If you switch to a static expenditure estimate, MacroFactor will not update your nutrition targets week-to-week, because program updates are based on dynamic changes to your estimated expenditure. A static expenditure implies no need for weekly updates or adjustments. However, if you switch back to a dynamic expenditure estimate, MacroFactor’s expenditure algorithm will pick right back in real time, as if you’d been using a dynamic expenditure estimate the whole time. So, if you’d like to use a static expenditure estimate for a period of time, there’s no risk in doing so.
