## What is BarbellBites?

Workouts. Nutrition. PRs. Streaks. Challenges. Everything you need to level up your fitness, without the bloat. Built by lifters, for lifters.

Your training builds the muscle. Your nutrition decides how fast it shows. BarbellBites keeps your workout log and food diary in one place, with free barcode scanning and zero ads.

NEW: SNAP A MEAL
No scales, no typing. Photograph your plate and Snap a meal, new in Premium, estimates the foods, portions, calories and macros in seconds. Check them, tweak any portion and log it in one tap.

NEW: A PERSONAL COACH IN YOUR POCKET
A good coach checks in every week, works out what you're really burning, adjusts your targets and tells you exactly what to fix. Your Coach, new in Premium, does all of that, every single week, for a fraction of what a personal coach costs.

At every weekly check-in, Your Coach:
• Works out your real calorie burn from what you eat and weigh, not a generic formula
• Reads your weight trend, smoothed so daily ups and downs don't throw you
• Sets new calorie and protein targets you can apply in one tap
• Tells you the one thing to change this week
• Tracks how consistently you log and train
• Keeps a history of every check-in, so you can see how far you've come

No waiting for replies. No guesswork. Just a clear plan every week, built from your own results. Try it free for 14 days.

LOG YOUR LIFTS. SEE YOUR PROGRESS.
Record sets, reps and weight in a few taps without slowing down your session. Look back at every workout, track personal records and follow your progressive overload, so you walk into every session knowing what to beat. Add custom exercises to match the way you train.

NAIL YOUR NUTRITION
Scan a barcode, search or tap a recent meal to log food in seconds. Set calorie, protein, carb and fat targets, then follow your daily totals and weekly averages. Cutting, bulking or maintaining, you'll always know where you stand.

BRING YOUR MATES INTO IT
Add friends, compare progress and join step or workout challenges. Climb the leaderboards and give each other a reason to keep showing up.

GET REWARDED FOR SHOWING UP
Build your streak, hit milestones and unlock achievement badges. Earn points and spend them on avatars, borders and banners in the shop.

SET GOALS. SMASH THEM.
Set goals for lifts, calories, macros, weight, and steps, and watch your progress stack up.

CONNECT WITH APPLE HEALTH
Sync your steps from Apple Health to track daily activity and take part in step challenges.
