MacrosFirst lets you customize how foods are displayed throughout the app, so you can dial in the balance of detail and readability that works best for you.
Your Food Layout settings apply everywhere a food appears — your daily Journal, food search results, Daily Meals, saved meals, recipes, and more — so the look stays consistent across the entire app.
Go to the More tab in the bottom right corner
Tap Food Layout
A live preview of a food appears at the top of the screen. As you change each setting below, the preview updates instantly so you can find the look you like before you leave the screen.
Choose between Smaller, Regular, and Bigger text. Smaller text makes each food more compact so you can see more at once, while larger text is easier to read. Pick the size that gives you the right balance of legibility and compactness.
Show or hide the small icon that appears next to each food. Some people love the visual cue, while others find it distracting or prefer a tidier list. Turn icons off for a more streamlined look, or leave them on if you enjoy them.
Choose whether the protein, carbs, fat, and calorie values shown under each food appear in color or in plain text. Color-coding makes it quicker to scan and tell the macros apart at a glance, while turning color off gives a more minimal, uniform appearance.
Turn this on to display the gram-weight equivalent of the serving size next to each food. For example, if you log 3 cookies and one cookie weighs 10 g, the food will read “3 cookie (30 g)”. This makes it easy to understand exactly how big a particular serving size is.
A few things to know about this setting:
It is turned off by default. Turn it on any time if you'd like to see gram weights.
If the serving unit is already grams, the weight won't be shown twice.
If a food has no gram weight available, no gram weight will be shown for it.
Your Food Layout settings are saved to your account and sync across all of your devices, so the app always looks the way you set it up — even when you log in somewhere new.
