A free food diary that goes one level deeper than protein: it maps everything you eat to its full amino acid profile and compares your day with your personal targets. It is built by Logan King and Dr Paul T Morgan, Senior Lecturer in Human Nutrition and Metabolism at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Yes. Browsing the database and trying the diary costs nothing, and a free account unlocks everything else: a month of dated days, saved meals, charts over time, CSV export and syncing across your devices. There is no paid tier.

Open the Food diary, pick a meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks) and tap Add food. Search covers 10,259 foods and forgives typos, so chickn still finds chicken. Enter grams, or count in items where that is more natural: eggs, slices, scoops, cups or tablespoons.

If you eat the same thing often, open that meal in the diary and tap Save meal. From then on it is one tap to add the whole meal again, and the Saved meals page lets you rename, edit and build meals from scratch. Saved meals sync to your account.

Amino acid profiles and nutrients come from published analytical sources: USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy), the UK CoFID 2021 tables, and peer reviewed analyses such as Gorissen et al. 2018 for protein powders. Every food cites its source, and the citation links to the exact record.

The baseline is the WHO/FAO/UNU 2007 requirement at your body weight. Because no official figures exist for higher protein intakes, we scale that baseline in proportion to your protein target and say so openly wherever the numbers appear. The default protein target is 1.6 g per kg of body weight, in line with intakes meta-analyses associate with supporting muscle; you can set your own in Account & targets.

Balance measures the proportions in your protein against the WHO/FAO 2007 pattern, not how much you have eaten. 100% or more means every essential amino acid is present in good proportion; below that, the score names the limiting amino acid holding your day back. Daily progress, the big number above your results, is the quantity side.

Food composition data is not exact: lab analyses of the same food vary with breed, feed, season and processing. The band is an indicative allowance of about plus or minus 10%, not a measured confidence interval. To be sure a target is truly met, aim to get the whole band past the line.

The diary rolls to a fresh day automatically. Yesterday keeps its date, foods and note, and moves into your history; the diary holds a rolling 31 days, with the oldest dropping off as you keep logging. Each day also remembers the body weight and target it was logged against, so changing your weight today never rewrites last week.

Yes. Data over time charts protein, calories, carbs and fat per day, with a combined macros line chart, and Download CSV exports every food of every logged day, including all twenty amino acids in grams, ready for Excel or any spreadsheet.

Your diary is stored against your account and nowhere else, protected by row level security, and never sold or shared. Signing out leaves the copy on your device untouched, and Account & targets has a delete option that removes your synced data permanently.
