Logging

How do I log protein?

Two ways:

  • Tap a favorite in the Quick add row. One tap logs it — that's the fast path.
  • Tap “Add protein” to enter grams manually. The name is optional; only grams are required.

How do I add my own favorites?

Tap Add protein, enter the grams and a name, then turn on Save to favorites before tapping Log. It'll appear as a chip in the Quick add row from then on.

Favorites reorder themselves automatically so the ones you use most sit first.

How do I edit or delete an entry?

  • Edit: tap the entry to change its grams.
  • Delete: swipe the entry left.

Goals & streaks

How do I change my daily goal?

Tap the “Goal 000g” pill in the middle of the ring on the Today screen. Enter a new number, or pick one of the preset amounts, then tap Save.

How is my streak counted?

Your streak counts consecutive days you logged something — not days you hit your goal. Logging anything keeps it alive.

Today is always forgiven: your streak won't break until the day actually ends without an entry.

If you want to track how often you're hitting your target, look at Goal days in the History screen instead.

Can I see previous weeks?

Yes. Open History with the chart icon at the top right of the Today screen, then use the ‹ and › arrows to move between weeks. The dots, the chart, and the weekly stats all follow the week you're viewing.

AI photo scan

The AI got the food wrong. What do I do?

Fix it on the confirm screen before logging — nothing is saved until you tap “Log”.

  • Wrong name? Tap the name and type over it.
  • Wrong amount? Use the − and + buttons to adjust the grams.
  • Item shouldn't be there? Tap the ✕ to remove that row.
Scan results are estimates, not measurements. Items the AI is unsure about are flagged “estimate — adjust if needed”. Always give the numbers a glance before logging.

It says “Couldn't find food in this photo”

The AI didn't recognize anything edible. Usually it's lighting, a heavy angle, or the food being mostly hidden. Try a clearer, more overhead shot — or just add the protein manually, which is always available.

I've run out of scans for today

Protein Pro includes up to 20 scans per day. The allowance resets at midnight UTC. Manual logging is unlimited and always free.

Scanning isn't working

Scanning needs an internet connection, since the analysis happens on our server. Check your connection and try again.

If it keeps failing, email us with roughly when it happened and we'll look into it.

Subscription

I reinstalled the app and lost my subscription

Your subscription is fine — the app just needs to reconnect to it. Tap the person icon at the top of the Today screen and choose Restore purchases. It's also available on the paywall itself.

Protein Tracker has no accounts, so your subscription lives with your Apple ID rather than a login. Restoring is what links it back after a reinstall or a new phone. Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID you subscribed with.

How do I cancel?

Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not by us:

  1. Open Settings on your iPhone
  2. Tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions
  3. Select Protein Tracker and tap Cancel Subscription

You'll keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for. You can also reach this from the person icon inside the app.

How does the free trial work?

The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial. You won't be charged during the trial, and cancelling before it ends means you're not charged at all. If you don't cancel, it converts to a paid subscription automatically.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are handled entirely by Apple — we have no ability to issue them. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com using the Apple ID that made the purchase.

What do I actually get for free?

Manual logging, favorites, your daily goal, history, and streaks are free forever — no trial timer and no account needed. The AI photo scan is the one feature that requires Protein Pro.

Your data

Where is my data stored?

Your protein log, goal, and favorites are stored only on your iPhone. We don't have a copy, and there's no account to sign into.

The tradeoff: deleting the app permanently deletes your history, and there's currently no backup or sync between devices.

What happens to photos I scan?

The photo is sent over an encrypted connection to our server and forwarded to our AI provider to produce the estimate. It isn't stored by us and isn't linked to your protein log.

Full detail is in the Privacy Policy.

How do I delete everything?

Deleting the app removes all of your on-device data. If you also want your subscription stopped, cancel it in Settings first — deleting the app on its own doesn't cancel it.

Still stuck?
