Profile

A user's profile drives their personalized nutrition experience. Macrofy calculates baseline metabolic rates (BMR) and macronutrient distributions on the backend, meaning your SDK or client app doesn't need to reinvent nutrition science. On this page, we'll look at retrieving and updating profiles.
