Nutrition Tracking
Hit your macros every day — with features other apps charge for
Whether you're cutting weight for a competition, bulking to build muscle, or just trying to eat better, tracking your nutrition is the fastest way to see results. PT Tracker gives you a full-featured nutrition tracker that includes barcode scanning, a massive food database, per-meal macro breakdowns, custom foods, recipe building, and weekly trend views — all completely free. Features that apps like MyFitnessPal lock behind a premium subscription, like viewing macros per meal and detailed nutrient breakdowns, are included at no cost in PT Tracker.
- Barcode scanner for instant food entry
- Full macro breakdown per meal — free, not paywalled
- Build your own personal food database
- 50+ recipes with full macro information
- Daily and weekly nutrition views
- Streak tracking for consistency
Per-meal macros — free, not premium
One of the most frustrating things about other nutrition apps is hitting a paywall just to see basic information. MyFitnessPal, for example, requires a premium subscription to view macro breakdowns per meal — something that's essential for anyone serious about their nutrition. PT Tracker shows you calories, protein, carbs, fat, and fibre for every individual meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks) as well as daily totals, all completely free. You can see exactly where your protein is coming from, identify which meals are carb-heavy, and adjust your eating patterns accordingly. This level of detail is what makes the difference between vaguely "eating healthy" and actually hitting your targets consistently.
- Calories, protein, carbs, fat, and fibre per meal
- Daily totals with target progress bars
- Weekly nutrition trends at a glance
- No premium subscription required
Scan, search, and save your favourites
Logging food should take seconds, not minutes. The built-in barcode scanner pulls nutritional data from OpenFoodFacts, covering thousands of UK supermarket products and brands. Just scan the packet and the macros are logged instantly. For foods without barcodes, search the database or create custom entries with your own macro data. The best part is the personal food library — every food you log can be saved to your favourites for one-tap logging next time. Over time, you build up your own database of foods you actually eat, making daily logging faster than any other app. Frequently eat the same breakfast? It's one tap. Same post-workout shake every day? One tap. The app learns your habits and makes them effortless.
- Barcode scanner with OpenFoodFacts integration
- Custom food entries with your own macro data
- Save favourites for one-tap logging
- Build a personal food database over time
- Search by brand or food name
Why tracking nutrition accelerates your results
Whether your goal is fat loss, muscle gain, or body recomposition, nutrition tracking is the single most impactful habit you can build. Research published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that people who tracked their food intake lost significantly more weight than those who didn't, regardless of the diet they followed. For bodybuilders and strength athletes, hitting protein targets is critical for muscle protein synthesis — and you can't hit a target you're not measuring. PT Tracker's nutrition tracking isn't just about calories. By tracking macros, you ensure your body is getting the right fuel in the right proportions. Combined with the calorie bank feature (Pro), you can flex your intake across the week — eating more on training days and less on rest days — while still hitting your weekly targets.
- Track macros to optimise body composition
- Hit protein targets for muscle growth
- Identify patterns in your eating habits
- Pair with calorie bank for flexible weekly dieting
