Avatar Nutrition: Macro Coach

I’ve been using Avatar since November 2020, but got serious in January. I’ve always gotten bored tracking my food because I used MyFitness pal and was in my caloric count regularly. What I didn’t pay attention to was what I was eating. After looking at my macros I wasn’t eating nearly enough protein and too much fat and carbs. I guess I could’ve upgraded but my wife has been using this app for a while and I figured I’d give it a try. I’ve lost 20 pounds in three months and I never lost near that weight with myfitness pal. The database is limited, but you can always add in your own meal and foods. It’s got different goals to choose from and you can email an ACTUAL PERSON at any time. It flexes out your calories if you don’t hit them on a particular day and your daily averages don’t matter as much as the weekly which is great because you can change your “check-in” day and flex out any overage (or make up for any shortage!). The bubbles are visually pleasing and the learning curve is small. I’m glad I gave this app a shot.

This app has been such a game changer in terms of hitting my nutrition goals. The improvements that they’ve made to the app and software has made this absolutely fool proof for tracking macros and the in-app coaching/ guidance and hands on support they provide is the macro-friendly cherry on top. I genuinely never saw myself as capable of hitting any type of goals in terms of weight loss, that I was a lost cause but after signing up, I’ve realized that this doesn’t have to be so complicated and unsustainable as I’d thought for so many year. I am seeing progress and changes both physically and mentally and know that it wouldn’t have been possible without the Avatar team. This is more than a macro tracking app; this is a community and a family all going through similar journeys. Thank you Mark, Katie and the rest of the Avatar team for making me realize I can eat Girl Scout cookies every day and still see my body fat percentage drop🙌🏼

The app I have been waiting for was worth the wait imo and so far I am very impressed. 1. It has calculated my macros for me based on the data I imputed and the goal I have set for myself. This could be very costly if you were hiring someone to do it for you. 2. I have a place to “Checkin” weekly and have some accountability (WhooHoo) 3. The app will adjust my macros based off of my weekly data and whether or not I am hitting my goals or not (again, this can be very costly if you hire someone to adjust your macros for you) 4. The app is flexible in that I can switch some carbs for fats or fats for carbs, depending on how the day is going. I’m not stuck trying to eat one macro at the end of the night to hit my numbers. 5. The app has an alcohol option so that there isn’t a ton of math calculations that need to be done in order to enjoy a brewskey... 6. There is an alarm for Intermittent Fasting on/of so I don’t need ANOTHER app to track this AND 6. If I ever decide to carb cycle, the app offers that as well. ... I mean.. geez.. I’m sold. Now the fun part. I gotta use it to track and see if it gives me real results... 🤞🏽
