I just subscribed to the smart meal planner and really disappointed that I can't change the macro targets I have made fro my clients. Everyone has different macro needs and this is too basic for what I offer my clients.

I would like the ability to carb bunch in the day and limit carbs at dinner time. This could be done with a toggle per meal, e.g limit carbs

Any updates on this??? Smart meal planner is a great feature and it really help us trainer, but been unable to set specific macros targets for clients makes the all job harder. I really didnt. want to. change apps but is making my life harder lately. Pls give us some updates

Many reasons why this needs to be lowered: bikini competition prep is one example. But Gastic sleeve and gastric bypass is the main reason. Unfortunately, clients who have had these surgeries can't physically eat 1400cal due to the restriction. These clients usually eat anywhere from 800-1200cal. I don't like it being that low, but this is just the reality of what is tolerated and recommended from their doctors.

If you aren't able to set custom macros with the meal planner, then it should allow you to keep the macro goal option. I think it is critical to be able to set custom macros for our clients, not just a generic range that the meal planner provides.

I NEED TO BE ABLE TO ADD MACROS BY CUSTOM PERCENTAGE OR SPECIFIC GRAM

This needs to change in both directions. A small 40kg bikini competitor will need days lower than 1400.

More obviously though, 4000 is WAY to restrictive if you have any high level male athlete who is wanting to get bigger.

Super important! It is too generic right now

This needs to be updated asap! I too have women who are very small and their calorie allowance is lower than 1400.

Must be able to plan the macros to the client in an exact measurement or at the very least from 1400 - 1450 and not a 100 calorie difference. Also would like to be able to add 5 meals a day to match the macros, not the current way where it only allows so many meals based on the macros. This forces me to set the macros high and then look for meals based on the calories and macros that I would like for the client.

This is what I need. I will have to switch to another platform if this isn’t an option soon because the way it is now does not work for me when I am wanting to adjust macros (ie: adding 5 or 10g to specific macro)

Ability to enter our own macro targets instead of % splits. Allows for minor adjustments (eg: add 10g protein). I’d like it to show a macro breakdown in app rather than have to upload a PDF. May go back to True Coach

Having the ability to custom macros, calories (ex. 1480 vs. 1400) and number of meals is so important to a good plan. Offering only 3 meals max for a certain number of calories is so limiting and makes it hard to teach clients how to spread their meals out throughout the day. I'm having to pay extra for another website to offer exactly what I need for my clients. Being able to add new recipes into the program and allow clients to pull for the database is nice - Now if we could just get more options available on how custom we can make their plans it would be amazing.

To be able to choose the macros without being limited to 20% , 30%, 40 %

And the option to have a slider or similar, that will move the calories within specific numbers, and option to have high carbs days, example training days.

Ex. 37% P , 36% C, 27 % F

The variable calories to be able to select days of the week as higher calories, and different days as lower calories, with weekly average the same.

Ex. Target 1600kcal avg
Mon-Fri 1400kcal
Sat-Sun 2100kcal

Many clients who are small or have had gastric sleeve surgery need plans with caloric intake below 1400. We need this changed to a minimum of 1200. This is even based on NASM.

There needs to be the option to put in your own specified macro nutrient requirements, because of the fact that some of us have very specificly athletic clientele. The friction that has been created due to an inaccurate calorie count for a high-level athlete or bodybuilder, is unnecessary and quite frankly really frustrating

why would you ever need below 1400? even a small person their BMR is around 1200

I have clients whose total daily expenditure is 1400 or below. For them to lose fat at least 0.5lb a week , they have to be on a 250-300 cal deficit. please allow custom calorie intake at least 1200.

Ideal for stripping down for a competition.

I succeeded myself using a 40/40/20 split.
