CampusFuel is a calorie and macro tracker built around your dining hall. Not a generic food database. It has the actual menu, at your actual school, updated daily. Generic trackers make you guess. Was that chicken 4oz or 6oz? Which of the 40 "grilled chicken" entries is the right one? CampusFuel already knows what's being served at your dining hall today, with real nutrition data attached. Pick the hall, pick the item, done. YOUR CAMPUS, ALREADY IN THE APP • 300+ campuses covered, with over 200,000 menu items • Every dining hall and station on your campus, with menus that update daily • Full nutrition for each item: calories, protein, carbs, and fat • Log a full meal in three taps LOG ANYTHING, ANYWHERE • Snap a photo of your plate and get an instant estimate • Scan barcodes for packaged food • Scan nutrition labels straight off the box • Search millions of foods for meals off campus • Build custom foods and multi-ingredient meals • Save your regulars for one-tap logging AI COACH THAT KNOWS TONIGHT'S MENU Ask "what should I eat to hit my protein today?" and get an answer based on what's actually being served, right now, at your dining hall — and what you've already logged. No other nutrition app can do this. TARGETS BUILT AROUND YOU • Calorie and macro targets from your age, height, weight, activity level, goal, and pace • Calculated with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, the standard used in clinical nutrition • Adjust targets any time as your goals change TRACK PROGRESS YOUR WAY • Daily dashboard for calories and macros at a glance • Weight log with trends over time • Progress photos that never leave your phone — stored on your device, never uploaded • Streaks to keep momentum • Calorie rollover and Apple Health integration for burned calories GENTLE MODE Tracking numbers isn't right for everyone, and it isn't right all the time. Gentle Mode hides calorie counts and targets entirely, so you can keep logging what you eat without a single number on screen. Switch it on or off whenever you want. There's also a Safety Center with resources, one tap away from anywhere in the app. BUILT BY A STUDENT CampusFuel started because no nutrition app had dining hall data, and eating on a meal plan meant guessing at every meal. It now covers hundreds of campuses — but it's still built by someone who eats in a dining hall. Whether you're trying to lose weight, put on muscle, hit your protein, or just eat a bit more deliberately, CampusFuel works with the food that's actually in front of you. CampusFuel is an independent, student-created app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any university.
