Hands free
Say “Log protein in Protein Buddy” to Siri on your iPhone, answer how many grams, and the entry lands in your day without the app opening. Siri tells you what is left, your widgets and Lock Screen update on the spot, and the entry behaves like any other one in your history.
Log protein in Protein Buddy, add protein to Protein Buddy, track protein in Protein Buddy. Apple requires the app name inside the phrase, so it is always part of what you say.
Siri asks how many grams and you say the number. Anything from 1 to 120 per entry, the same range the gram ruler in the app accepts.
Nothing opens. Siri confirms what is logged and what is left, the entry appears in your history like any other, and you can edit or delete it later.
Nothing about the entry is second class. It appears in your history with the rest of the day, counts toward your goal and your streak, and can be renamed, re-weighed, moved to another day or deleted like anything else you log.
On iOS 18 or later you can add Protein Buddy buttons to Control Center from Apple's own gallery, any subset of the four. One tap opens the app on that screen.
None of these log an amount by themselves, and there is no one tap preset that adds a fixed number of grams. A protein log should be something you meant, so every route ends with you saying or setting the number.
Siri is an iPhone feature, so Android does its glancing differently: a resizable home screen widget with quick actions into manual, voice, photo and Scout, and an ongoing progress notification you can turn on for the Lock Screen.
Straight answers
Yes, with Protein Buddy on iPhone. Say Log protein in Protein Buddy, answer how many grams when Siri asks, and the entry is saved without the app opening. Siri confirms the amount and how much protein is left for the day.
It lands in your history with everything else from that day, counts toward your daily goal and your streak, and can be edited, moved to another day or deleted. Protein logged this way also reaches Apple Health if you have sync switched on.
No. The entry is written in the background and your widgets and Lock Screen update at once. The app catches up the next time you open it, and the entry is a normal one you can edit, move or delete.
On iOS 18 or later you can add four Protein Buddy buttons to Control Center: log manually, scan a meal, say a meal and Protein Scout. Each one opens the app on that screen. They are doors, not one tap logs: the grams are always yours to give.
Yes. The Log Protein action appears in the Shortcuts app, where the grams can be passed straight into it instead of being asked for, so you can build your own routine around it.
Add a widget. Protein Buddy has Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets showing the day as grams or as a percentage, with quick actions to start a log, and on iPhone a Live Activity keeps the day in view while you are logging.
The fastest log there is
Get Protein Buddy, set your daily goal, and let Siri do the typing for the rest of the week.
