MacroFactor Nutrition costs $71.99 per year in the US after its trial, while MacroCodex is free. Both can start with an estimated TDEE and refine it using your calorie intake and weight trend. MacroFactor also includes food logging and coached nutrition targets in one app; MacroCodex asks you to record calorie totals, so you can use a separate food logger. The annual price comes from MacroFactor's current subscription guide; taxes and regional prices may differ.
MacroFactor starts with a formula-based expenditure estimate, then adjusts it as you log nutrition and body weight. MacroCodex likewise gives you an initial estimate in the app and updates it from your records.
CalorieCodex, just like MacroCodex, is a completely paywall-free, ad-free calorie-tracking app. You can use it to track your meals using photos, voice, or simply by chatting with an agent. AI logging requires a connected provider, such as a supported account or API key; the provider may have its own usage limits or charges. Manual logging does not require AI setup. Download here for Android only. It's a serious competitor to Cronometer, MyFitnessPal, CalAI, and MacroFactor while being completely free. It contains over 3,000,000+ food products.
Treat a static TDEE result as a starting estimate, then check it against several weeks of intake and weight data. This is an independent guide; MacroCodex is not affiliated with or endorsed by Jeff Nippard or MacroFactor.
If your question is how many calories to eat for your goal, see the Jeff Nippard calorie calculator guide for the step from maintenance calories to a daily target.
A practical way to find your TDEE
- Get your initial estimate in the MacroCodex app. Enter your details to see a starting maintenance-calorie estimate. You can also enter an estimate you already trust.
- Track what happens. Record your daily calorie totals and weigh yourself consistently. Look at the weight trend across weeks, not a single day's change.
- Let the app refine your TDEE. MacroCodex updates its estimate as your intake and weight data accumulate. Read the adaptive TDEE guide to understand the method and its limits.
Short-term changes in water, glycogen, and food in your digestive system can hide a real trend. Partial food logging can also distort the calculation. Give the data time before changing your calorie target after one surprising weigh-in.

Common questions
Does Jeff Nippard recommend MacroCodex?
We make no such claim. Jeff is a MacroFactor co-owner; MacroCodex is a separate product.
Is a static TDEE calculator useless?
No. It is a practical first estimate when you have no intake and weight history. MacroCodex includes that starting step in the app, then revises the estimate as your own data accumulates. How accurate the revised estimate becomes depends on the consistency of your logs.
