Macro Champ - Barcode Scanner, Calorie Counter & Macro Tracker Macro Champ is a simple app for counting calories, tracking macros, and keeping a food diary. No account, no subscription, and it works offline. Most people start using it because they want to: - See how many calories are in the food they eat - Hit a daily protein goal - Lose weight by staying in a calorie deficit - Plan and log their meal prep for the week - Keep a food diary without paying for a subscription Scan a Barcode to See the Nutrition Macro Champ now has a built-in barcode scanner. Point your camera at the barcode on any packaged food, and it shows you the calories, protein, carbs, and fat straight away. You don't have to type the name or search for it. Looking for a food scanner app? Scan a barcode to instantly see calories, protein, carbs, and fat before you log your food. The barcode scanner is free with unlimited scans. Every food you scan is automatically saved to your personal food library, making it easy to find and log again without scanning. Your saved foods stay available offline, so you can track them even without an internet connection. When you scan a barcode, the food is added to your food library instead of being logged automatically. Review the nutrition facts, choose your serving size, and log it only when you're ready. What You Can Do in Macro Champ - Scan a barcode to count calories and macros - Track macros (protein, carbs, and fat) - Count calories and see your daily intake - Keep a food diary that works offline - Build and save your own meals - Track cooked food more accurately - Add foods you eat often with Quick Add - Create your own custom foods - Save your favorite foods - Track your weight and measurements - Use the whole app without making an account Good For: - Scanning barcodes for calories - Counting calories - Tracking macros and protein - Keeping a food diary - Weight loss and calorie deficit - Meal prep - Gym and high-protein diets - Keto and low-carb Following IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros)? Macro Champ keeps flexible dieting easy to stick with. Save the Meals You Eat Often If you eat the same things a lot, you do not want to log them one food at a time. Build a meal once, like chicken and rice, overnight oats, or your usual breakfast, save it, and add the whole thing in a couple of taps next time. Track Cooked Food More Accurately Food changes weight when you cook it, so raw and cooked numbers are different. Macro Champ lets you log meals by their cooked weight, which makes home-cooked meals much more accurate. Quick Add for Faster Logging Quick Add keeps your recent foods one tap away, so you spend less time searching and more time getting on with your day. See Complete Nutrition Information, Not Just Calories For every food, you can see: - Calories - Protein - Carbs - Fat - Saturated Fat - Fiber - Sugar - Sodium - Potassium - Cholesterol Your Data Stays on Your Phone - No sign-up needed - Works fully offline - Private by default People often search for things like: "Which app scans a barcode and shows the calories?" "Is there a calorie counter that works offline?" "How do I track my macros for weight loss?" "What is a simple way to count protein for the gym?" "Can I track food without making an account?" If that sounds like you, give Macro Champ a try. Whether your goal is weight loss, building muscle, meal prep, or simply eating healthier, Macro Champ makes calorie counting and macro tracking simple. Download today and start scanning barcodes, tracking calories, and hitting your protein goals.
