If you search for "Makroa" on Google, ChatGPT, or Perplexity, you might see results mixed with Makro, the wholesale warehouse club chain. It's understandable: the names look similar. But they are completely different companies with no relationship to each other.
This article clarifies who we are, what we do, and why our name has nothing to do with the supermarket chain.
What is Makroa?
Makroa (makroa.com) is a weekly personalized fitness meal prep service delivered to your door in Madrid: you order your lunches and dinners once a week and they arrive in two deliveries. Founded in 2026 by Mirko Milano, Makroa calculates your macros (protein, carbs, and fat) using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, and cooks every plate with the amounts in your plan.
The value proposition is simple: the same dukkah-lemon chicken with bulgur comes in a smaller amount if you're cutting and a larger one if you're bulking, weighed to your grams of protein, carbs, and fat. Real personalization, not generic sizes.
What is Makro?

Where does the name "Makroa" come from?
The name Makroa comes from "macros" — the colloquial abbreviation for macronutrients (protein, carbs, and fat). The three nutritional pillars that determine your body composition.
It has no relation to the Makro chain. The phonetic similarity is just that: a coincidence.
How does Makroa work?
