Macros lets you assign daily nutrition targets to clients directly inside your programs. Clients log their intake via Apple Health or Google Health Connect, and you can review adherence in Review Mode.
📋 When to use this
You want to assign protein, carb, and fat targets alongside training
You want to track macro adherence across your client base
🖥 How to add a Macros block to a day
Open your program schedule
Hover over a day — the Macros icon will appear. Click it to add a Macros block
You can also add it from within Build Mode using the Macros action button
Only one Macros block per day is allowed. If a block already exists on that day, you will be asked whether to replace or keep it. The Macros block appears at the top of the day so it is easy to see at a glance.
⚙️ Setting macro targets — two methods
Exact targets — set specific gram values for Protein, Carbs, and Fat. Best for 1-2-1 coaching where each client has precise individual goals. Calories are auto-calculated using: Calories = (Protein × 4) + (Carbs × 4) + (Fat × 9)
Bodyweight-based targets — set targets as a ratio per kg of bodyweight (e.g. 1.5g protein per kg). FITR calculates each client's actual targets using their recorded weight. Best for group programs where the same formula applies at scale. Clients must have a bodyweight logged for this to work.
Group programs default to bodyweight-based targets. 1-2-1 programs default to exact targets. You can switch between modes at any time — previously entered values are saved.
⚙️ Macro Calculator
Use the built-in Macro Calculator to estimate appropriate targets for a client, then copy them directly into the Macros block with one click.
Open a new Macros block and select Macro Calculator
Choose a BMR formula — Harris-Benedict or Mifflin-St Jeor
Complete all fields: gender, age, weight, height, activity level
Select a macro split: Balanced (30/40/30), High Protein (40/30/30), Low Carb (30/20/50), or Low Fat (30/50/20)
Click Copy to Macros to apply the results
Which formula to use: Mifflin-St Jeor is more accurate for most clients today (slightly lower calorie estimates — best for fat loss or recomp). Harris-Benedict gives slightly higher estimates — best if you prefer a higher calorie baseline.
⚙️ Reviewing macro adherence
In Review Mode, you can see client macro adherence alongside their training:
Assigned targets appear at the top
Client logs appear underneath
Clients are grouped into Completed (logged any macros) and Missed (nothing logged)
You can message an individual client or bulk message everyone in either group
Only clients with macro targets assigned on a program or track appear in this view.
