Since using the Macrostax app, I have noticed a big significant difference over other apps I have used in the past to track my food, weight loss and health goals. A big help has been the check ins with the Macrostax staff and also ability to message them for help or questions. Since I started tracking my macros and using the app, I have gotten more in tune with nutrition, eating healthier, better proportions and better quality food. I love aiming to hit the 👍 up in each category which has been a huge help in understanding which carb, protein, or fat I need to to eat to hit whatever goal I have left for that given day. I do not regret switching over to macrostax & I highly recommend this app!
Macrostax has helped me plan out several meals days in advance, whether it’s a workout day or rest day, which is essential to hit all my macros without deviation or worrying about eating the last few grams of random macros.
The app also provides some tasty recipes that my family will eat too! They have a good variety of different cuisines and love that you can filter recipes by different means like how the meal is prepped (like instant pot, grill, bake, etc), cooking time, and meal type. Also you can add your own customizations to their recipes and save to meals AND you can create your own recipes!!
The only thing I wish it had was the fill macros button like in the past! It’s not a deal breaker to me though and I am finding great success with it!

Thanks for sharing your experience! I love this app, and I can't believe it because I've tried at least 5 others, and for some reason, they just didn't work for me. Even the main one everyone uses... I've tried and tried, and I just didn't like it! Somehow Macrostax crossed my path, I signed up, and I love it! I find it super intuitive and easy to use. It has really helped me lean out - first for a photoshoot, and now, I know that if I hit my macros and complete my circles, I see the results I want. I highly recommend it!

We're so glad you found us and that we were able to help you achieve your goals! Thanks for sharing your experience and the review! This is not a quick way to lose weight app. Those will set you up for failure. Macrostax is geared so you lose (or gain) weight based on what’s best for your body, age, and activity. I’m eating carbs, more food, and becoming lean!! I’m not depriving myself because the app helps me fit in what I want to eat. And I don’t have to workout 7 days a week (or at all) for results!! It’s truly helped change how I eat daily. The food bank has nearly every item, but I can add to it. The recipes are really good, too!! And having program experts available to chat with for further help is so helpful!!

Thanks for sharing your experience and the 5 star review! We're excited that we're helping you achieve your goals!I’ve been using Macrostax for 7 years. They have really enhanced their app over the years. This is the best macro counting app ever. It is so easy to use, scan food, search restaurants and even the generic foods listed in the search are perfect. I have been using this app daily for a long time. I’ve been through cut, maintain and gain phases and the macros are changed throughout each phase. I’ve had great success with Macrostax because of the flexibility and consistency. Macro counting is a lifestyle not a diet! And Macrostax makes it easy to follow and stick to. I don’t know what I would do without Macrostax. Even my 7 year old daughter can use the app, she will mark off my macros and search foods! Macrostax is life!

Thank you for being a loyal Macrostaxer, growing with us through the years and sharing your experience! Before Macrostax I was working hard in the gym but not seeing the results I was desperately working hard for and wanting. That was because my nutrition wasn’t aligning with my goals. Since Macrostax I have more energy
for my workouts, eating foods I love and have a better relationship with food.
The best part about this app is the easiness of tracking. I have used MFP before and would never go back. The ability to change ALL food items into grams is the game changer for me. The coaches were helpful too, but I personally found that an in person coach paired with Macrostax gave me the most success. I like how you can add meals also. The recipes have been great too and it’s nice to add them and just adjust the portions as needed. I miss the desktop and share features, but overall it’s still my go to when I’m tracking. I know the numbers I have to hit so even if I don’t get 3 green thumbs I know it’s still helpful to track in an easy way.

We're so glad you find tracking easy with Macrostax! Thank you for the review! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Macrostax! It’s super user friendly and walks you through how to determine what your macros should be based off your activity level and goals you want to achieve. The recipes are the best! And the biggest plus is Stax chat! They are so nice and helpful if you have any questions. This is the app to get!
I have been using Macrostax since 2019 and I have transformed my body to healthier happier body. My workouts are more productive and I feel amazing! I used to eat the same thing when I liked it, now I am more balanced with different foods. This app gives options for meals and is easy to use if you go out to dinner. I’m not always on point with my macros but this keeps me pretty consistent and I love how I get emails for new meals that motivate me to keep me on track. I appreciate the options for making your own recipes and putting in your favorites.
There is a Facebook group to help each other and challenges that kick start and keep me going.

We love that you're feeling amazing and that you've chosen us to be part of your nutrition journey for so long! Thank you so much for the review and for being a Macrostaxer! I have been using Macrostax for almost 3 years. This app has changed the way I view food and my body! From the beginning, it taught me how to have a healthy relationship with food and just how much I was under eating. I have so much more energy and am in the best shape of my life…even with indulgences. The Macrostax Team has been amazing in answering all of my questions and guiding me on choosing the correct fitness and activity level as my goals change. Highly recommend!
