Macro tracking, free during beta. No account required.
Macro tracking apps like MacroFactor charge $70/year. MyFitnessPal's useful features are behind a paywall. Forge by FitDaily lets you track protein, carbs, and fat during the beta — and uses AI to estimate macros from meal descriptions so you don't have to search a database.
How it works: Type "salmon teriyaki with white rice and edamame" and Forge by FitDaily returns estimated macros in seconds. No searching, no guessing serving sizes, no account setup.
