My Macros+
How does the barcode scanner perform on My Macros+?
The barcode scanner is highly reliable, pulling up the correct food about 90% of the time from a database of over 5 million items. It works instantly without lag, making it ideal for quickly logging packaged foods like frozen chicken or store-brand items.
Can I set custom macro goals in My Macros+?
Yes, you can set custom goals for protein, carbs, and fat, and the app automatically adjusts the percentages. For example, you can set protein at 150g and carbs at 200g for muscle gain, and the main screen clearly shows your progress toward these targets.
Why does My Macros+ sometimes freeze when I search for food?
On some devices like the Google Pixel 7, the app may occasionally freeze for about five seconds during food searches. This isn't constant, but when it happens, try closing and reopening the app or ensuring you have the latest version installed to minimize the issue.
What are the limitations of the free version of My Macros+?
The free version only lets you track three micros out of calories, protein, carbs, and fat, so you have to choose which three matter most. To track all four plus fiber and sugar, you need the pro subscription, which may be pricey for students.
How does My Macros+ compare to MyFitnessPal for ad-free tracking?
Unlike MyFitnessPal, which has frequent ads and can feel slower on phones like the Google Pixel 7, My Macros+ offers a clean, clutter-free layout with no subscription popups. It's a solid free alternative for macro-focused users who want a fast, ad-free experience.
