Log a full meal
in one line of text.
Most trackers make you search a database, pick from a list, and tap through a quantity picker — for every single item. ShredUp lets you type it the way you'd say it. It resolves the food, the portion and the macros, and the day's totals update as you hit enter.
Nobody quits tracking because they lack discipline.
They quit because it is slow.
Every abandoned food diary has the same story behind it. The friction is not in the decision to eat well — it is in the thirty seconds of data entry that follow every meal.
Fifteen taps for one bowl of dal
Open app. Search. Scroll past ten near-identical entries. Guess which one is right. Set a portion in a unit you do not think in. Repeat for every item on the plate.
The database does not know your food
Most nutrition databases are built around packaged, Western products. Home-cooked, regional and restaurant dishes either come back wrong or do not come back at all.
So the habit dies in week three
Tracking only works if it survives a bad day. Anything that costs two minutes a meal gets skipped once, then twice, and then the data is too patchy to be worth reading.
Three steps, and two of them are optional.
Type it the way you say it
One line, several foods, any order. Shorthand, full names, quantities in scoops, katoris, slices or grams — whatever you actually think in.
> 2 roti, paneer bhurji 1 katori, curd 1 cupIt resolves the food and the macros
Your own dictionary is checked first, so repeat foods land instantly. Anything new goes to the model, gets nutrition attached, and is saved with a shortcut — the second time you eat it is faster than the first.
> wp 2.5 # whey protein, 2.5 scoopsFix it in the same box
No edit screens, no long-press menus. Corrections are just more text, and the day’s totals and trend chart update as you go.
> make that 3 scoops, drop the bananaBuilt like a dashboard, not a lifestyle app.
No streak confetti, no badges, no food photography. Every pixel is either a number you asked for or the label that explains it.
One input for everything
Logging, corrections, deletions and questions all go through the same box. There is no second screen to learn.
A food list that learns you
Every food you log is saved with an auto-generated shortcut and autocompletes from then on. Your vocabulary gets shorter the longer you use it.
Measured against your TDEE
Set your maintenance calories once. Every day is scored against that number, not a generic 2,000 kcal default.
A score for showing up
A daily consistency score with explicit penalties for missed logs and blowouts — so a genuinely good week is visible, not a feeling.
Trends, not just today
A seven-day macro chart sits under the log, and any past day is one click away with its full breakdown intact.
Reads your week back to you
Diet analysis, recipe ideas and tips generated from what you actually ate — pattern-spotting you would not do by hand.
Opinionated on purpose.
ShredUp is not trying to be the tracker for everyone. It is sharp for one kind of user and openly wrong for another.
- Lifters and athletes holding a protein target every single day
- Anyone in a deliberate cut, bulk or recomp with a number to hit
- People who eat home-cooked or regional food that generic databases miss
- Coaches and clients who need a week of honest data, not a highlight reel
- Casual calorie-curious tracking with no target in mind
- Anyone who wants social feeds, streak badges or meal photography
- Medical or clinical nutrition management
Straight answers.
Do I have to learn the shorthand?
No. Plain sentences work — "two rotis and a bowl of dal" logs fine. Shortcuts are generated for you as you go, so the shorthand is something you drift into rather than something you memorise up front.
What happens when a food is not in the database?
It gets resolved on the spot, saved to your personal dictionary with its nutrition, and given a shortcut. The next time you eat it, the lookup is instant and no model is involved.
How accurate are the numbers?
Foods already in your dictionary are exact arithmetic on stored per-100g values. Foods being resolved for the first time are estimates — good ones, but estimates. Correcting one in the command box updates it permanently.
Where does it run?
In any browser, and as an app on iOS and Android. It is the same account and the same data on both, so you can log on your phone at the table and read the week on a laptop.
What can I actually see over time?
A seven-day macro trend under the daily log, a full breakdown for any past date, and a consistency score that penalises skipped days — so patterns show up before they become habits.
Stop budgeting time
for the tracker.
Your first meal is one line of text away. Log it, see the macros land, and decide from there.
