Protein Planner — Macro Tracker - Hate logging meals? Let an app plan your protein.

Hey Hunters 👋 I built Protein Planner because logging food was killing my motivation to hit my protein goal. **The problem:** I lift 4x a week and "just hit 150g of protein" sounds simple — until you're 4 days into MyFitnessPal, ate grilled chicken, have to guess whether it was 120g or 180g, weigh the rice, forget to log lunch, then quit by week 2. Every macro app I tried was *reactive* — log what you ate, see how short you fell, repeat the loop tomorrow. I wanted the opposite: just tell me what to eat today. **What I built:** 🎯 Set your daily protein target (e.g. 150g) 🍳 App picks 3 high-protein meals — breakfast, lunch, dinner 📐 Portions auto-scale to hit your number (no calculator) 🛒 One tap = today's shopping list 🥩 29 verified recipes, 50+ next month (turkey, tuna, cottage cheese, tempeh coming) **How it evolved:** The first prototype was basically a fancy calculator. People kept asking "but what do I cook?" — so I added the recipe engine. Then "what if I don't have those ingredients?" — so I added auto-scaling and swapping. Each iteration came from real lifter feedback. **What I'd love from you:** - If you lift, does this fit your routine? - What protein source is missing? (Someone asked for tempeh yesterday 🙏) - Anything that feels overengineered? I'm a solo dev. Happy to answer anything in the thread. — Siwen
