What is Protein Hunter?

Protein Hunter is a protein and nutrition app with a database of 232 foods โ€” from a leaf of kale to a wagyu steak โ€” plus AI tools that answer protein questions, count a whole meal, build recipes to a macro target, and track what you actually eat.

  • Search any food
  • Count a full meal
  • Recipes to your macros
  • Scan a plate or label

Why it's different: the numbers are calculated from a fixed ingredient database rather than guessed, and when a target is not physically achievable the app says so instead of inventing a figure.
