Protein Ring
Read full descriptionHide full description
Protein Ring turns a plain sentence about what you ate into an honest protein number. Type what you actually ate, like "2 eggs, oats, and a protein shake". In seconds you see your protein, calories and the nutrients you're low on. Check the estimate, change what's wrong, and watch the ring fill. No photos, no barcodes, no food search. Key features: - A protein target sized from your goal, your training week and your body details, with Apple Health import if you want it. - Meal logging in your own words, typed or dictated. - Every estimate is shown for you to check before it counts. Change the words and it is estimated again. - Log again: repeat a meal you have had, with last time's estimate. - Insights over your last 28 days: how often protein reached its target, macros against your plan, and which nutrients fall short of the daily reference. - Apple Health, if you allow it: import body details, and add saved meals to Health. - Apple Watch: dictate a meal on your wrist and review it on your iPhone. - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and a Live Activity while the estimate works. - At most one reminder a day, and only if you turn it on. The weekly and yearly plans renew until you cancel; Apple shows the price before you confirm. Estimates can be incomplete or wrong; you check them before they count. Protein Ring is for general wellness and is not medical advice.
