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.

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.
