We are excited to introduce the blueprint for the evolution of MacroFactor’s diet coaching.
As you know, the Check-In is a foundational component of MacroFactor’s diet coaching system. During the Check-In, MacroFactor makes any necessary updates to your calorie and macro targets based on past weeks of weight and nutrition data – ensuring that your dietary targets are aligned with your stated goals and unique metabolism.
In Version 3.0.0, the weekly Check-In becomes a truly thoughtful and dynamic experience, driven by the intelligent MF Coach. The new Check-In will consist of curated Coaching Modules that help resolve diet challenges you may be facing and optimize your diet through further personalization.
The MF Coach
- The Check-In will now consist of Coaching Modules.
- Each Coaching Module addresses a specific problem domain. It may anticipate a question, provide targeted guidance, or make key changes to your data or program with your approval.
- Coaching Modules are thoughtfully curated for each particular user and each particular check-in. The MF Coach determines which modules appear based on your unique habits and progress.
- Some modules will be mainstays at most check-ins, while others will only surface for specific situations.
- Version 3.0.0 includes MacroFactor’s first six modules. This first batch of modules focuses on reviewing the week’s nutrition and weight logging data, allowing you to provide context that will lead to more accurate coaching recommendations.
- You may see new coaching modules appear during your Weekly Check-in as soon as next week.
Coaching modules are designed to be meaningfully impactful and minimally disruptive. Many food loggers on the market have been utilizing invasive marketing questionnaires masquerading as personalization, and those questionnaires seldom lead to any meaningful changes to the user’s experience. The MF Coach stands counter to this trend and instead curates the check-in experience, only presenting new information when it may be helpful along your journey and only asking questions when answers can meaningfully impact the trajectory of your goal. With this in mind, we have added customization options to give you more control over the coaching experience.
Settings
- If you are a skilled MacroFactor operator, a proud MF’er, and a prodigy of speed itself, you may wish to opt-out of the MF Coach experience in favor of the quick, one-tap Check-In you have today. To do so, go to More > Strategy > Fast Check-In and turn on the Fast Check-In. Fast Check-In skips past all Coaching Modules and jumps straight to updated macro recommendations.
- As we add more and more Coaching Modules, you might find some more useful than others. You can control which Coaching Modules the MF Coach will consider for each Check-In by toggling individual Coaching Modules on and off from More > Strategy.
What’s next?
With the coaching module framework now built into MacroFactor’s check-in system, our team plans to begin releasing new modules regularly, ensuring fresh experiences and added value for MF’ers. The first six modules are a starting point, and a promise of what’s to come.
Community Note: The release will gradually roll out to Android and iOS devices. It will take 1-7 days for the update to make it to everyone. After 1 day, any iOS user should be able to manually initiate the update from the App Store.
