What is a macro tracker in a fitness app?
A macro tracker shows protein, carbs, and fat for the meals you log. In PerformancePal those numbers sit in the same nutrition view as calories, and on the same day as your workout and daily score. You set what you want to watch. The app does not assign you a medical diet.
How do protein, carbs, and fat get into the log?
They come from the food you add: a scan, a barcode, a search, a pantry item, or a recipe. If a database entry looks off, use the package label. PerformancePal is not affiliated with USDA or Open Food Facts.
How is a macro tracker different from a calorie counter?
A calorie counter totals energy. A macro tracker splits that food into protein, carbs, and fat. PerformancePal keeps both in one log so you can see the split without a second app.
Does a macro tracker give diet advice?
No. It shows what you logged. It does not tell you how much to eat for a medical condition. Operated by BETTER PRACTICE LLC. Support: performancepal.support@gmail.com.
Can you log macros without a barcode?
Yes. Search for a food, pick a pantry item you saved, or log a recipe you created. A barcode is one path, not the only path.
Where do macros show up in the day?
In the nutrition view for that day, beside the meals and the training you logged. History can show the week so one meal does not have to stand alone.
A macro tracker shows protein, carbs, and fat for meals already in the calorie counter. Those macros sit on the same day as the daily fitness score, the workout planner, and the step counter.
Add food by scan, barcode, search, pantry, or a meal planner recipe. The macro tracker is the split of the calorie counter inside one fitness app, not a second download. Workout history can show the week of calories next to strain.
It does not prescribe a medical diet. The sleep tracker and habit tracker stay optional context. General wellness software from BETTER PRACTICE LLC.
