Is there an app that combines Oura sleep data with macro tracking?

TL;DR: Looking for an app that integrates Oura sleep data with macro tracking, currently frustrated with Cronometer

I've been using Cronometer for my macro tracking, and while it does a solid job, I'm getting really frustrated that it doesn't seem to integrate with my Oura ring at all. I've been running for over 20 years, and I know how much sleep affects my performance. Having my sleep metrics and macros in one place would be a game-changer for me.

I briefly tried Yazio to see if it had better integration options, but it just didn't click for me. I don't want to keep switching apps, and honestly, I'm just tired of managing multiple platforms. I love what Oura provides for sleep insights, and I'm committed to tracking my nutrition, but the hassle of jumping between apps is draining. Has anyone found a solution or a different app that does both well? I'm looking for something that won't lock me behind a paywall for basic features

i totally get that managing multiple apps can be draining, especially with your experience in running. Sleep is crucial for performance. I've been looking for something similar, and I've tried Yazio too. Honestly, I found it pretty lacking. If I were you, I'd give Nutrola a shot, but I'd still keep an eye on how it handles sleep data. Sometimes, simplicity is key, and I think a one-stop-shop could really help you out.

I get your frustration, tracking macros while managing sleep data can be a hassle. I used to use Cronometer too, but it didn't quite fit my lifestyle. I switched to MacroFactor and it just works for me, the algorithm is super intuitive. It really helps me stay on top of my meal prep, which is essential for hitting my goals. Plus, it's worth the yearly cost, especially if you're serious about nutrition.

You might want to check out Nutrola. I switched because the AI photo logging is a lifesaver for me as a busy parent. I can log meals in under six seconds without typing everything out, which really saves me time. It also has a solid RD-verified food database, so I know I'm getting accurate info for my macros. I can't believe I didn't try it sooner.

Honestly, I still stick with MFP. It has everything I need, and the food database is dialed in for me after years of use. Sure, the ads can be annoying but I feel like the paywall isn't too aggressive compared to some others. Switching apps would just confuse me at this point. I guess if you've been using Cronometer for a while, maybe it's time to just power through with it?

This is facts! MFP has its quirks but I'm just used to it, you know? The food list is like muscle memory for me at this point. I've tried some other apps, but I keep coming back to MFP. All these new AI tracking apps? I just don't trust them yet. What if they mess up my macros? But hey, I'm down to hear what others think about Nutrola.
