Import calories burned Looking to track activity and adjust macros based off what was burned. If I did a 3mile walk or run, the app could link to Apple health and adjust my macros / calories
Fiber is a big part of how many people eat and track their health, and it should be just as easy to see as calories, protein, carbs, and fat. This idea would make fiber visible across the app at the meal level, so you can quickly understand how much fiber you’re getting with breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, custom meals, and even individual foods. Why this would help See fiber for every meal at a glance so it appears alongside your other meal totals and macro breakdowns. Include fiber in meal goals at the top with calories, protein, carbs, and fat, so each meal shows how it contributes toward your target. Show fiber in the breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack mini summaries, not just in the daily total. Display fiber in custom meal creation screens too, so you don’t have to open each ingredient and manually add it up when building or editing a meal. Show fiber for individual foods on the main meal view/diary, making it easier to spot where your fiber is coming from without extra taps. Support daily fiber goals and progress just like other key nutrition targets, so it’s easier to track everything in one place. Make it easier to repeat successful meals when a meal helped you hit your fiber target and you want to use it again on another day. Why it matters to users People are tracking fiber for many different reasons, including: Managing blood sugar and building more balanced meals Supporting hormone and menopause-related nutrition goals Following guidance from a dietitian or nutritionist Focusing on fiber as one of the most important nutrition metrics, sometimes even more than fat or net carbs Learning which meals help them reach — or even exceed — their fiber goal so they can recreate that success For many users, net carbs alone aren’t enough — they want to see actual fiber by meal to better understand how they’re eating. Nice-to-have details users would love A clear but compact fiber label/icon if space is limited The option to see fiber broken down further (such as soluble and insoluble fiber) in the nutrition details This would make fiber much easier to track, easier to learn from, and easier to act on day to day.
Bring Garmin Connect and MacrosFirst together so your training, health, and nutrition data can stay in sync in one easier daily view. For anyone using a Garmin watch or smart scale, this would make it much simpler to match what you eat with how active you are—especially on training days, long run days, and rest days. With a Garmin Connect integration, you could: See calories in and calories out together by viewing calories burned from Garmin alongside the macros and calories you log in MacrosFirst. Adjust nutrition more easily for training vs. rest days, so you can tell when you may need more food after runs, lifts, or other workouts. Sync steps automatically from your Garmin watch, which is especially useful for people who use step count to guide nutrition targets and daily activity goals. Import workouts and activities from Garmin to help you plan and review nutrition before, during, and after workouts—including long-distance runs. Sync weight from Garmin smart scales so weigh-ins flow into MacrosFirst without extra manual logging. Sync water tracking between Garmin and MacrosFirst, making it easier to stay on top of hydration without entering it twice. Optionally share data both ways between MacrosFirst and Garmin Connect, including key info like calories, macros, weight, and water. This would be a huge quality-of-life upgrade for users who already rely on Garmin every day for health and fitness tracking. Many in the community have said they prefer MacrosFirst over MyFitnessPal and would love the same Garmin connection here—some even saying it would be a must-have feature and a reason to subscribe.
It would be incredibly helpful to get AI-powered food, snack, and recipe suggestions based on what you have left for the day. Instead of guessing how to finish your calories and macros, the app could recommend practical meal ideas that help you stay on target. Why this would be useful Suggest foods, snacks, or full recipes based on your remaining macros and calories for the day. Take into account how many meals you have left, so recommendations feel realistic and fit naturally into the rest of your day. Help round out macros you’re low on, whether you need more protein, carbs, fats, or just the right calorie balance. Use AI to create more personalized recommendations instead of generic suggestions. Learn from your typical eating patterns so the ideas match foods you actually enjoy and are more likely to eat. Prioritize foods you commonly have available, making suggestions more practical for what’s already in your kitchen. This would make it much easier to decide what to eat next and stay aligned with daily nutrition goals without all the manual planning.
Ability to check off foods as you consume them so you can preplan your day Just a simple checkbox next to each food you tracked or maybe just the meal so you can preplan your day and then check off entries as you eat them.
Many of us love MacrosFirst on mobile—but also need the option to use it on a larger screen when a phone isn’t convenient (or allowed). A web/desktop version (and/or iPad-friendly experience) would make planning, logging, and managing meals faster, easier, and more accessible. What this would enable Full MacrosFirst access from a web browser/desktop so you can use all features from a laptop or computer—not just view-only. Faster meal planning and meal prep using a keyboard (especially for planning a full week). Easier recipe building and editing (less tedious than doing complex entry on a phone). Quick logging during the workday when you’re already on a laptop, at lunch, or when your phone isn’t accessible/you’re not supposed to have it out. Better readability & accessibility on a larger screen for those with aging eyes or who struggle with small phone interfaces (including Gen X users who prefer desktop). Convenient multi-account use (for example, logging into your account and a spouse’s account at the same time—e.g., one in an incognito tab—when recording meals you prepare). Support for coaches and power users who manage lots of entries and need a more efficient desktop workflow. No need for workarounds like installing an Android simulator just to use MacrosFirst on a computer. Stay competitive with other trackers that already offer both mobile and desktop options—this is a deciding factor for some users choosing (or switching away from) MacrosFirst. Why it matters A web/desktop option would be a true “game changer” for many: easier data entry, easier planning, better accessibility, and a smoother way to use MacrosFirst throughout the day—desktop when you’re at your computer, mobile when you’re on the go.
Using MacrosFirst with Fitbit should feel effortless. This integration would connect your nutrition and activity data automatically, so you can see what you ate, what you burned, and how that affects your day — without switching between apps or doing the math yourself. What this would help with: Send nutrition from MacrosFirst to Fitbit Sync calories and macros from MacrosFirst into Fitbit so Fitbit reflects what you actually ate. Bring Fitbit data into MacrosFirst Sync energy expenditure / calories burned from Fitbit into MacrosFirst. Sync steps as well, including using steps to help calculate calories burned where appropriate. Include other important Fitbit metrics users mentioned, such as weight. Support workouts and exercise tracked in Fitbit so they can count toward your daily calorie burn. Adjust daily calorie targets based on real activity Let calories burned, workouts, and steps from Fitbit increase daily calories to eat when appropriate. This helps people avoid accidentally creating too large of a calorie deficit. For example, if your goal is 1,800 calories for maintenance and Fitbit shows 400 calories burned, you could clearly see that you can eat an extra 400 calories instead of calculating your net intake manually. Keep diet and exercise in one connected view Make it easier to track food, macros, workouts, activity, steps, weight, and calories/energy burned together. Reduce the need to bounce between apps, compare numbers, or do mental math. Work directly with Fitbit, not only through phone health apps Support syncing with the Fitbit app directly, rather than only through a phone’s health app. This would be especially helpful for people who rely on Fitbit because their Apple Watch battery isn’t dependable or they don’t always carry their phone. It also gives users more flexibility beyond Apple Health and Apple Watch. A direct Fitbit integration would make day-to-day tracking simpler, more accurate, and easier to stick with — especially for anyone who wants their food and activity data working together automatically.
When you search for a food to log, show a helpful list of other foods you commonly log with it—so you can add multiple items in one go instead of searching (or building a meal) every time. This would make repeating routines and “mix-and-match” meals much quicker, especially when the meal isn’t always exactly the same. What this would help you do See “frequently tracked together” suggestions right in search (similar to what many people liked in MFP). Log multiple items at the same time from those suggestions (instead of adding each item individually). Handle flexible meals that vary day-to-day (e.g., tacos: you search ground beef and quickly add common pairings like sour cream, cheese, etc.). Speed up daily routines where the same items are often paired (e.g., searching vitamin also surfaces preworkout and a rice cake you usually log together). Related search need (from user feedback) Add the ability to search past food logs by ingredient so you can find previous days/meals that included a specific item (e.g., you remember a meal had carved turkey but don’t remember the day).
I want to be able to see a grocery list based on a meal plan that I entered over the selected days.
Undo Button I would love an Undo Button. More than once I have accidentally deleted an entire meal and would the option to undo that.
