need some guidanc! I am 5’3” and currently 125 lbs skinny fat, Im currently at the stage of losing the last 10-15% of body fat for summer. My current macros are 125p, 60f, 180c since Feb 4th and the fat loss has been sloooww. I want to lose the last bit by summer time. I strength training at least 3-4 times a week and walk at least 8k steps a day… should I decrease my macros slightly to see the change or what is recommende?!!
Today's the day — Better is officially on Google Play.
For those who haven't seen my previous posts: Better is a fitness app that combines workout tracking and nutrition logging into one app. The gap I noticed was that apps like Hevy and Strong are great for workouts but don't touch nutrition, and MyFitnessPal is great for food but doesn't do workout tracking properly.
The build journey:

iOS is coming this week. Would love any feedback from people who currently use multiple apps for fitness tracking.
I was hoping to get some help determining my macros please. The results I amcoming up with through various methods are all over the place.
59 year old female, 5,5", 160 pounds, goal weight 145 pounds, combo strength train and cardio 3 times per week for 60 minutes each. Looking for 1.5 to 2 lbs weight loss per week.
I was on IIFYM previously 6 years ago, but this before menopause really hit, and I was at 121 Protein, 36 fat, 140 carbs.
Quick question for anyone here who's tried a few macro/fitness apps:
What made you stop using the last one?
I'm asking because I just shipped my own and I want to make sure I'm not repeating the mistakes. The pattern I keep hearing is some version of:
- Paywall hit on day 3
- Too many features I never used
- Felt like a database, not a coach
- Tracking was tedious
So I built the opposite. Single page (no install — works in any browser), AI coach that knows your stats + history, free tier that's actually usable, build your own routines or have AI generate one. 130+ high-protein recipes built in.
Open to anyone trying it for a week and telling me what's broken. Drop a comment and I'll send the link.
What's the #1 thing your last macro tracker got wrong for you?
