Apple Watch calorie & macro tracker
Log meals from your wrist
Most nutrition apps make you open your iPhone to log food. ProteinLog is an Apple Watch macro tracker that lets you voice log meals, tap saved templates, and review today's macros on your watch — without your phone in hand.

An Apple Watch calorie tracker that lets you actually log
If you searched for an Apple Watch calorie tracker or macro tracker, you probably found apps that only show your totals on the wrist. ProteinLog is different: you can log new meals by voice, tap a saved template, or review today's meals and macros on your watch — then sync everything to Apple Health.
Meal history
Review today's meals without opening your phone
Open ProteinLog on your watch and scroll through everything you've logged today. Each entry shows calories and macros so you can see how your day is shaping up — and whether you still need that post-workout protein shake.
- ✓Every meal listed with calories, protein, carbs, and fat
- ✓Running daily totals update as you log
- ✓Check progress between sets, meetings, or meals — no phone needed
Built for your wrist, not your pocket
Every feature below runs on Apple Watch. Set up once on iPhone, then log from your wrist all day.
Voice logging on your wrist
Say what you ate — "two eggs, toast, and black coffee" — and ProteinLog parses foods and portions. No typing on a tiny keyboard, and it works without your iPhone nearby.
Quick Log templates
Save repeat meals — post-workout shake, usual lunch — and log them in one tap from your watch. Perfect between meetings or after the gym.
Full macro dashboard
Open ProteinLog on your watch for calories, protein, carbs, and fat at a glance. Tap through to log or review today's meals and history.
Standalone logging
Log without your iPhone nearby
After initial setup on iPhone, ProteinLog runs on your watch independently. Voice log at the gym, tap a Quick Log template between meetings, or review today's meals from your wrist — even when your phone is in a locker or at home.
That matters for consistency. The easier logging is, the more likely you are to hit your protein goal — and an Apple Watch macro tracker should remove friction, not add it.
How standalone logging works →★ Apple Watch Ultra
One press to Quick Log your usual meal
Map the Action Button on Apple Watch Ultra to ProteinLog's Quick Log shortcut. One press opens your saved templates — post-workout shake, usual lunch, overnight oats — and one tap logs the whole meal.
No digging through menus on a tiny screen. Ultra owners bought a watch built for action — this is the fastest way to log a meal you eat every day.
- ●Quick Log shortcut — saved meals in one tap
- ●Voice Log shortcut — when your hands are full after a workout
- ●Set up via Shortcuts on Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2
