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.
