Protein Snap helps you keep track of your daily protein intake effortlessly – including macros, training and smart Health integration.
LOG IN A TAP
Add 10, 20, 30 or 40 grams with a single tap. For everything else there's manual entry with an optional note – entries can be edited afterwards too.
FOOD DATABASE
Not sure how much protein is in your food? Over 100 common foods – from chicken breast to low-fat quark, cold cuts, spreads and cheese – are built in. Just pick the portion and the app calculates the grams of protein. No more guessing.
BARCODE SCANNER & LABEL SCAN
For packaged foods: scan the barcode, name and protein content are looked up automatically. No barcode or no match online? Just photograph the nutrition label on the package – values are read automatically and can be corrected before you apply them.
SAVED MEALS
Combine your go-to meals from several foods once – e.g. "My Breakfast" – and log the whole thing with one tap directly from the meal screen, instead of rebuilding it every day.
DAILY COACHING
A few grams short of your goal? Protein Snap suggests suitable foods – based on time of day, workout type and your favorites – that you can log with one tap.
TRAINING
A dedicated training section with six workout templates (full body, push/pull/legs, upper/lower body) – exercises, sets and reps can be customized to fit you. During a workout you can log every set live with weight and reps.
SMART HEALTH INTEGRATION
Connect Protein Snap with Apple Health: body fat percentage and lean mass feed into a more precise protein recommendation, training days are detected automatically (with a bonus on your daily goal), and after a workout you get a reminder with a matching protein suggestion.
YOUR PROGRESS AT A GLANCE
A large progress ring shows you exactly where you stand – including a calorie budget for every single meal (traffic-light colors: green, yellow, red). The weekly recap shows your average and how many days you hit your goal. The streak counter keeps you motivated: "5 days in a row". Missed a day? Streak rescue lets you save a missed day once a month, for free. Special moments can be shared as a nice card.
NEEDS CALCULATOR
The built-in calculator suggests a suitable daily goal based on your body weight (optionally pulled straight from Apple Health) and activity level – guided by common nutrition recommendations.
LOG PAST DAYS
Forgot to log? No problem – simply add entries for past days.
SMART REMINDERS
A daily reminder only shows up if you haven't reached your goal yet – including a concrete suggestion. Optionally, an afternoon check nudges you if you're still under half your goal by then.
FAVORITES & MONTH OVERVIEW
Save your favorite meals and keep an eye on which days you reached your goal in the calendar.
OPTIONAL CALORIE ESTIMATE
If you like, you can also show calories, fat and carbs. Off by default – protein stays the focus.
HEALTH SYNC
Your protein values can optionally be synced with Apple Health.
PROTEIN SNAP PREMIUM (optional, one-time purchase)
- AI photo recognition: photograph your meal, AI estimates protein, calories and fat for the whole plate – detected components can be corrected and recalculated
- Protein Coach: see how you spread your protein across the day, with personal tips
- Advanced statistics: monthly trend, year-over-year comparison, goal rate, weekday analysis, training-vs-rest-day comparison, weight trend, protein source breakdown – shareable as an image
- Year overview with monthly trends
- CSV export of all entries
Protein Snap is deliberately minimal: no ads, no account, no unnecessary permissions. All data stays on your device unless you actively enable syncing with Apple Health.
Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Over 9,000 foods: the German Nutrient Database (BLS 4.0) by the Max Rubner-Institut is now built in – around 7,100 German foods and dishes with official nutrition values
• Meals redone: colorful icons with a progress ring per meal; the plus next to breakfast, lunch & co. opens the entry screen with quick picks (Recent, Frequent, Favorites, Meals) – the keyboard only shows when you tap the search field. Tap the meal name to see what's in it today: every food with all its nutrients and the meal against its budget
• Adjust logged foods afterwards: only managed half the pizza? Tap the entry, pick ½ – calories, protein, fat and carbs scale together; values can also be edited individually
• The Protein Coach now has its own colored banner at the top of the Today screen instead of the small bulb – with a hint at what's up next ("40 g to go – see suggestions")
• Collapse the keyboard: in food search, "Done" above the keyboard (or a swipe through the results) hides it – your search text stays, the list gets the full screen
• "History" becomes "Progress" – a dashboard you put together yourself: 13 tiles to show, hide and reorder, from Ø per day, goal rate and streak to the bar chart of the last 30 days with your daily goal as a line
• Your year at a glance: one square per day, colored by how close you got to your goal – good stretches and gaps at a glance (year overview)
• Records as their own tiles: longest streak, best day, days tracked and the next milestone
• Month overview, year overview, statistics and coach are tiles with a real preview now instead of menu rows – Premium tiles show that preview behind a lock, so you can see what you get
• "All analyses" at the end of the dashboard reaches every analysis, including the ones you hid
• Charts now use Ø grams per day instead of monthly totals – a short month no longer looks worse than a long one, and the goal line sits exactly on your daily goal
• With Premium: calories, fat and carbs in the same daily chart
