## What is Macros?

Macros is a complete calorie and macro tracker. Keep it quick with calories and macros, or go as deep as you want with micronutrients, goals for each day of the week and monthly reports. Whether you're just starting out or you're an athlete dialing in every gram, Macros adapts to you.

Tell Macros your goal, whether that's losing weight, maintaining or gaining, and it calculates your daily calories and macros from your profile. Or set your own targets.

### 5/5 — Meilleur appli de suivi d’alimentation

*2026-10-21*

La meilleure appli pour suivre son alimentation, j’ai tout essayé et c’est la seule qui ne force pas à utiliser l’ia et passer 20 minutes à expliquer ses objectifs à l’installation de lappli, c facile a utiliser, je l’utilise depuis plusieurs années, y’a pas plus simple

**Developer response:** Un grand merci pour ton retour. Ça fait plaisir de savoir que tu utilises toujours Macros après plusieurs années.

### 5/5 — To amando!

*2026-10-14*

Baixei por indicação e tá me ajudando muito a ter mais noção de como eu to me alimentando em relação à proporção de carboidratos, gorduras e proteínas. Tem muuuuitos produtos cadastrados e o mais legal é que é super fácil de adicionar um novo produto, caso vc não encontre. Super recomendo pra quem quer ter essa noção de composição do prato, ajuda a equilibrar as refeições e se alimentar melhor

**Developer response:** Muito obrigado! Ficamos felizes que o Macros esteja te ajudando 😊

### 5/5 — My choice for calorie tracker

The easiest simplest most effective app i have used been using it for 5 year never let me down once

### 5/5 — Best app I’ve ever added

### 2/5 — Counts Cals but no weight loss

*2026-08-18*

I’ve been using this for a few years. It’s great at counting calories but whatever it’s using to assess what I need to do to lose weight does not work. I’ve tried everything. I’ve tried being honest, putting in my actual age, weight and height, telling it to lose weight and following it strictly and not losing weight. I think because of my age it’s not correctly accounting for menopause and that I need to be more restrictive so I tell her that I’m shorter or that I’m lighter or that I’m older so that it will reduce my calories and I still don’t lose weight. I am strict as possible, and I still don’t lose weight. Sometimes I allow it to account for the exercise I do every day and sometimes I don’t. It doesn’t matter. I still don’t lose weight. After three or four years of using this app I’m up 25 pounds rather than down any weight. I don’t eat out. I don’t eat with friends. I don’t do anything but follow this app strictly. It’s not worth it. Maybe if you’re 20, you’ll lose weight no matter what you do. But this app is not designed either for women or for older people or I’m not sure what.

**Developer response:** Thanks for using Macros for so many years, and I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had such a frustrating experience.

The calorie target in Macros is an estimate calculated from the age, height, weight, activity level and goal entered in the app. It is not able to account for every individual factor that can affect energy requirements, including physiological changes such as menopause, and it should not be considered an individualized medical or nutritional assessment.

I would also recommend using your actual age, height and weight rather than changing these values to obtain a lower calorie target, as this can make the estimate less meaningful. Exercise calories and the selected activity level can also affect the calculation and, in some configurations, may result in activity being counted twice.

If the calculated target has consistently not matched your experience, please contact me through the app and I’ll be happy to review your settings with you. For significant or unexplained changes in weight, it may also be appropriate to discuss this with a qualified healthcare professional.

### 5/5 — My favorite calorie tracker ever

*2026-07-24, version 2.1.0*

easy to use and so incredibly helpful. not full of a bunch of unnecessary stuff like myfitnesspal is. i have been using this for like a year and a half im so grateful for this app honestly

### 5/5 — Keeping on track

*2026-07-20, version 2.1.0*

The app easy to follow and it keeps me on track

### 5/5 — perfeito

*2026-07-15*

eu uso esse aplicativo todos os dias e em 6 meses consegui perder 9 quilos, gosto muito do aplicativo pq tenho muito controle sobre oq eu como e quanto de água eu consumo no dia, a única melhoria que eu gostaria é q tivesse opções mais fixas sobre os alimentos, muitos dos alimentos são os próprios usuários q criaram e eu sinto falta de ter uma tabela certinha pra seguir, as vezes por exemplo as calorias de um alimento estão certas mas os macros não. Gostaria q tivessem mais alimentos com a tabela nutricional correta. 
Entendo q em receitas caseiras é interessante q nos usuários façamos ali uma nova criação, mas faz falta ter algo certinho já q o intuito é ter o controle sobre carbo, proteína e gordura. Entretanto, é um ótimo aplicativo, amo e vou continuar usando ksksk.
É muito interessante que msm gratuito ele tenha como guardar sua idade, seu peso, e até escolher o tipo de dieta a seguir, tbm gosto bastante que o aplicativo recomenda uma quantidade de água diária e vc pode alterar podendo colocar uma meta maior do q seu corpo necessita.

**Developer response:** Obrigado pela avaliação e parabéns pelos 9 kg! Estamos trabalhando para melhorar a base de dados, e você deverá notar melhorias nos próximos meses.

### 5/5 — Top demais !

*2026-07-10*

O melhor aplicativo de contar calorias .

**Developer response:** Muito obrigado pela ótima avaliação! Ficamos muito felizes em saber que o Macros está ajudando você no dia a dia.
