Tracking macros is not enough

The nutrients most apps skip, and why they're the ones that matter.

The two-nutrient trap

Most nutrition apps stop at calories and protein. That's enough to understand weight. It's nowhere near enough to understand nutrition.

The panel that matters

Trophos tracks 40+ nutrients. Vitamins A through K. Minerals like zinc, magnesium, selenium. Amino acids. Fatty acids. Fiber, sodium, added sugars. Every log contributes to a daily roll-up with %DRI.

You don't need to hit every target every day

Nutrition is a weekly game, not a daily one. Our Progress view rolls micros up into weekly averages so you can see what's actually happening.
