Track protein by photo, voice, barcode or manual entry, set a personalized target and see how much is left today.

Use it for strength training, muscle gain, recovery, maintaining muscle during weight loss, GLP-1 use, or a more consistent protein routine. No account is required. Manual and barcode logging are free forever.

BUILT FOR A FOCUSED PROTEIN GOAL

• People who want a focused protein tracker instead of a full calorie or macro tracker.
• People using GLP-1 medication who want to keep a daily protein target visible.
• Anyone switching from a full calorie tracker to a focused protein log.

LOG PROTEIN IN SECONDS

• AI photo scan: snap your meal and get an estimate of its protein in seconds. No database digging, no manual math.
• Voice: say "chicken wrap and a protein shake" and it is 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.

MEET YOUR AI ASSISTANT

An AI protein tracker you can talk to. It knows your goal, today's log, what is left, your eating style and whether you are on GLP-1 medication.

• 60g left and it is evening? It breaks the gap into small, realistic protein moments instead of one enormous dinner. That matters on GLP-1 medication, or any low-appetite day.
• Ask for a 20g snack and get real options with the grams next to them, from foods sold where you live.
• Ask what is in any food. "How much protein is in 200g of cottage cheese?" gets a straight number, calories and carbs too if you ask.
• Eating out? Send a photo of the menu and it ranks the best protein choices.
• Log from the chat: describe the meal or send a photo, then tap the card.

It replies in your language.

A TARGET BUILT AROUND YOU

A short quiz works as a protein calculator: it sets your daily 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.

CAN I BRING PROTEIN HISTORY FROM ANOTHER APP?

Most nutrition apps save protein to the health app on your phone. Protein Buddy syncs both ways. Connect your health app 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 too. Your data is never locked in.

PROGRESS WITHOUT OPENING THE APP

Widgets for your home screen 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, date. Streaks and insights recalculate automatically, so a forgotten dinner never unfairly breaks your streak.

DOES PROTEIN BUDDY WORK OFFLINE?

No signal? Photo and voice logs are saved on your phone and sent for recognition when you are back online. Nothing gets lost.

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.

PROTEIN FIRST, WITHOUT THE CLUTTER

Protein helps you stay full, maintain muscle and recover after training. Most apps bury it under dozens of numbers you will never use, then lock the basics behind a subscription. Protein Buddy tracks the one number that matters and keeps the everyday tools free. All features are based on scientific studies of building healthy habits.
