I track protein, not calories. So I built a dead-simple tracker for lifters.
Description and use
Protein Pal is a minimalistic protein tracker for lifters that logs protein intake, shows a progress bar, and stores data in localStorage without accounts or servers.
Problem
Lifters need a quick way to log protein intake without complex features like calories, macros, or accounts.
Outcome
Protein Pal enables lifters to log protein intake quickly, view progress, and maintain data offline without complex features.
Workflow
- Clone the repository from GitHub.
- Navigate into the project directory.
- Open index.html in a browser to start tracking.
- Log foods by entering protein grams and optional dairy flag.
- Use one-tap re-add to quickly log frequent foods.
- View per-day history and daily totals via the progress bar.
Evidence
Every food-tracking app wants the same things from me: calories, macros, a subscription, an account, a barcode-scanning onboarding flow.
Protein Pal is the tracker that asks exactly one question. Log what you ate with its protein grams, and watch the big daily total climb toward your goal — default 180g, adjustable, with a progress bar.
Everything in localStorage — works offline, no account, no server, nobody's database but your browser
Running it is the install: git clone https://github.com/hahahahahahahahah6/protein-pal cd protein-pal # then just open index.html in any browser
