Should you ditch My Fitness Pal? Is this app the new King of Tracking? (MacroFactor App Review)

Описание: An exciting new app from the Stronger by Science team; My Initial Review! Part 2 will discuss MF's calorie adjustments and how these calculations stack ups against other app like Carbon and MyFitnessPal Premium.
Discount codes and other resources below.


Also, a few corrections / things to clarify:

I mention my Withings scale can't sync daily weigh ins without being able to use the Health Mate app, but turns out I could have just synced it with Google Health app
I applaud the database for being verified by professionals, but fail to mention it specifically is"RD-verified", which as Greg has mentioned in his SBS stream is a good selling point that further sets it apart from MFP and their often crowdsourced entries.
-The Carbon app was erroneously listed at $39.9o/yr, rather than $79.99
-I realize Many of my critiques of the AI Describe feature may be difficult for them to control. AI Describe is governed by the Nutritionix API but hey, they should get on that, whoever they are!
-Eric's last name may not be Elbows after all. I have reached out to his PR team but they have not responded back for comment. Pending a background check I will update this post with details as they become available.
