Makroa

Makroa is a Spanish meal-prep and food-delivery brand based in Madrid, offering weekly fitness meals that are portioned to each customer's individual macronutrient targets. Rather than selling fixed S/M/L portion sizes, the company cooks the same recipe with different gram amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fat depending on the customer's goals — for example, the same Thai Bowl contains 120 g of chicken for someone cutting and 250 g for someone bulking. Customers choose the week's dishes, Makroa cooks them to the customer's grams, and the whole batch is delivered chilled to the door in Madrid, ready to be reheated in about three minutes. The brand was founded in Madrid in 2026 by Mirko Milano, described as a 22-year-old entrepreneur who was frustrated that "eating healthy" meant either hours of cooking, weighing and macro calculation or generic delivery food that ignored nutritional needs. Makroa positions itself as a solution to the weekly burden of macro calculation, grocery shopping, cooking, weighing ingredients and cleaning — a routine the company estimates costs customers more than five hours per week. Makroa's method is explicitly science-based: it calculates each customer's macronutrient needs using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, which the company describes as the most precise medical standard and as validated by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The menu is built around dishes the company says people actually want to eat — curries, bowls, risottos and poke — cooked fresh with no preservatives and no ultra-processed ingredients, and always kept refrigerated. There is no mandatory subscription and no lock-in. The service is local and Madrid-only, with a local kitchen and same-day delivery. At the time of its pre-launch marketing, Makroa was offering early access to Madrid customers with €5 off a first order and priority access for those who signed up before launch. The brand has publicly and emphatically distinguished itself from Makro, the wholesale warehouse club chain, stating that it has no affiliation with that business and that its name derives from "macros" (macronutrients), not from the supermarket brand.

Makroa was founded in Madrid in 2026 by Mirko Milano, a 22-year-old entrepreneur. According to the company's own account, the idea came from a real problem: "eating healthy" forced a choice between two unsatisfactory options — cooking everything yourself, which meant hours of preparation, weighing ingredients and calculating macros, or ordering generic delivery food that did not respect the customer's nutritional needs. Milano's insight was that no one was assembling every plate with the exact grams of protein, carbohydrates and fat that a specific person's body needs, rather than using S/M/L sizes or approximations. The brand was built around that premise: the same recipe is portioned differently for different customers. The company gives the example of a Thai Bowl containing 120 g of chicken for a customer who is cutting and 250 g for a customer who is bulking. Makroa calculates each customer's macros using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, which it describes as the most precise medical standard and as validated by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The menu is designed around dishes the company believes people actually want to eat — curries, bowls, risottos and poke — cooked fresh with no preservatives and no ultra-processed ingredients, and always refrigerated. The service model is weekly and batch-based. Customers pick the week's dishes, Makroa cooks them to the customer's grams, and the whole batch arrives chilled at the door. The company says that by Wednesday, dinner is already in the fridge, and that meals can be reheated in about three minutes. There is no mandatory subscription and no lock-in. Makroa frames its value proposition as eliminating five recurring tasks — calculating macros and calories, weekly grocery shopping, cooking and meal prepping, weighing every ingredient, and cleaning and organizing — which it estimates cost customers more than five hours every week. Makroa operates only in Madrid, with a local kitchen and same-day delivery. Before its launch, the company ran an early-access campaign offering €5 off a first order plus priority access to customers who signed up in advance. The brand has also taken the unusual step of publicly disclaiming any connection to Makro, the wholesale warehouse club chain, stressing that its name comes from "macros" (macronutrients: protein, carbs and fat) and not from the supermarket brand, and that it is not a warehouse club.
