These are the major points that come to mind, but there are plenty of other small to large differences, some of which will come down to personal preference. MacroFactor operates in the niche of diet coach apps, and with that comes greater emphasis on goal setting, your macro program, and keeping the user’s dietary recommendations on track.

For micronutrients, we have a research-grade common food database with full micronutrient reporting for common foods, and expansion to micronutrient functionality is in the plans.

I’d say the three things you might miss are direct integrations, micronutrient visualizations and Android widgets if you use those. This will give you a sense of how this page will look going forward, so you can make sure the new (soon to be default) experience aligns with what you are looking for.

Most importantly, if you are making a purchasing decision and the food log page utility is high in your list of considerations, check out our Beta for the Food Log page: Other folks in this Reddit are more likely to give you the perspective you are looking for, but I wanted to chime in with a few things. Welcome! I am one of MF’s developers, so I am as biased as they come. Just less hassle having to constantly check if my weight is up-to-date.Įdit: Also really like the use of different icons etc so it's very easy to differentiate foods in exploded recipes or search. Cronometer has the option to sync / integrate with them directly bypassing Google Fit which is really helpful. They do sync with Google Fit but it's finicky at best and are often at the very least a day behind if syncing at all. One drawback I have found so far is the lack of direct integration with my Withings scales. I was just curious as I haven't had a lot of time yet to explore the app, but does anybody have any honest pros/cons of switching from Cronometer to Macrofactor? What could I be missing out on by switching? I realise the answers may be a little biased asked in here but I figured it best to ask regular users of the app. I have also just read about the dynamic TDEE which sounds like it'll be very helpful for me on my first proper bulk. I have just today come across Macrofactor and initiated a trial, and it seems so much easier/quicker to log things and the hourly food logs are fantastic! It also seems a little easier to locate foods as I was struggling to find things somewhat in Cronometer.

I wouldn't have minded paying for the subscription however the meal separation would have been literally the only thing I'd have been making use of. breakfast, lunch etc) being locked behind a paywall (which actually prompted me to start looking elsewhere).

I've been fairly happy with the free version of Cronometer despite the separation on meals into different categories (i.e. 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.
