Eat Enough. Make Progress. Feel Better. This app isn’t here to make you feel bad or tell you to restrict yourself. It’s here to help you eat enough—especially enough protein—to fuel your goals in the gym and in life. Whether you're lifting to get stronger, gain muscle, or just stay consistent, this is a low-stress way to stay on track with your nutrition. I built this for myself because I needed an easy way to make sure I was eating enough protein. After seeing how helpful it was, I realized others might benefit too—so I’m sharing it. What You Can Do: Log meals with macro breakdowns Track your daily protein, carbs, fat, and calorie totals Review your past days and learn from them Save regular meals for quick entry Add personal notes about how you’re feeling or what you want to remember Set macro goals based on your body, activity level, and fitness goals What You Won’t Find Here: Calorie restriction Diet culture pressure This is about building—not cutting. It’s about tracking without stress. It’s for people who lift, train, or just want to feel stronger and nourished.
