Macronutrients — protein, carbohydrates and fat — are the nutrients your body needs in larger amounts and the primary sources of calories in your diet.

At MacroRx+, we use personalized calorie and macronutrient targets as a starting point, then review your real-world progress and make adjustments when needed. The goal isn’t simply to hit numbers — it’s to find an approach that supports your goals and is sustainable in everyday life.

1. An account with MyFitnessPal where you will be measuring and logging your food intake throughout the day.  You can log this on a smart phone, tablet, or computer.

2. A digital food scale to weigh your foods. If you don’t have a good one, we recommend the super-accurate OXO Good Grips 11-Pound Stainless Steel Kitchen Scale with Pull-Out Display .  It has a pull-out display and can weigh up to 11 pounds in ounces or grams.

3. A digital body scale to weigh yourself each morning when you first get up.  We recommend the Vitafit VT715 Bathroom Scale.

4. A MacroRx+ membership. Monthly, quarterly and annual options are available. Your membership gives you access to your coaches, the MacroRx+ community and the tools and support you’ll use throughout the program.

MacroRx+ isn’t a static calculator or one-size-fits-all diet. Your initial calorie and macro prescription is only the starting point.

As you progress, your results are reviewed and your targets can be adjusted based on what’s actually happening — while one-on-one coaching and community accountability help you put the plan into practice.

Real progress leads to real adjustments. Your plan is designed to change with you.

No. MacroRx+ offers monthly, quarterly and annual memberships so you can choose the commitment that works best for you. Every option includes the same personalized coaching, ongoing adjustments and community support. Monthly gives you the most flexibility, while quarterly and annual memberships offer savings for a longer commitment.

Low- and no-calorie sweeteners can reduce the added sugar, carbohydrates and calories in foods and beverages. Common examples include aspartame, sucralose (Splenda), acesulfame potassium (Ace-K), saccharin and naturally derived options such as stevia and monk fruit.

FDA-approved sweeteners are considered safe when consumed within established intake limits. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean foods containing them should become a major part of your diet. Research has not shown that simply replacing sugar with non-sugar sweeteners is a reliable long-term solution for weight management, and the World Health Organization recommends against relying on them for that purpose.

At MacroRx+, our concern is less about an occasional diet soda or artificially sweetened food and more about what your overall diet looks like. We encourage you to build most of your nutrition around whole and minimally processed foods rather than heavily relying on “diet,” “sugar-free” or artificially sweetened products to make your macros work.

When you do want a lower-sugar option, we generally prefer naturally derived sweeteners such as stevia or monk fruit, but they still don’t need to be in everything you eat. One of the benefits of eating more whole foods is becoming accustomed to foods that aren’t always intensely sweet.

Bottom line: You don’t need to fear artificial sweeteners or completely eliminate them to be successful with MacroRx+. Use them in moderation when they’re helpful, but don’t let lower calories or “sugar-free” claims turn highly processed foods into the foundation of your diet. Real food should do most of the heavy lifting.

There isn’t a specific list of foods that are “allowed” or “off limits” with MacroRx+.

We encourage you to build most of your diet around whole and minimally processed foods that provide plenty of protein, fiber and micronutrients. At the same time, foods you enjoy can still fit into your nutrition targets.

An occasional dessert, restaurant meal or other less nutrient-dense choice doesn’t undo an otherwise consistent diet. The goal is to develop an eating pattern you can actually sustain — not to eat perfectly.
