Release details

Strava is now integrated directly into Macrosia, bringing training activity and nutrition tracking together in one daily view.

Connect Once, Keep Activities Current

Connect Strava from Profile Settings. Macrosia can then import recent activities and calories burned, refresh stale data automatically when you open today's Activities view, or sync immediately when you choose Sync Now.

More Useful Workout Context

Imported activities are clearly marked as coming from Strava and include available workout metrics such as distance, elevation, heart rate, and calories. Local activity times are preserved so workouts appear where you expect them in the timeline.

Reliability Across the App

This update also includes newer AI models, more resilient AI Coach request handling, more reliable dashboard loading, and fixes for meal creation and production sign-in issues.

Smart Targets Update

✨ Personalized Nutrition Targets & Smart Goal Adjustments

New Features

  • ✨Smart Targets Engine: Now uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate personalized calorie and macro targets based on your specific metrics
  • ✨Dynamic Goal Adjustments: Automatic calorie adjustments based on your goal (Lose Weight: -500kcal, Slow Loss: -250kcal, Gain Muscle: +300kcal)
  • ✨Reset Control: Added a 'Reset to Recommended Values' button in Profile Settings to easily recalculate your targets

Bug Fixes

  • πŸ”§Safety Floor Improvement: Fixed an issue where sedentary users couldn't achieve a calorie deficit while maintaining safe minimums (floor lowered to BMR)
Release details

We've completely rebuilt how Macrosia calculates your nutrition targets to be smarter and more personalized.

From Hard-Coded to Smart

Previously, we used standard hard-coded ratios. Now, we've implemented the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, the gold standard for estimating metabolic rate. This means your targets are now calculated based on your specific body metrics and activity level.

Dynamic Goal Adjustments

The app now intelligently adjusts your calorie budget based on your specific goal:

  • Lose Weight: TDEE - 500 kcal (roughly 1 lb/week)
  • Slow Loss: TDEE - 250 kcal
  • Gain Muscle: TDEE + 300 kcal

Improved Safety Logic

We've refined our "safety floor" logic to ensure that even sedentary users can safely pursue weight loss goals without the app preventing a calorie deficit, while still protecting against dangerously low intake recommendations.

You can try out the new Smart Targets by visiting your Profile Settings and clicking "Reset to Recommended Values".
