Tell Essentra how you train and it sets your protein, carbs and calories to match, sizes your carbs around each session, and tracks every vitamin and mineral you log. Free, with no ads.
Carbs around your training, sized to the session.
In the 90 minutes before a session, a carb range sits at the top of your day, worked out from your bodyweight and how long and hard the session is. Runs and rides over 90 minutes add carbs per hour for during. An hour or more of endurance work adds a range for afterwards, on the timeline. Fuel now takes you straight to logging it.
See what each ingredient adds as you build.
Add an ingredient and every bar updates: calories, carbs, protein and fat, split into a shade per ingredient, with micronutrients underneath. Scale a batch to servings and save it. Set a saved meal to repeat, and at mealtime Essentra asks whether to log it — it never logs it for you.
Every macro and micronutrient, one swipe apart.
Swipe from energy to your targets to every mineral and vitamin, each against its FDA Daily Value. The nutrients you chose to watch come first. When a food doesn't report a nutrient, the diary says so instead of counting it as zero.
What your week is short on, and a food you already eat to fix it.
After four logged days, Insights ranks the nutrients that averaged below the threshold you set. Open one to see each day's amount and a food from your own history that closes the gap.
Onboarding asks how you train, and how often and for how long. Those answers set your protein and carbs for your bodyweight: carbs rise with the training you do each week, as the published sports-nutrition ranges say they should. Change any of it later in your profile.

Hum lives in the app's ring and shows up in exactly two moods. It never comments on what you ate.
