## What is Protein Counter and Tracker?

Not eating enough protein can lead to muscle wasting & weakness, osteoporosis, impaired growth & development, poor wound healing, susceptibility to infections &  illnesses, depression & anxiety, brittle hair, dry skin, weak nails, feelings of hunger & a predisposition to being overweight or obese. The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) 2025–2030 recommend a daily protein serving of 1.2–1.6g per kg body weight. Use this personal calculator and protein diary app to achieve a healthy protein intake, especially if you're at risk of protein deficiency because you're on a plant-based, dairy-free or weight-loss diet or you're over 40 to prevent age-related muscle wasting (sarcopenia). Supplements & high-protein processed foods are not the answer because they do not provide the thousands of polyphenols & other natural chemicals found in whole food needed for optimal health & to prevent disease. 
Set your daily target protein intake based on guidance provided in the app & your preferences for weights of food (g or oz). 
Record food & beverage consumption using the barcode scanner, dictation, search or by favoriting foods & using the serving sizes provided (which can be changed at any time). Tap the notepad to add notes. Compare the protein content of different foods by tapping the Compare button on the "Foods" screen.
Monitor daily & long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronize data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, & share data with Apple's HealthKit. 
Add your own foods & recipes & change serving sizes to personalise the app's 400-item database for you.
All food & beverage popups indicate whether the item is a plant, good prebiotic, probiotic or ultra-processed (UPF) to inform a healthy diet & whether they are high or low FODMAP per serving where data are available to support people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). 
Useful lists show protein content of foods per 1oz or 100g and serving, which can be toggled from high to low & low to high. Also useful UPF, unprocessed plant, prebiotic, probiotic, high & low FODMAP food lists.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2018-02-08*

This app is limited and confusing. Definitely not worth the money

**Developer response:** The app has been redesigned using new Apple technologies. The foods and amounts you eat can be recorded easily and quickly using the barcode scanner, speech recognition (touch the microphone icon), or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided. Your progress towards your target daily intake will be visible immediately in real-time. You can also view your progress over time on the Month view dashboard, and export food diaries and protein intake into a spreadsheet for your own information or to share with healthcare providers. Apple's HealthKit functionality is integrated in the app's user interface so you can share data with Apple's Health app. You can also synchronize the app with all your Apple devices and First Line Medical Communications Ltd apps. The serving sizes are mainly those suggested by USDA Food Data Central, but can be changed at any time via the "Add food" tab to your choice of measurement eg g, oz, cups, pieces. The app is preloaded with 325+ common (mainly healthy) foods and drinks and you can add your own branded and other foods and recipes at any time. This means the app does not require access to the Internet (except on first use of the barcode scanner for a food) or registration, does not collect your data or require additional payments, and there is no advertising.
