Macros.gg is the fun, free AI macro tracker, calorie counter, and food log. A calorie counter and macro tracker with no ads and no paywalled basics: track protein, carbs, fat, and calories, log meals with AI, and learn what your food is really doing for you. LOG MEALS IN SECONDS Snap a photo of your plate or type a description of what you ate — Magic Log's AI estimates the macros so you don't have to measure anything. You can also scan barcodes for free, reuse saved foods, or set up recurring meals. Most meals take seconds. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Set personalized protein, carb, and fat targets for cutting, maintaining, or bulking — your calorie goal is computed automatically. Log your weight and watch the trend line, not the daily noise. Whether you're after weight loss, muscle gain, or just eating better, the numbers stay simple. LEARN FROM YOUR DATA More than a food log — it teaches you. Trends chart how you actually eat (patterns start showing up within the first week), and the AI nutrition assistant answers questions about your own data, not generic advice. NEVER TRACK ALONE Team up in parties — private accountability crews that hit their goals together — and bring your questions to a Discord community where real people actually answer them. MOTIVATION BUILT IN Daily quests, streaks, and XP give you a reason to come back until the habit sticks. Complete daily challenges, earn promotion points, and climb the ranks.

Macros is a fast, simple way to track what you eat. Log a food and it lands in a daily ring showing calories against your goal and how your protein, carbs, and fat are stacking up. Every meal gets its own line with a mini macro bar, so breakfast, lunch, and dinner each tell their own story. WHERE YOUR MACROS COME FROM Tap any slice of the ring and it lights up that macro while a leaderboard ranks the exact foods behind it. See that most of today's protein came from your chicken, not your oats. It is the fastest way to understand a day, not just record it. SEE IT BEFORE YOU LOG Every food previews exactly what it adds to your day before you commit. No surprises after the fact. ACCURACY YOU CAN TRUST Food databases are crowdsourced and sometimes wrong. Macros lets you check a food against its Nutrition Facts label the first time you log it. Confirm once and your numbers are locked in, never quietly overwritten later. SET A GOAL, GET YOUR NUMBERS Not sure how much to eat? Enter your stats and pick a goal, from maintain to lean cut, cut, lean bulk, or bulk, and Macros sets your daily calories and macro targets for you using a standard TDEE calculation. No spreadsheets, no guesswork. FIND ANY FOOD FAST Scan a barcode or search a large food database. Save custom foods and build reusable meals for the things you eat all the time. MAKE IT YOURS Prefer your own numbers? Set calorie and macro targets by hand in grams or percentages, with a flexible macros mode for the days that do not go to plan. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH Your calories and macros flow into Apple Health, so the rest of your fitness picture stays in sync.
