Best MacroFactor alternatives with workouts (2026)

Updated

If you want one app that plans your meals and your training together, with food that changes between training days and rest days, Siloh is the best fit. If you love MacroFactor's adaptive macros and just want workouts added, MacroFactor's own Workouts app in the $89.99 a year bundle is the simplest move. If you want guided workouts and weekly meal plans from one subscription, look at Centr.

We make Siloh. Here's how we judged:

  1. Does it handle training as well as food. Logging exercise for calorie burn doesn't count as a training plan.
  2. Are the two connected. Does what you eat change with what you train, or are they separate apps?
  3. Macro tracking quality. People leaving MacroFactor are used to good targets.
  4. What's free. MacroFactor has no free version, so we note who does.
  5. Platforms and price. Checked October 2026, US prices.

1. Siloh

Best for: people who want the app to plan what they eat and how they train, as one plan.

Siloh is a nutrition and training app that plans your meals and your workouts as one system, so training days and rest days eat differently. MacroFactor gives you macro targets and leaves the meals to you. Siloh Pro gives you the meals, built around the training program it also builds.

  • Pros: Siloh Pro generates a training program for lifting, running, MMA/combat or hybrid training, matched to your goal, experience and equipment, plus a meal plan that fuels it. Food changes between training days and rest days, and the plan adapts after a skipped session. You can ask the AI coach what to eat or how to train, and get restaurant recommendations that fit your plan. Unlike MacroFactor, there's a real free tier: food logging, recipes, grocery lists, run tracking with GPS, streaks, a weekly report, households and Clubs.
  • Cons: iPhone only for now, with Android coming soon. All the AI planning needs Siloh Pro, which costs more per year than MacroFactor's bundle. It's not a dedicated adaptive macro tracker, so if weekly expenditure-based target changes are what you love about MacroFactor, you'll miss them. It's a newer app (launched July 30, 2026), with fewer reviews to go on.
  • Price: Free. Siloh Pro has a 7-day free trial, then $19.99 a month or $149.99 a year.

2. MacroFactor Nutrition + MacroFactor Workouts

Best for: MacroFactor users who want to keep their adaptive macros and add a training app from the same company.

  • Pros: MacroFactor Workouts builds a training plan from your goals, experience and equipment, then adjusts loads and reps as you log sessions with rule-based progressive overload. You can also use it as a manual log. Body metrics, scale weight, progress photos, some habits and period tracking sync between the two apps. Both are on iPhone and Android.
  • Cons: It's two apps, not one plan. MacroFactor says there are no shared coaching features or automatic adjustments between nutrition and training at launch, so your food doesn't change with your training day. No free version of either app.
  • Price: Each app is $11.99 a month, $47.99 for six months or $71.99 a year after a 7-day free trial. The bundle is $89.99 a year for both.

3. Centr

Best for: people who want guided workouts and a weekly meal plan from one subscription, and don't need detailed macro tracking.

  • Pros: Personalized workout plans cover strength, HIIT, Pilates, yoga, HYROX, boxing, MMA and hybrid training, at home or in the gym, coached or self-guided. The meal planner builds a weekly plan of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks from your goal and profile, adjusts calorie and macro targets to your activity level, and builds a shopping list from the days you pick. Works on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android, and the meal planner is on the web too.
  • Cons: It's built around set recipes, not macro logging, so it's a big change from MacroFactor. Centr doesn't say its meals change between training days and rest days. The App Store lists several membership prices for 1, 3 and 12 months, so check the current price in the app.
  • Price: 7-day free trial, then a paid membership.

4. Cronometer

Best for: detailed nutrient tracking on a budget, if you already have a training plan from somewhere else.

  • Pros: The free plan logs food, exercise and biometrics, tracks up to 84 nutrients, includes a barcode scanner and syncs with apps and devices. Gold's Macro Scheduler sets different targets for each day of the week, which you can line up with your training schedule by hand. Works on iPhone, Android and the web.
  • Cons: It doesn't build workouts, and it doesn't adjust targets from your expenditure the way MacroFactor does. The Macro Scheduler is Gold only.
  • Price: Free. Gold is $10.99 a month or $59.99 a year.

5. MyFitnessPal

Best for: a huge food database and meal plans, with workouts logged rather than planned.

  • Pros: More than 20.5 million foods, including restaurant dishes. You can log workouts and steps. Premium+ adds a meal planner with 1,500+ recipes and grocery list syncing. Runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android.
  • Cons: It doesn't build a training program. The barcode scanner is Premium and meal plans are Premium+. It doesn't adapt targets from your expenditure like MacroFactor.
  • Price: Free. Premium is $79.99 a year. Premium+ is $24.99 a month or $99.99 a year.

6. Fitbod

Best for: serious gym lifters who want the best strength programming and will keep MacroFactor for food.

  • Pros: Fitbod builds a strength routine around your goals, equipment and schedule, and uses your training history and recovery to pick which muscles to train next. It has form demos and works on iPhone, Android and Apple Watch.
  • Cons: No nutrition features, so you'd still need MacroFactor or another tracker for food. Logging new workouts after the trial needs a subscription.
  • Price: 7-day free trial, then $15.99 a month or $95.99 a year.

If you want to keep MacroFactor's adaptive targets, add MacroFactor Workouts through the bundle, or pair MacroFactor with Fitbod for deeper lifting. If you want meals and training in one subscription with set recipes, try Centr. If you want one plan where your food follows your training, including running or combat sports, and a free tier to start on, try Siloh on iPhone.
