Mike's Macros Reviews

by Girl_with_brown_eyes

I love this. The database seems to have been expanded and that’s great!
I do have a complaint: I used to be able to create a meal and save that meal so I could log it again at a later date - like when meal prepping and eating the same thing. Now I have a list of ingredients, each as a separate meal and I can’t figure how to put those together into one meal.
Overall, it’s a great app and I’m thankful to Mike for his time and dedication.

Maybe I'm not understanding MikesMacros . It seemed really straight forward and I was excited to begin tracking. But I just spent over an hour manually entering the macros for every food I eat... I assumed I could then cherry pick from my entries tomorrow.

For example, if I was having eggs with broccoli for breakfast I thought I could just go in and pick "eggs" and "broccoli" and add it to my "Meal 1".

Unless I'm totally not getting it, I don't see a way to do this and it appears I have to enter each food manually every time? That can't be right.

Idk, I'm giving up for tonight. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Very clean app, seems like it is great if you set it up right. I may have gone wrong by entering all the foods at once thinking it was a data base.

Great little app, no fluff, simple to use, and a surprising amount of food in the database. One thing it really needs is the ability to see/edit history. You can only ever see "today." Would love to be ability to go back in time and see how I've done previously, especially if I forgot or didn't get a chance to enter food from the day before.

Huge database makes it super easy to track your numbers! And Mike sets a really nice tone with everything he writes. Anyone else having issues with the update tho? Since last night none of the numbers are showing up and I can’t select anything

MikesMacros would be hands down bar none the best macro counting app available *if* it had a recipes feature. The database is accurate and fairly comprehensive, the macros are customizable, the UI is no nonsense and clean. I just simply cook too much to use an app without a recipe building/saving feature. Please add it and save me from Mfp!!!

I like how straight forward and easy to use MikesMacros is. Just type in the grams of each macro you're eating, and it does all the basic calculations for you. The food database may not be as big as the one from myfitnesspal or others, but I have no problem hunting the nutrition facts of certain food items on the internet. I eat vegetables that happen to have an Asian origin, so the food database doesn't cover them.

MikesMacros helped change my relationship with food forever. It helped eliminate the stress about what foods are good or bad *spoiler* food isn’t the savior or the villain, food is just calories & calories help you grow or shrink. Eat less & move smarter. You can even eat a Big Mac for 30 days & lose 7 lbs 😉

I have religiously used MFP for years, mainly because I was used to it and because everyone uses it. Stumbled across this one and thought I would give it a shot. The first few days is a headache trying to set up frequent foods but now I really like the setup and being able to view exactly how many macros I have left to eat for the day. I really like MikesMacros a lot more and will continue to use it. Good luck!

Yes nothing is perfect. Everyone wants all the bells and whistles but MikesMacros does what you need it too. I started at 330 lbs in 4 months using MikesMacros I’m now down to 267 lbs. It works. Just save your meals and follow it. Tried many others including paid ones. In my opinion it fits my needs and gave me the results I wanted. Pretty easy format. Just enter your goals. Plan your meals and follow it. Of course exercise along with a diet with speed things up. It’s a game changer!

I had to go through a few apps to finally get this one and I’m loving it , it’s easy straight to the point , he’s not trying to sell us anything and the searchable food data base is just great! I never leave reviews but MikesMacros definitely deserves one !

MikesMacros has all you really need to be 100% in charge on your diet. It’s Simple to use and has a very pretty minimalistic interface. There are no fancy graphs or colorful charts in this one, but you know at a glance how your day is going. It allows to create custom meals and has “quick add” option to really track everything you eat.
It gives you the possibility to split macro goals into Rest/Training Day (So useful), a small but very accurate food database, Spot on Macro Calculator and it’s actually free: No Advertising, No Upsells, No Spam. This is really good!

I had used this on and off before the food database was added and it was well thought out but just a lot of work entering my macros for the day. Adding the food database (which isn’t muddied up with user entries) has made this a thousand times easier. I even found an entry for crepes by diameter. I’m a single working mom so spending the time to calculate the exact macros in my homemade crepe recipe just isn’t going to happen most days. Thanks Mike! This warrants my first app review.

I've been using MikesMacros for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. It has almost everything that I want and nothing that I don't. One of the best features is that the food database that is already installed is minimal. Other apps have so many duplicates of the same food, it becomes impossible to locate what you want when you want it. It's easy enough to add my own food. MikesMacros just tracks the macros too, which is all I wanted.

Finally, an app that is not dedicated to weight loss and doesn’t charge a load of money for something simple. It’s very easy to use, has a good database, and lets one flip between training and rest days with visual charts. If you’re looking for something easy to just track your macros, let it be this.

MikesMacros is superior to all other calorie counting apps in regards to accuracy. MFP and the like are very far off in regards to calorie count. It takes a little more work, it's not instant gratification, but it's well worth it and you feel more in control of your diet and don't have to wonder why you're not seeing results. Excellent app. Thank you.

Download it now. It will totally change your relationship with food for the better.

Macros were downright mystifying before I stumbled upon On The Regimen. Now that I’m interacting with MikesMacros a handful of times a day, I’m getting a grip on my nutrition and really taking charge of it for the first time ever.

MikesMacros took a bit of messing with to figure out. It’s not super intuitive, but absolutely worth it.

I’ve been using MikesMacros every day for the past 2 years and I don’t know what I would do without it. It’s easy to use, doesn’t have distracting ads plastered all over it, it’s got a clean look to it. You can search for food & customize the amount, you can plug in your own stuff, and you can save things for later. This is all for free too. Such a great app.

I’ve been using MikesMacros for about 2 years and I absolutely love it. It’s simple and easy to use, however the latest update has rendered all the text white so I can’t see my numbers! Hope it gets fixed soon. 5 stars for the 2 years of functionality and the hope that it will all get worked out.

by Free2bahappy1

An app for counting macros easily without all the BS!
MikesMacros is for people who know what they're doing or at least have a good idea of their plan and need a way to stick to it and keep their information in one location. with the added bonus of tips and great ideas too!
I just downloaded this and I can tell you, after trying others...I'm already in love! So easy! Good job!

Best macro tracker. Simple and clean interface. Will never use any other (and I've tried them all free/paid).
One suggestion though; a 'notes' section to independently track fiber if a user wants to? Maybe in the 'progress' section? I understand why it wouldn't work on the main screen though, everything there is just so concise/clear/readable as is - love it.
Thanks for taking the time to make this excellent app!

I’ve been using MikesMacros for 2 weeks and I love it. I’ll be completely awesome and I’ll add an additional star if the put a sodium tracker. Nothing fancy, just add sodium to the protein, carbs and fat list and it’d be great.
