Calorie & Macro Log
Log meals with calories, protein, fat and carbs.
Overview
The Calorie and Macro Log turns a day of eating into a quick five-column scoreboard. Log each meal with a name, calorie count, and the gram totals for protein, fat, and carbohydrate, and the running day total updates instantly with the macro split as a percentage. It is built for people who already know roughly what they ate and want fast capture rather than a barcode scanner workflow.
Whether you are tracking a hypertrophy bulk, a sustainable cut, a managed carbohydrate intake for blood sugar control, or just curious where your protein actually lands on a normal week, the tool keeps the friction low. Type a meal name, drop in the macros, and move on with your day.
How it works
Entries are grouped by date. Switching the date field reloads the list for that day, so a few days of catch-up logging never blurs into one giant unsorted feed. The daily totals card sums calories and each macronutrient and computes the protein, fat, and carb split as a percentage of total grams, which is the most useful comparison when judging adherence to a target ratio.
A datalist of common meal names (Breakfast, Lunch, Pre-workout, Post-workout, and so on) prefills the meal field but accepts any custom name. Calories accept whole numbers, macros accept tenths of a gram, and rows can be deleted individually if you log the wrong number or change your mind about a snack.
Examples
- High-protein cut: target 180 grams of protein and watch the daily protein chip climb across breakfast, lunch, a shake, and dinner.
- Carb cycling: compare yesterday (training day, higher carbs) against today (rest day, lower carbs) by flipping the date selector.
- Restaurant trip: log a single line with an estimated calorie figure and macro breakdown from the menu's nutrition page.
- Macro split audit: discover that your "balanced" week is actually 20 percent protein, 50 percent fat, and 30 percent carbs.
FAQ
Do I have to fill in protein, fat, and carbs? No. If you only know the calorie total, log that and leave the macros at zero. The split percentage simply will not display until you have at least some macronutrient grams logged.
How are the percentages calculated? Protein, fat, and carb grams are summed for the day and each is divided by the total grams. The display does not weight grams by calorie density because the gram split is the metric most lifters and nutritionists compare against.
Can I copy a meal from yesterday? Not directly. Re-enter the meal with the same values; the meal-name datalist will autosuggest names you have used recently.
What happens when I switch dates? The list and totals reload for the selected day. Entries on other days are unaffected and remain available when you switch back.
