Macrotarian has the most comprehensive and most accurate verified restaurant macro database in the world, and it is the only app that lets you discover restaurants with full verified macros near you. 40 million dishes, 240,000+ locations, 600+ brands across the US and UK, all sourced from official restaurant nutrition data and checked by a human. Nothing is crowdsourced. Nothing is AI-estimated. Nothing is wrong. No other macro tracker, calorie counter, or nutrition app comes close. • Find macro-friendly restaurants near you Open the map and see every restaurant near you with verified nutrition data. Browse the full menu with complete macros before you walk in. Pick what fits your targets. Log it in seconds. Not a general food tracker. A restaurant nutrition app built for people who eat out. • Why is this different from other macro trackers and calorie counters? Other calorie trackers make you search for a dish and hope a stranger entered it correctly. You get duplicate entries with different numbers. Some newer apps use AI to estimate restaurant macros and admit the data should not be treated as fact. Macrotarian gives you the actual numbers from the actual restaurant. US coverage: 300+ chains, 240,000+ Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, In-N-Out, Sweetgreen, Shake Shack, Panera, Five Guys, Subway, Taco Bell, McDonald's, Wendy's, Wingstop, Whataburger, Jersey Mike's, Popeyes, Dunkin', and hundreds more. UK coverage: 300+ chains, 20,000+ restuarants including Nando's, Greggs, Wagamama, Pret A Manger, Leon, Five Guys, KFC, McDonald's, Subway, Pizza Express, Tortilla, Itsu, and more. The most comprehensive verified restaurant nutrition database for the UK and US. • Find high protein low calorie meals in seconds Set your protein, calorie, carb, or fat targets and see which dishes at which restaurants near you match. High protein low calorie lunch? Low carb dinner? Macrotarian shows you what is available with verified data. Your high protein restaurant finder and low calorie meal planner for eating out. • Every dietary need covered Filter by keto, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, low carb, or halal. If you eat halal and need verified nutrition for halal restaurants near you, Macrotarian has that data. See which restaurants and dishes fit your diet with verified macros. • Customisations and variants Sizes, milk types, sides, crust options, cheese choices - verified macros for every variant. Not the base dish. The actual meal you order. • Macro camera Point your camera at any meal for an instant macro estimate powered by food recognition. Works for home-cooked food, independent restaurants, meal prep, or anywhere not in the database. A calorie scanner and macro estimator for any food. • Autopilot Tell it your macro targets and what you feel like eating. It searches verified restaurant menus near you and builds a meal plan that hits your protein, calorie, carb, and fat goals. • Track everything in one place Log restaurant meals from homemade meals, verified data or scanned estimates. Track daily calories, protein, carbs, and fat against your targets. Save favourites for quick access. Your food diary, meal logger, and macro tracker for eating out.

For athletes, bodybuilders, gym goers, and anyone tired of guessing macros at restaurants. A reliable restaurant calorie tracker, protein tracker, and macro counter for eating out. • How is the data verified?
