ProtiGram: Protein in Food

Most protein tools stop at a number. "Your target is 92 g" is true and almost useless, because nobody can picture 92 g. ProtiGram turns the number into a plate: what it looks like in ordinary food, what you have left today, and how to close the gap before bed. TWO NUMBERS, NOT ONE Your minimum is the published RDI for your age and sex. Your suggested target sits above it, adjusted for your weight, activity and goal. Both are shown, both show their working, and both link out to whoever published the figure. No single magic number presented as settled fact. TAP, DON'T LOG Fifteen tabs cover 88 everyday foods — eggs, chicken, red meat, fish, yoghurt, cheese, tofu, legumes, nuts, grains. Open one and every food in it is a row, portion beside it. Tap one and it counts. No search, no scrolling, no barcodes, no weighing. Half a serve, one or two is deliberately the only portion control in the app. WHAT'S LEFT, ANSWERED IN FOOD "28 g remaining" is not an instruction. Two eggs and a glass of milk is. The gap is always answered as things you could eat in the next hour. BUILD MY PROTEIN DAY Say how many meals you eat and how you eat — everything, vegetarian or vegan — and it lays out a day that lands in your range: breakfast, lunch, dinner, with the grams beside each. Don't fancy it? Build another. Different food, same arithmetic. FOODS OF YOUR OWN The tabs cover ordinary food. Everything else — a packet, a pack of sushi, the curry you cook — goes on a tab of your own. Photograph the nutrition panel and the app reads the protein row off it, asking whether you meant per serve or per 100 g; or type the figure in. Then tap it like any other. The photo is read on your phone, never uploaded, and deleted once read. HOW THE WEEK ACTUALLY WENT Your days, kept for 90 of them, with 7-day and 30-day averages against your target. Every average carries the number of days you logged, because four good days out of seven is a good week, not 57% of one. It also totals eight micronutrients — zinc, iron, magnesium, calcium, selenium, vitamin D, iodine and vitamin B12 — against the reference amount for your age and sex. When your protein foods already cover one, it says so. When they don't, it says the total is unknown rather than low: the app only ever saw the protein on your plate, not the milk in your coffee, and it won't diagnose a shortfall from a partial view. WHERE THE NUMBERS COME FROM Protein per portion: FSANZ Australian Food Composition Database, Release 3, with USDA FoodData Central for the few foods it doesn't carry. Portion sizes: the Australian Dietary Guidelines standard serves. Targets and nutrient reference amounts: the NHMRC / New Zealand Ministry of Health Nutrient Reference Values. Every figure in the app carries a link to its source. WHAT IT ISN'T No calorie counting. No barcode scanning. No account, no sign-in, no sync, no cloud, no ads. Your profile and your days sit on your phone, and there is nowhere for them to go. ProtiGram gives general nutrition information and is not medical advice. If you are pregnant, have kidney disease or are managing a health condition, talk to your doctor or a dietitian before changing how much protein you eat.
