Macro tracking without the guesswork

Targets built from your numbers, not a generic formula

During setup, MyCoach Ed calculates your BMR and TDEE from your age, weight, body fat, and activity — then sets calories with a goal-based adjustment: a controlled surplus for building, a measured deficit for cutting. Protein, carbs, fat, and fiber targets follow from there. Calorie floors are built in, so a cut never drops you below what your body needs to train and recover. And when your weight trend changes, your targets change with it.

Photo to macros in seconds

The reason most people quit tracking by Wednesday is friction. MyCoach Ed removes it: snap a photo of your plate and get a full macro breakdown — each food identified, portions estimated, calories and macros itemized. Prefer typing? “Chicken, rice, broccoli” is enough. Search a database, enter things manually when you want precision, and meals you eat often get saved for one-tap logging. However you log, it takes seconds, not minutes.

It's 3pm and you're 45g short on protein. Now what?

This is where a calorie tracker for lifters has to be more than a logbook. MyCoach Ed shows exactly where you stand after every meal — and when you're behind, your coach suggests specific foods that fit your remaining calories and close the protein gap by bedtime. Not “eat more protein.” Actual meals, with actual macros, sized to what's left in your day.

• •Real-time remaining macros after every logged meal
• •Meal suggestions sized to your remaining targets
• •Adherence trends — like missing protein 4 of the last 7 days — surfaced before they cost you a month

Nutrition that talks to the rest of your training

Your macro coach sees more than food. It knows what you lifted this week, how you slept, and what your last blood panel said — so nutrition advice accounts for training volume and recovery, not just a calorie number. Eating in a deep deficit during your highest-volume week? It flags the mismatch. That's the difference between tracking macros and being coached on them.
