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!

still waiting, 8 years later, 737 votes...nothing. MFP has over 200 million users. Macro Counting is very much main stream now, and some of the most basic apps can do this. I love trainerize, don't get me wrong..but avoiding this huge opportunity and dismissing it "in the plans" year after year..just baffles the **** out of me.
Its clearly a hot topic..can someone please tell us why you are dragging your feet?

Hi everyone,
Thank you for continuing to share your insights and for expressing just how valuable this feature would be to your workflow. We completely understand the impact it could have and truly appreciate your patience as you wait for updates.
While this request has been marked as 'planned', signaling that it’s on our product team’s radar. It hasn’t yet progressed to the next stage of development. We understand it’s been a while, and we know many of you have been waiting a long time.
In the meantime, I wanted to highlight a few approaches that some users have found helpful as interim solutions. For instance, Custom Habits can be set up to reflect specific nutrition goals for different days, such as "Low Carb Day – under 50g." You can also reinforce these strategies with supportive content via PDF attachments (via message, or meal plan PDF) to guide clients through the adjustments on workout versus rest days.
While these options may not meet all your needs just yet, they’ve proven to be practical and effective in bridging the gap for many, and we hope they can help support your coaching in the short term.
We’ll keep collecting your feedback and will be sure to share updates as they become available. Thank you again for your continued patience and understanding.

It looks like this has been pending for several years- is there any update?? I should not have assumed this was a functionality of the app before I converted my clients to this platform.

I've been using the app for 4 years and it is insane to me that we can only set 1 set of macros. I have a lot clients that need carb cycling macros, or macros that change throughout the week.
Please Under "Nutrition Goals" Allow Us to Assign Macros to each day.
ex: Monday/Tues/Weds
ex: Thurs/Friday/Sat/Sunor training vs non training days

Agree!!! I've been coaching for a long time and getting clients results comes down to smart dieting. you guys should implement an option for coaches to control the carbs and fats on EACH specific day

Please put this as priority. Most of apps have it and it would be awesome to have this feature in Trainerize.
What is the current status? The idea is from 2018, it was put in the work roadmap in 2022 and we are about to wrap up 2024... -

It would be great to add a carb cycling option in the smart meal planner

Just following up on previous comment about when this would be applied to the app. This should be a priority in my opinion. This is something trainers use with their clients all the time. Other training apps have it. So it can be done.

I would like the ability to set a carb or calorie cycling goal for clients. For example Mondays the goal is 100 g carbs 150 protein 50 g fat. Tuesdays goal is 150 g carbs 150 g protein, 40 g fat etc.....

It would be really nice if we were able to do carb cycling or calorie cycling with our clients, meaning that we can set different carb or calorie goals on different days according to what they're doing. For example if you have a really challenging leg day your carbs would go up and then the next day say it's arms then you would go down in carbs for the goal.

This is one of the most important aspects to nutrition. Please do this ASAP. I can't think of anything else I'd rather seen done with trainerize.

This is so important in my opinion. Being able to set low carb high carb days. More calories on weekends etc. this surely would be top priority for client compliance? Any updates? Thanks.
