ProteinTally
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn your protein target into a practical portion. ProteinTally connects the foods you eat, the amount you need and the record you keep. Start with protein, or choose carbs or fat as your tracked macro. MAKE YOUR NEXT PORTION USEFUL Keep other ingredients fixed and calculate how much of one food fits your target. Use grams, ounces or a defined serving. Enter nutrition from a label or a source you trust; the calculation shows which values it uses. YOUR MEALS, READY FOR NEXT TIME Build multi-food recipes and keep them in your meal library. Cooking a batch? Record the finished weight or the number of equal servings, then log the share you eat. Changing a recipe later does not rewrite earlier logged meals. A JOURNAL YOU CAN EXPLAIN Set your own daily goal and optionally divide it among meals. Goal changes keep their effective dates. Review an entry, correct it or undo a removal. Mark fully logged days complete: missing days stay unknown, and complete-day averages say what they include. SHARE THE DETAILS YOU CHOOSE Prepare a PDF, detailed entries CSV or daily coverage CSV for a selected date range. Reports retain captured food values and dated goals. Notes stay out unless you include them. A simple CSV export is also available. START FREE, ADD PRO WHEN YOU NEED IT Free access includes food logging, up to 10 favorites and the latest 30 days of journal history. Pro adds portion calculations, reusable meals and batches, detailed reports, full history, more favorites and meal-by-meal targets. Monthly, yearly and lifetime options are available. Eligible purchases support Apple Family Sharing. Your saved recipes stay editable after Pro ends. No separate ProteinTally account is required. Nutrition and portion results are estimates based on entered or typical reference values. ProteinTally supports general wellness tracking and does not provide medical or dietary advice. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple subscription settings. Any introductory offer is subject to Apple eligibility; current prices and renewal terms appear before purchase.

One number. One dial. Did you get your protein today? ProteinOnly is a protein tracker for people who do not want a food diary. No calorie counting. No macro spreadsheet. No guilt about your lunch. You set a daily protein goal in grams, and one big ring on the home screen fills as you eat. LOG IN TWO TAPS • Favorites — yesterday's chicken bowl is one tap away, today and every day • Quick add — type the grams straight in, or pick from a built-in list of common foods • Barcode — scan the package for protein per serving, then set your portion • Photo estimate — snap your plate and get an estimated protein range to confirm or nudge before it saves A GOAL THAT FITS YOU Enter your goal in grams, or let ProteinOnly work it out from your body weight. Presets cover the usual targets, including the higher protein goals that fit GLP-1 journeys and the 1.6 to 2.2 g/kg range active lifters use. It is guidance, not medical advice, and the number is always yours to change. THE RING IS THE POINT The dial is the whole interface. Open the app and you know instantly where you are: grams so far, grams to go, and a satisfying fill on every log. Today's entries sit underneath, editable in a tap. STREAKS AND HISTORY A calendar heat view of the days you hit your goal, 7 and 30-day averages, and a streak worth protecting. Enough history to see a pattern, without turning into a diary you have to maintain. FIBER, IF YOU WANT IT Turn on an optional second ring for fiber and track it through exactly the same logging paths. Off by default, because one number is the promise. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Put the ring on your home screen and log without opening the app. REMINDERS THAT SAY SOMETHING USEFUL Optional nudges: a morning start, and an evening check when there is still a gap ("38 g to go — what's for dinner?"). WHO IT IS FOR People eating less overall and wanting protein to stay high. Lifters who already know their number and are tired of logging three other macros to get it. Anyone who tried a full food tracker, lasted nine days, and quit. PRIVATE AND FAST Your log lives on your phone. There is no account and no sign-up. Photos are sent for an estimate only in the moment you ask for one, and are never stored on a server. FREE, AND HONESTLY FREE Manual logging, favorites, barcode scanning, the dial, streaks, and a week of history are free forever, plus 5 AI photo estimates to try. ProteinOnly Pro unlocks unlimited photo estimates, full history and the calendar heat view, home screen widgets, the fiber ring, and reminder customization. Pro comes as an annual auto-renewing subscription that opens with a 7-day free trial, or as a monthly one. Prices are shown in your own currency before you buy. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. ProteinOnly is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. Talk to your doctor or dietitian about the protein target that is right for you. ProteinOnly is made by Adelyons Software LLC.
