Free MyFitnessPal Alternative
Macro tracking built for athletes.
Not a paywall.
MyFitnessPal locks basic features behind a $19.99/month subscription. PROTR tracks macros, hydration, meal plans, and recipes for free, and connects your nutrition to your training load so you can see what's actually affecting your performance.

Built for athletes, not just calorie counters
Nutrition meets training load
PROTR's AI weekly summary flags when carbohydrate intake is low on high-TSS training days, one of the most common and fixable causes of underperformance. MyFitnessPal has no awareness of your training.
No paywall on core features
MyFitnessPal moved barcode scanning, hydration tracking, and macronutrient goals behind its Premium subscription. In PROTR, all of these are free.
Workout logging in the same app
Log sets, reps, weight, and RPE for 500+ exercises. See your previous effort automatically. Track PRs. Most MyFitnessPal users need a second app for workouts. PROTR covers both.
Apple Health integration
PROTR writes your nutrition data back to Apple Health and reads your workout and health data in. MyFitnessPal's Apple Health integration has historically been unreliable.
Switch to PROTR. It's free.
Macro tracking, workout logging, and training analytics. One app, no subscription.
