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. Whatever you compete in — Macro Alien understands periodized nutrition for your discipline. $4.99/mo or $49.99/yr. 7-day free trial. Full access. Cancel anytime. Terms: https://macroalien.app/terms/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Supwell at every 3 days against Macro Alien's monthly. Supwell also leads on ratings volume (94 vs 2). Macro Alien's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
