Eating out shouldn't mean guessing. MacroCap has the real numbers for 180+ restaurant and fast-casual menus — over 7,000 items with calories, protein, carbs, fat, and sodium. Pick something that fits your day before you order, instead of reconstructing it afterward. BUILD THE MEAL, WATCH THE MACROS Assemble anything from a menu and see the totals update as you go. Swap the side, skip the cheese, double the protein — the numbers follow every change. SORT BY WHAT'S LEFT Rank a menu by what's closest to your remaining calories, highest in protein, or lowest in cals. You choose from what actually fits, instead of scrolling blind. FIND WHAT'S NEAR YOU Sort restaurants by distance, so your shortlist is places you can actually get to. SEARCH GROCERIES TOO Scan a barcode or search by name across USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts for packaged food and whole ingredients. YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE A calorie cap that counts down and a protein floor that counts up. Logging a meal takes about twenty seconds. SEE THE PATTERN Streaks, weekly recaps, and calorie and protein trends. The headline numbers are median-based, so one blowout day doesn't rewrite your whole week. APPLE HEALTH Write your logged meals to Health as dietary energy and macros whenever you want to. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Everything works signed out. Sign in with Apple or Google only if you want your history synced across devices. Nutrition data comes from restaurants' own published menu disclosures, USDA FoodData Central, and Open Food Facts. MacroCap is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any restaurant.
