Frequently asked questions

Open the Nutrition tab and select Log Food. You can search the food database, scan a barcode, use AI Food Snap, reuse a recent food, or create a custom food. Review the serving size and nutrition before adding it to your journal.

Yes. Tap a food or workout in its daily log to update it. You can also delete an entry without affecting anything else logged that day.

Take a photo of your meal or choose one from your photo library. GainMacro estimates the foods, portions, calories, and macros visible in the image. Results are estimates, so review the ingredients and serving sizes before saving.

Barcode information may come from manufacturers or community food databases and can change over time. Always compare the result with the package label. You can edit or report information that looks incorrect.

Meal suggestions use your remaining calories and macros, fitness goal, diet style, and food preferences to recommend meals that fit the rest of your day. You can adjust servings and customize a recipe before logging it.

Healthy Nearby helps you discover macro-friendly restaurant options around you. You can compare calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat before adding an item to your food journal. Location access is only requested when the feature needs it.

Open the Workout tab and select Start Workout. Strength sessions track exercises, sets, repetitions, weight, and RPE. Cardio sessions track the activity, duration, distance, intensity, and estimated calories burned.

RPE means “Rate of Perceived Exertion.” It describes how difficult a set felt. An RPE of 10 represents maximum effort, while an RPE of 7 usually means you could have completed about three more repetitions.

Yes. GainMacro includes Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, Full Body, Bro Split, and Cardio Focus templates. You can also create and edit your own seven-day workout split.

GainMacro uses a smoothed seven-day trend so normal daily fluctuations do not immediately change your status. More consistent weigh-ins create more useful weekly trends and goal projections.

Calorie adherence compares a completely logged day with your calorie target. Protein adherence counts a complete day when you reach or exceed your protein goal. Incomplete days remain unscored instead of being treated as successful or unsuccessful.

Physique Check-ins let Apex members save progress photos and receive AI-generated feedback about visible progress, training focus, nutrition, and recovery. This feedback is informational and is not a medical assessment.

Yes. You can export your food and workout history as a CSV file from the Progress tab. You can also export your core account data as a JSON file from Privacy & Data settings.
