Where Does MacroFactor Store Food Logs?
MacroFactor keeps food logs, expenditure tracking, and coaching plans in your account with health-app sync. Check-ins drive the algorithm.
Last updated
MacroFactor stores nutrition coaching in the account cloud. Food logs with verified entries, scale trends, expenditure estimates, and macro programs sync across devices. Health platform integrations pipe activity and weight in both directions.
The local app caches for offline logging and uploads on reconnect. That makes migration a login event with nothing manual. Data export options cover the spreadsheet crowd, though the algorithm output matters more than raw rows. Keep logging during travel; estimates decay without input.
Where MacroFactor stores this, by platform
MacroFactor app > Dashboard (account history)
Logs and coaching sync via account with Health Connect both ways. Exact folder names may vary by version. Export data periodically as the portable copy.
MacroFactor app > Dashboard (account history)
Same account model as Android with Apple Health sync. Weigh-ins drive the algorithm; keep them regular across device moves.
Frequently asked questions
Does history transfer to a new phone?
Yes for logs, programs, and trends on login. Scale check-ins and nutrition history arrive together. The coaching algorithm needs continuous weigh-ins, so gaps stall adjustments more than any single overeating day does.
How does the expenditure tracking work?
Log daily in the app and weigh in on schedule; the expenditure estimate updates weekly from the trend. Apple Health and Health Connect feed activity both ways. Bathroom-scale consistency beats device precision for the math.
