Protein Buddy
Hit your daily protein goal without tracking every calorie. Log by photo, voice, barcode or a tap, then use Protein Scout to rank what to eat next.
About Protein Buddy
Protein Buddy is for people who want to hit a daily protein goal without turning every meal into a full calorie diary. It focuses on one number, protein, and keeps the rest of the experience deliberately simple.
Log food manually, by barcode, photo, voice or gallery image. Protein Scout lets you photograph a menu, buffet or fridge and ranks the available choices against the protein left in today's goal, while considering diet style and GLP-1 status. History, insights, streaks and widgets make progress easy to see.
No account is required for the core experience. Manual and barcode logging are free. Photo, voice and Protein Scout have a limited free allowance, followed by optional in-app purchases. Protein Buddy is available on iPhone, iPad and Android.
What Protein Buddy does that nothing else does
Protein Scout ranks real choices from a photographed menu, buffet or fridge against the protein left in your day.
Who Protein Buddy is for
People who care primarily about reaching a protein goal, including users on GLP-1 medication who want less logging overhead.

Can I sync my history and streaks across iPhone, iPad, and Android without creating an account?

How does photo or voice logging estimate the protein in a meal, and can I correct the amount if it is wrong?
Protein BuddyMaker
Correct! You can take a picture of your meal or simply say what you ate, and the app will estimate the protein amount. You can easily adjust it on the same screen if needed. You can also log meals manually or quickly choose from popular foods and meals you’ve logged before. Easy peasy :)

How does Protein Scout adjust its food rankings for different diet styles and GLP 1 status?
Protein BuddyMaker
Hi Priya! Protein Scout uses the diet style and GLP-1 status saved in your profile, together with the protein you have left for the day, to personalize and rank the foods it recognizes. It only suggests choices that fit your profile, then prioritizes options that can help you make meaningful progress toward today’s protein goal. For people using GLP-1 medication, its guidance is informed by current nutrition research, including a 2025 joint clinical advisory from four leading nutrition and obesity organizations that emphasizes adequate protein and preserving muscle during weight loss. Scout is a food choice aid, not medical advice, so individual guidance from your clinician still comes first.
