Lots of the misses between CRO and MF were around recipe maintenance and management for building as well as the food log. This is a big area of opportunity for MF moving forward. The con of hourly entry is that the food log can feel messy / noisy / disorganized. The hourly entry method is very freeing in the sense that you just point, click, add, and move on rather than shuttling information into a specific bucket. I have come to appreciate hourly entry more after getting over a brief learning curve. The main shift was moving from meal based entry to hour based entry. Most of the basics have just slight differences and nuance between the two apps. The calories and macros between MF and CRO were generally within 5 - 10% and, over the course of the day with many different foods, it balanced out. In the end, it hasn't impacted actual use of the app and is something to which I have grown accustomed. This was an OCD tick of mine that helped me not micro manage my food choices min / maxing based on the exact nutrition label. This is mainly a preference to using generic items more often than branded items. Overall, I am more partial to these (NCCDB, USDA, etc.) rather than Nutritionix. Setting that range was super helpful to me mentally as it gave me visible wiggle room around my target rather than a over / under only approach.ĬRO utilizes a combination of databases. Side question.What builds a 'streak' in nutrition? How close do you have to hit the macros? CRO has the ability to set a range around a target (calories, protein, etc.) rather than a strict over / under display that needs to be hit on the nose. Definitely helps understand the why of a plan rather than just being given numbers to hit for 'reasons'. The coached mode wizard is helpful in showing the reasons for decisions and some of the information that backs how the plan is created while moving through the wizard. This replaced a big chunk of my spread sheeting and the forward looking components are a very nice touch. The MF Weight Trend and Expenditure widgets are great, especially the Weight Trend. With MF I am allowing it to do the work of the spreadsheets. These were not regular features I used, more sporadic so they did not impact the decision much for me.ĬRO has some TDEE estimations, expenditure, and land estimates but I ended up generating my own via Google Sheets to supplement. It also allows for friends so recipes and custom foods could appear in your searches. This allows a trainer to directly access client data and plans.
