Expenditure V3 was already the best-in-class algorithm for goal-driven diet programming, and in this update the algorithm’s performance was slightly enhanced across the board.
An Expenditure Modifier is an optional add-on to the algorithm that enables you to eke out extra performance in specific scenarios. Try out MacroFactor’s two new Expenditure Modifiers by enabling them from the More Menu under “Expenditure” in Feature Settings.
- Step-Informed Updates: Uses step trends to speed up expenditure updates during periods where the step data improves confidence.
- We do NOT attempt to directly assign an expenditure value to your steps or activity.
- Predictive Goal Adjustment: Applies a predictive adjustment to expenditure based on the likely impact of goal changes.
- As a predictive modifier, we’re necessarily getting ahead of the data here, so one should expect less than ideal results if they set a goal they don’t intend to pursue.
