The calories and macros between MF and CRO were generally within 5 - 10% and, over the course of the day with many different foods, it balanced out. In the end, it hasn't impacted actual use of the app and is something to which I have grown accustomed. This was an OCD tick of mine that helped me not micro manage my food choices min / maxing based on the exact nutrition label.
This is mainly a preference to using generic items more often than branded items. Overall, I am more partial to these (NCCDB, USDA, etc.) rather than Nutritionix. Setting that range was super helpful to me mentally as it gave me visible wiggle room around my target rather than a over / under only approach.ĬRO utilizes a combination of databases. Side question.What builds a 'streak' in nutrition? How close do you have to hit the macros? CRO has the ability to set a range around a target (calories, protein, etc.) rather than a strict over / under display that needs to be hit on the nose. Definitely helps understand the why of a plan rather than just being given numbers to hit for 'reasons'. The coached mode wizard is helpful in showing the reasons for decisions and some of the information that backs how the plan is created while moving through the wizard.
This replaced a big chunk of my spread sheeting and the forward looking components are a very nice touch.
The MF Weight Trend and Expenditure widgets are great, especially the Weight Trend. With MF I am allowing it to do the work of the spreadsheets. These were not regular features I used, more sporadic so they did not impact the decision much for me.ĬRO has some TDEE estimations, expenditure, and land estimates but I ended up generating my own via Google Sheets to supplement. It also allows for friends so recipes and custom foods could appear in your searches. This allows a trainer to directly access client data and plans. Profile Sharing / Coaching Review - CRO has a plan for trainers (PRO).WebUI - I know MF has this on the plan so not much to discuss.There are two items worth mentioning that I haven't seen so far. There is relatively little that I did in CRO that isn't at least similar in MF. I was by no means a power user, but did more than the basics, and also supplemented Cronometer with personal spreadsheets and formula. This information is taken from the perspective of how I used Cronometer. This evolved to a more industry standard body building diet and landing on Cronometer as my app of choice. It is also a good way to support the team as I haven't found another group that pairs high quality information with an absurd dry wit and banter in the same way.Īs a brief history, I started seriously tracking my food intake around 8 years ago when lazy keto started to fail with MyFitnessPal. The feature and function differences I have noticed haven't been substantial and quite a few are just 'polish' / maturity items that will come in time. TLDR: I will be switching to MF moving forward. I have been following a maintenance plan for this experiment and letting the formula in the background do its magic rather than leveraging some personal spreadsheets. I just hit the 30 day mark in MacroFactor and though I would give a quick summary of what I have experienced thus far. Scroll down a bit for the screenshot so "Change Rate" and "Energy Insight" are visibleģ) Your current goal (maintenance, or target rate of weight gain/loss) There's a decent chance that your question is answered in the KB:įinally, if you're asking a question about changes to your energy expenditure estimate or nutrition recommendations from the app, please provide screenshots with all of the following information:ġ) Your weight trend for the past month. It also wouldn't hurt to take a peek at the MacroFactor Knowledge Base before asking questions.
