Switching from a calorie tracker? Track protein with a personalized goal that accounts for GLP-1 use. Log by photo, voice or barcode, or scan a restaurant menu for ideas.
Hit your protein goal without tracking every calorie.
Log in seconds by photo, voice, barcode or manual entry. No account required. Manual and barcode logging are free forever.
LOG PROTEIN IN SECONDS
• AI photo scan: snap your meal and get its protein in seconds. No database digging, no manual math.
• Voice: say “chicken wrap and a protein shake” and it’s logged. Hands free, mid-meal, mid-workout.
• Barcode: scan packaged products for instant protein data. Free and unlimited.
• Manual: know your numbers? Add them in two taps. Always free.
SWITCHING FROM A CALORIE COUNTER? BRING YOUR HISTORY.
Most nutrition apps only save to Apple Health. Protein Buddy syncs both ways. Connect Apple Health to import protein logged in other apps, so your charts, patterns and insights work from day one. New entries from Protein Buddy are written back to Health too. Your data is never locked in.
A TARGET BUILT AROUND YOU
A short quiz sets your daily protein target from your weight, height, age, activity, goal and GLP-1 use, or you can enter your own number. Prefer a steady start? Your target ramps up gradually over two weeks.
LOG FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN
Widgets for your Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy keep progress in sight: a friendly companion builds up block by block as you eat, with one-tap shortcuts into photo, voice or manual logging.
YOUR HISTORY, IN YOUR HANDS
Add or edit entries on any day, even in the past: grams, time, even the date. Streaks and insights recalculate automatically, so a forgotten dinner never unfairly breaks your streak.
WORKS WITHOUT INTERNET
No signal? Photo and voice logs are saved on your phone and finish the moment you’re back online. Nothing gets lost.
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Your log lives on your phone. Photo and voice recognition send only the meal being analyzed. Signing in with Apple or Google is optional and adds backup, sync across devices and an easy move to your next phone.
SEE CONSISTENCY PAY OFF
Daily streaks, calendar history and weekly insights on timing, portions and rhythm show how steady protein turns into energy, recovery and strength.
WHY PROTEIN FIRST?
Protein helps you stay full, maintain muscle and recover after training. Most apps bury it under dozens of numbers you’ll never use, then lock the basics behind a subscription. We track the one number that matters and keep the everyday tools free. All features are based on scientific studies of building healthy habits.
Set your target, then log your first meal.
