Common questions
How does it calculate macros?
MacroScan reads the recipe's ingredient list and looks up each ingredient in the USDA FoodData Central database - the same database used by most nutrition tracking apps. It converts quantities to grams, calculates macros from the per-100g nutritional data, and sums everything up across servings.
How accurate is it?
For common ingredients at standard quantities, typically within 5-10% of what you'd get manually entering into MyFitnessPal. Accuracy improves with Pro's AI-enhanced ingredient parsing. It won't be exact because home cooking varies, but it's close enough to know whether a recipe fits your targets.
What sites does it work on?
Free: AllRecipes, Food Network, Food.com, Bon Appetit, Epicurious, Simply Recipes, Serious Eats, Delish, Tasty, NYT Cooking, Budget Bytes, Skinnytaste. Pro: any site that includes Schema.org Recipe markup (which is most major recipe sites and food blogs).
How do I get my license key?
After payment, you'll receive an email with your license key within a few minutes. Enter it in the extension popup under Account. The key works across any Chrome browser you're signed into.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Self-service cancellation via the Stripe billing portal. No emails required, no hoops. Your Pro access continues through the end of your billing period.
Does it collect my browsing history?
No. MacroScan only activates on recipe sites. Nutrition lookups go directly to the USDA public API. License validation sends only your license key to verify it - no browsing data, no personal information.
