      Hey I just came accross this video, I really liked it! If you see this, I have a question if that's okay. It's been a year since you posted this, I was wondering how you feel with the MacroFactor app another year later? Do you still recommend it?

    Do you find the food options available for tracking to be fairly vast? Are restaurant options also provided? Thanks very much.

      I use this app and restaurants are in there as well. It definitely has a vast amount of foods. Plus the barcode scan for nutrition information is worth it on it own. lol

    How exactly does the expediture calculator work ? Do you enter workouts you did and it calulates it based on weight and height ? or do you enter steps/cals from something like fitbit ?

    • @ChrisJakob264
      @ChrisJakob264  Год назад +22

      It tracks just off data, so the only inputs are your bodyweight and food consumed. Then after about 3 weeks it hones in on your expenditure based on changes in your weight vs calories consumed. So If your steps increase or decrease in a period of time your bodyweight trend update the expenditure calculator

      Authors say that the method described by @PaladinPerformanceTraining is more accurate, than relying on "calories burned" in a smartwatch.

    So I’m noticing some discrepancies between what the food label reads and what MacroFactor logs, as in, MFP says my citrus cuties are 35 calories per fruit, gala apples around 80 calories but when I log them into MF it logs the foods at like 10-20 calories higher than the actual food label. Do I use MF numbers or should I lower their calories to match the actual food label

    • @alexd.3760
      @alexd.3760 4 месяца назад

      Always match to the label

    • @Green_Bean_Machine
      @Green_Bean_Machine 29 дней назад

      I’m not bothering, if it gets that wrong it’ll know whether you need to eat more or less based on your weight loss/gain, it moves you towards your goal as healthily as it can.

    Why is your audio so echoy when you clearly have a good mic? 😢

    • @cr0p_dustin
      @cr0p_dustin 8 месяцев назад +2

      Because the room you record in is FAR more important than your mic. Also, he had the mic pointing down, so the cardioid pattern is facing at the floor away from him, literally recording echoes.
