Stupid Simple Macro Tracker 12+

I absolutely love this app! I’ve used it for almost 3 years and is it easy to use and makes tracking my food and keeping me honest on a keto diet so much easier. Unfortunately, over the last month or so it has definitely been having problems. Foods that I use frequently are not there and I have to go search for them to bring them up again. In addition, over the last week or two now almost all of my foods are showing up even though I have the settings set at 30 days to hide foods that have not been used. I was told that they were working on a fix for all of this but so far nothing has happened. I am hoping they can fix all of this so that it can go back to the way it was so that I only see the foods that I use regularly instead of having to scroll through multiple multiple foods to find what I want. I don’t want to give up this app at all because I have so many food stored in it and I love the ease of it. Hopefully it will return to this.

I google the food values when I first set up and click on the most accurate choices for my permanent Icons. I love how I can title an icon and set portions from my favorite recipes. Now, it is a breeze to click my foods I eat. I like that I can preview a choice and if I shouldn’t eat it I can delete it. No more scrolling through endless food lists on diet websites. Before I got this app I would ruin my diet because I would be too tired to look up everything I ate and lose track. Now it only takes a few minutes a day. I love how I can bank calories for the next day and it shows my overage if I went over. It keeps me from slipping. It teaches portion control and has a positive psychological effect. My desire to over consume is gone because I don’t like that overage staring at me the next day because it makes I harder on my own self. Easier just to stay within boundaries and I’m not hungry.

Only thing I wish it had was a trackable graph on blood pressure and blood sugar. I wish it was easier start and stop diets. Some times I skip dieting days on purpose but it calculates that as fasting and skews my actual number averages which I don’t like.

This is without a doubt my favorite macro tracker! They give you the ability to “quick add” carbs, fats, and protein for the cases you don’t have exact macros, or just want to keep it free and input it all yourself.

However I am running into one problem. It seems to me there is some sort of issue with what I input in a “my food” item and what gets tracked. For example, this morning I went to input my stores brand of Greek yogurt. I put all the correct nutritional information in and when I went to “eat it,” the macros were different. I put in 17 carbs, but when I would put it in to the system as food I ate, it would only count 2 carbs. That and sometimes the calories from quick adds, when added up from a food item, are different than what is on the nutritional info of the food item. Nothing crazy different, but sometimes it can be up to 40-50 calories in difference.

Overall, I still recommend the app very much, but it would be super helpful if those issues were either fixed, or explained to me if it is me doing something wrong!
