Backyard Boston vs Macro Alien

Welcome to the New Backyard Boston in Fort Point! Backyard was created by three Boston fitness instructors that strive to create a place where everyone feels seen and that serves as a second home to all. A place where GRIT meets PLAY and hard work is understood rather than repeatedly requested. A place where being there serves a greater purpose and that purpose is understood and supported by everyone else. Backyard is deeply entrenched in the Boston community and is dedicated to giving back to the very city that it serves. With the Backyard Boston app, you are able to book your classes, track your progress and connect with your community!

Macro Alien — the macro tracker built for athletes who actually train. Most nutrition apps are built for casual dieters. Macro Alien is built for the gym. For competition prep. For athletes who need different macros on heavy squat days vs recovery days. AI NUTRITION COACH Your AI coach knows your sport, your phase, and your numbers. Ask it to adjust macros after a brutal session. Get pre-workout meal ideas. Have it build a full periodized plan for your next competition. It's like having a nutrition coach in your pocket. SMART DAY TYPES Heavy day? Carbs go up to fuel performance. Recovery day? Scaled back. Moderate session? Right in between. Set your training type each morning and your macro targets shift automatically. No more eating the same thing regardless of how you train. LOG IN SECONDS Photograph your plate — AI identifies every item and estimates macros instantly. Scan a barcode from 1M+ foods. Search by name. Build meals from ingredients. Log a full meal prep in under a minute. PERIODIZED PHASES Cut. Bulk. Maintain. Macro Alien builds your phase timeline with weekly rate targets, auto-transitions, and AI-adjusted macros for each block. Set your competition date or goal weight — it works backward from there. ADAPTIVE TDEE TRACKING Forget online TDEE calculators. Macro Alien tracks your weight trend and intake over time to calculate your actual metabolic rate using Kalman-filtered estimation. It detects metabolic adaptation and adjusts before you plateau. APPLE HEALTH SYNC Steps, active calories, workouts, and sleep pulled directly from Apple Health. Your TDEE accounts for real training volume — not a static activity multiplier you picked once. MEAL & RECIPE BUILDER Build meals from individual ingredients. Save templates for meal prep staples. AI fills in the macros. Reuse your go-to meals with one tap. BUILT FOR YOUR SPORT Powerlifting. Bodybuilding. CrossFit. Hyrox. Running. Olympic lifting. Combat sports. Wrestling.
