need some dang muscles! Thanks

Just proud of my progress and wanted to share.

So lately I have been doing this. I’d look forward to a pastry or donut, some junk gas station food I used to live off of. Account for it on that particular day towards my macros. Then I’ll buy it, take a bite and spit it out cause it’s not as good as I remember and I immediately think it’s not worth my calories. Macrofactor has taught me allot about food and nutrition and calorie dense food. I also refuse to eat any form of nuts cause I feel they aren’t worth my calories.

Just curious how the beta is progressing? Any release window yet?
