Create your recipes once. Log them in one tap every time you eat them again. VolumeMacros is a calorie counter, macro tracker, protein tracker, and food diary built around the meals you actually eat. Instead of rebuilding the same breakfast, shake, lunch, or meal prep every day, save it as a reusable recipe and log the complete meal in seconds. RECIPES BUILT FOR REPEAT LOGGING Most of us eat many of the same meals every week. VolumeMacros makes those meals quick to track: - Build recipes from individual ingredients - Calculate calories and macros automatically - Adjust quantities, serving sizes, and ingredients - Save meals to your personal recipe library - Log a complete saved recipe with one tap - Browse starter recipes for inspiration - Favorite, organize, and share recipes Build each recipe once, then keep using it whenever that meal returns to your routine. FAST CALORIE AND MACRO TRACKING Search the built-in food library, scan food barcodes, create custom foods, or quickly relog recent foods and favorites. Track calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat without entering the same items repeatedly. Review and edit your nutrition history, or copy a previous day when your routine stays the same. NUTRITION TARGETS FOR YOUR GOALS VolumeMacros is made for athletes, gym-goers, bodybuilders, and anyone working toward a fitness goal. Choose whether you want to cut, maintain, bulk, or recomp. VolumeMacros estimates personalized calorie and macro targets using your body, activity level, target weight, and preferred pace. Follow a calorie deficit during a cut, maintain your weight, support muscle gain during a bulk, or work toward body recomposition. MORE THAN A CALORIE COUNTER - Track water, caffeine, and supplements - Review micronutrients and detailed nutrition - Record body-weight check-ins and follow weight trends - Explore daily and weekly intake statistics - Monitor nutrition adherence and goal progress - Import your latest TDEE estimate from VolumeLogic - Connect supported nutrition and weight data with Apple Health or Health Connect OPTIONAL VOLUMEMACROS PRO VolumeMacros Pro adds unlimited recipes and custom foods, unlimited barcode scanning, advanced statistics, adaptive coaching, automatic calorie target updates, detailed micronutrients, body-weight trends, cloud backup, health integrations, widget customization, premium themes, and more.
