Track macros from the meals you eat
Speak, photograph, or type a meal. Alma estimates protein, carbs, and fat, then helps you decide what to eat next.
Describe a meal in ordinary words
Try “grilled chicken with a cup of rice and broccoli.” Alma turns your food log into estimated calories and macros. Add details about sauces, cooking fats, and portions when you know them.
You can use voice, photo, or text instead of entering every meal the same way. The useful method is the one you can keep using in daily life.
Treat the numbers as estimates
A photo or short description cannot reveal every ingredient or exact portion. Check that the logged food matches your meal, especially for mixed dishes and restaurant food.
Macro tracking adds protein, carbohydrate, and fat information to your calorie total. Alma also tracks 25+ nutrients and an Alma Score, so your view of food can extend beyond a macro split.
Turn a target into a meal idea
Ask Alma “What could I have for dinner to help meet my protein goal?” Guidance uses your logged meals, preferences, and goals rather than assuming the same meal works for everyone.
Use the macro calculator as a planning starting point and review the assumptions behind its result. A target is a guide to discuss and adjust, not a promise of a particular body or performance outcome.
Frequently asked questions
Can I track macros without weighing every meal?
Yes. Alma estimates macros from voice, photo, and text logs. Describing portions helps, but estimates can differ from weighed food or a package label. Choose the level of detail that fits your needs.
Is the same macro split right for everyone?
No. Goals, activity, preferences, and individual circumstances differ. Alma can help you explore your food log and meal options; a registered dietitian can help set targets for specific clinical or performance needs.
