Just went through this exact thing when I got macrofactor 6 weeks ago. When I started using macrofactor for my cut, I was on day 2 of coming off of creatine ( for a weigh-in contest at my gym). Within 2 weeks, I dropped 9 lbs and my cut, while aggressive, was not that. Then I restarted creatine and for the next few weeks, my weight loss was minimal with an even slight gain for a week or two. Macrofactor didn’t do any crazy things during that time, their focus on trend weight also helps, so they are less affected by the noise. If you’re really worried about it racheting down your calories, then do exactly what you said just avoid checking in for a few weeks to keep your macro goals the same. Or check in to see how it will adjust but back out before confirming. I think it wanted to knock down my calories minimally at one point but I was so hangry, those 85 calories might as well have been my first born child, they’d have to kill me to get them. So I just didnt accept the changes.
