Fitocracy Macros – How much should I eat to lose weight Reviews

Oops

Worked well right up to the ios9 update. Very simple interface. Very simple recording. Please fix.

The app seems great, but I can't access the menu by pressing the button at the bottom of the screen. So if you could fix that so that it's compatible with the most recent iPhone update that would be great

Please make it work for iOS 9!

This app is so good, but it stopped working with the iOS9 update! Please fix it :( It's the best out there and I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement!

You have to uninstall to update

Want to edit your macros? Have fun deleting the app and starting over

Awesomeness

This is perhaps the best and easiest way to manage your macros. Thanks for the app; Jesus Christ Bless! ?

Best app!

Great app, very simple and easy to use. It also helps keep you from over-eating by telling how many calories, carbs, proteins, and fats you can eat, varying on your training/non-training days.

Only thing I'd add

Is the ability to control when the count resets. Not everyone ends their day at midnight

Has potential...and issues

Let me preface this by saying I've been a Fitocracy user since the beginning. Super simple and clean, this app could be quick and easy to use. But it drops the ball in frustrating ways. First, as stated in other reviews, you have to input every macro by hand. I thought that would be no big deal, but it gets exhausting switching from app back to app to app back to app to check the numbers, math them, then input them, several times in both a sitting and a day. When you add a new meal, you have to rename it, instead of being able to choose it from a "breakfast, dinner, lunch" type list. It doesn't save what you wrote, either, so plan on typing "lunch" et al each day. So much typing. It also asks me every time I log in if its a rest day or training day, instead of simply the first time I log in for the day. So that gets annoying---several times a day. And although this isn't as much a complaint as it is cautionary, it gives you the chance to input your own macro goals or have them calculated for you, but doesn't tell you what method they use to compute them. It gave me different numbers than IIFYM and my own lifting program's calculations, but without giving me a reason why. One of the ways it determines your macros is by asking you to choose from a set of torso pictures that best looks like you. Never mind that this isn't scientific in the slightest, is vulnerable to subjective bias, is unrelated to the nutritional algorithm and there are only a few pictures to choose from, all that are similar in flat bellied, white skinned body type, except incrementally wider than one another. But it's ultimately the time consuming process of doing the math for my macros that I could do by paper and pen with more ease. Sorry, Fito.

Doesn't work correctly

I don't know if it's just me, but every time I put in an entry it deletes my previous one. So kind of pointless app.

Good potential, Nice and simple

Great app, very simple but would love to see a few more things. When you add your meals if it showed calculated calorie count for each meal that would be nice. Be able to sort/filter you favorites foods. Track body weight. More charts and analysis. I like that it's not cluttered with exercise log, social/profile, etc
