Have different daily macro goals for different days or workout / non-workout days for carb cycling
I do a lot of competition prep and within prepping meal plans. It would be great to set up different macro and calorie intake goals for different days out of the week. Because it would allow my clients to fully understand carb cycling. For now I have uploaded a pdf version of the meal plan showing that but would be great if that can be adjusted as well when it comes to programming it within your platform.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your great suggestion! We've added this to our work queue/raodmap. We'll post further updates here as our teams pick it up to work on it.
Please come back to ideas.trainerize.com to add your vote to other ideas.
Thanks!

Need to be able to set specific calorie/macro targets for different days of the week pertaining to high/low or training/non-training days. This is an absolutely vital feature and I can't believe it isn't already added! If you want to keep up with Layne Norton "Carbon Diet Coach" we need to have this feature ASAP!!!

I would like to be able to add more than one nutritional target to my clients such as low calorie days and high calorie days. If we could please add more than 1 nutritional target would be greatly appreciate! Thanks.

The fact this isn’t a feature already is crazy! For most of my clients (gen pop), they have higher calorie days on a weekend and lower calories during the week. I can’t manage that in the app and it gets confusing for them. Debating using a google sheet as that would allow me to do this!

Allow different sets of macros for rest days and training days.

set different nutrition goals for different days. For instance low carb on monday, friday and higher carb on the rest of the days? If I set a nutrition goal right now it is for every day and I cannot plan in advance. Would be great if that is possible . As I'am a nutrition coach for athletes and bodybuilders and I need to be able to do this properly.

Please make this a priority soon. I need to be able to make certain days during the week have higher macros.

Yes! This is a huge thing for me with my clients. I need to be able to add in high/low days and different macros for different days of the week. Are they looking into this one yet?

Looking to be able to build clients daily macros. Hence if we put them on a carb cycle, or certain days are just different. Rather then only giving them one set of macro goals. Would make it easier for the coaches to track and the clients to know what days are bringing in what amounts.

Refeed Days are growing in popularity. Have two sets of macro goals would help tremendously

I usually only set calorie and protein goals for many clients, but being able to have higher cals on some days and lower cals on another day would be helpful.

Allow trainer to set client multiple calorie goals for different days of the week/calorie cycling.

Connor Green commented
Is this a thing yet? It should be.

Having the ability to have two - three macro goals for clients who have high and low days around training.

Would be so helpful to be able to assign different macros on different days (I.e. training days vs rest days, carb cycling, re-feeds)

Erin Phillips commented
Can someone from Trainerize acknowledge this request & let us know if it's in development? Would be hugely beneficial. Thanks!

This would be perfect for carb cycling or putting clients in a recomp.

When I program a calorie goal for clients I tend to give them moderate calorie days and a few higher-calorie days which they will hit on a weekend to give them a bit more flexibility or they can use the higher calorie days on their more difficult training days.
It would be nice to have the ability to set a calorie and protein target for a set amount of days rather than it being for the full week.
A nutrition protocol tab could be a good idea. We could program the client their moderate and high-calorie days, give them macro targets and then put a description underneath to provide any additional information and explain why we have set these targets.

Also ability to automate macros for when a client is reverse dieting their macros change every 1-2 weeks

Split Macros: REFEED DAYS - DIET BREAKS - etc

I use Calorie Cycling and/or weekly re-feed days with my Nutrition clients regularly so would love to see the ability to set different nutrition targets for different days of the week (eg. Sun-Thurs = Target range X; Fri-Sat = Target range Y....or Sun-Fri = A; Saturday = B etc.)
MyFitness Pal is able to accommodate these different targets, so the clients can set correctly according to my recommendations in MFP but I can only have the one nutrition goal set in their Trainerize profile so Compliance isn't truly accurate?
