Track protein fast: daily goal, calories & macros at a glance. No subscription.
Protein Snap is your protein tracker and calorie counter – fast, simple, no subscription. Set a protein goal, log your food, done. If you like, track calories, fat and carbs (macros) too – for weight loss, muscle gain or simply eating better.
SNAP YOUR PLATE, SEE THE PROTEIN
Take a photo of your meal – AI estimates protein, calories, fat and carbs for the whole portion. The photo stays visible, and you can correct the detected ingredients and recalculate.
LOG IT YOUR WAY
• Describe it: type or dictate "2 eggs, a slice of wholegrain bread, a skyr" – each item becomes an entry
• Barcode scanner: scan, done. Even fresh fruit and vegetables without nutrition data are recognised
• Label: photograph the nutrition table instead of typing it
• Quick add: recent, frequent, favourites and your saved meals – one tap
OVER 9,000 FOODS
Built in: nutrition values from the German Nutrient Database (BLS 4.0, around 7,100 foods and dishes) and the Swiss food composition database, plus branded products. Pick a portion – the app calculates protein, calories and macros. Sources below.
RECIPES WITH PORTION MATHS
Cooked a chili, 1800 g in the pot, ate 400 g? Enter the total weight, pick your grams when you eat – protein, calories, fat and carbs are calculated proportionally.
YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE
Big protein ring, macro bars, water row and a ring with a calorie budget for each meal. Still missing a few grams? The app suggests high-protein foods that fit.
PROGRESS DASHBOARD
Tiles you arrange yourself: average protein per day, goal rate, streak, best day, 30-day chart, month view, year heatmap, weekly score, water and weight with trend line.
WEIGHT LOSS & MUSCLE GAIN: ADAPTIVE CALORIE GOAL
Log your weight or import it from Health Connect – the trend line smooths daily swings. If you like, the app adjusts your calorie goal every week to your real expenditure: maintain, lose or gain. Your protein goal follows your weight.
WEAR OS & WIDGETS
Protein ring and quick logging on your wrist, plus a tile one swipe from your watch face. Home screen widgets in three sizes.
PROTEIN COACH & REMINDERS
The coach shows how you spread your protein across the day, and AI reviews your last 14 days with concrete tips. Reminders only show up when your daily goal is still open.
TRAINING & HEALTH CONNECT
Workout plan templates with live tracking. With Health Connect: training days detected automatically (+20% protein goal), burned calories credited, protein, water and weight synced.
CALCULATE YOUR PROTEIN NEEDS
The protein calculator suggests your daily goal from weight, activity and goal (maintain, lose weight, build muscle) – based on the DGE reference values, with sources cited in the app.
