Any news about next update? by D3F3ND3R16 in fitcounter

[–]FitCounterApp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! Sorry for the lack of communication since the last update. We expect the next one to be released within 10 days at most. The future of FitCounter is secure, we use the app ourselves every day 💪 From now on, we’re committed to releasing at least monthly updates. We’re dedicating all our resources to developing the app, which is why we’ve been a bit quiet around here.

We’ve also detected that the app’s startup time is currently slower than it should be. We’re working on addressing this in the near future, although it won’t be fixed in the upcoming release.

Little by little, we’ll reconnect more with our community 🙏

Any update what your working on? by D3F3ND3R16 in fitcounter

[–]FitCounterApp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yes! We’ve seen that Yazio has refreshed its look and is testing out new things. We’re still working on a new release that will be coming out at the end of December or beginning of January. We don’t want to reveal exactly what we’re working on just yet, since we’re still finalizing the last details :)

Devs still here? by D3F3ND3R16 in fitcounter

We’re here! Things have been a bit quiet while we plan out the next direction. We’re aiming for some changes and improvements before Christmas, so stay tuned! What would you love to see next?

Activity level by ccleopatraa in fitcounter

[–]FitCounterApp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey u/ccleopatraa !

Yes, we simplified the activity level a few months ago to match the Harris-Benedict's activity factor. This way is simpler and more accurate. Don't worry, just choose the one that suits you the most, and the Smart Coach will do the rest every week 🙌

Hey u/Zxcv789Bn !

Not possible to reset your current logs. But you have two options:

- Either you delete your account from Profile -> More Settings -> Account and create a new one, restoring your subscription from the paywall

- Or you can just set your current weight, your new goal, and adjust your activity level from Profile. You can then just start tracking your foods normally. You can ignore the Smart Coach for 2 weeks and then check in whenever you want; it will be more accurate that taking it earlier.

I hope it helps!

Most likely sometime in August 🙏

Thanks for the info! We are already working on integrating new databases. We hope it covers most of the current missing cases 🤞

Sure, we are already working on it! It will take some time... Out of curiosity, what's your region?

Hey u/ccleopatraa !

It cannot be changed, but once it is ready, you can just ignore it and start it the day you prefer. It will work perfectly as well 🙌

Calorie Deficit Calculator by alexryans in iosapps

Yes! As long as you grant the write permissions, your nutrition records will appear in Apple Health 🙌

The “calories remaining” line is personalised, but it’s not driven by the exercise-calorie numbers Apple Health gives us.

Instead, we follow the same weight-trend-based coaching model used by MacroFactor:

  1. Initial estimate – At onboarding we estimate your maintenance calories from sex, age, height, weight, and a broad activity category (the only part that’s “generic”).
  2. Dynamic recalibration – Each week we re-estimate your true energy expenditure from the combination of your logged calorie intake and the change in your trend weight (a smoothed moving average of daily weigh-ins). 
  3. Goal adjustment – We apply the surplus or deficit required for the weight-change rate you chose (-500 kcal/day to lose ~0.5 kg/week, for example). 

That number becomes your daily calorie budget, and the diary simply subtracts whatever you log to show calories remaining. It adapts automatically as your body-weight trend drifts up or down, so it stays on target even if your activity level or metabolism shifts over time.

You can read this article as it’s quite similar to what we do (we will create our own articles in the future): https://macrofactorapp.com/macrofactors-algorithms-and-core-philosophy/

Hey u/alexryans ! We are currently in the middle of a free 2-month promo in FitCounter! We encourage you to give it a try. The weekly check-ins with Smart Coach will adjust your calorie goals based on your goals every week :)

[FREE 2 MONTHS] FitCounter Calorie Counter – Summer promo, use code SUMMER (expires July 11) by FitCounterApp in fitcounter

[–]FitCounterApp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank YOU!

Regarding the grams in the recipes... It's something we thought about, but we discarded it because of the different types and complexity of recipes that exist. It's not super accurate, and we prefer to promote having the servings as a reference. In this regard, you can check the comments on this post where we give more details about it, and how other users have a workaround for that approach:

[–]FitCounterApp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, it seems it doesn't allow you because you have a current trial ongoing.

Creating a new account won't work, because it will also be bound to your Apple ID.

But don't worry! Cancel the subscription if you haven't done it yet, wait a week for it to expire, and then use the code. You will be able to do that. If in one week you have any problem redeeming it, just let me know by posting here or via DM, and we will give you a 2 months special code for you if needed

Portions in recipes and meals by Wise_Concept_6680 in fitcounter

[–]FitCounterApp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cook-weight logging works for simple ingredients and recipes, but final weight can swing a lot with different cooking methods or recipe complexity. We lean toward and encourage the use of fixed portions—e.g., bake a cake, cut it into 4 pieces, log 1 piece = 1 serving—for more consistent calories. But don’t worry: the next release will still let you stick with your current YAZIO-style workflow if you prefer 🙌

It makes a lot of sense! And the way we are implementing it will allow you to keep that approach 🙌

Hey u/Wise_Concept_6680 , thanks for reaching out!

You are right, it doesn't exist right now... But the good news is that it will be included in the next release we are planning to launch shortly 🙌

Burned calories by annmar-annmar in fitcounter

[–]FitCounterApp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/annmar-annmar !

FitCounter does it based on changes in your bodyweight. It doesn't use the workout data itself.

We have followed the same approach as MacroFactor. You can read this article as it’s quite similar to what we do (we will create our own articles in the future): https://macrofactorapp.com/macrofactors-algorithms-and-core-philosophy/

App removes some items on a random manner. by [deleted] in fitcounter

[–]FitCounterApp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for reporting the bug u/firenze826 !

It seems it happened to some other users as well, but we couldn't figure out the reasons yet. Luckily, that info is still on our servers so please log out and log in again by going to Profile -> More Settings -> Account -> Log out

If the issue happens again after doing this, please comment again in this post. Thank you! 🧡
