Redose
Redose is a food logging app built for people managing their health with GLP-1 medications, peptide protocols, or both. Instead of tracking nutrition in one app and your medication in another, Redose keeps everything on the same timeline, so your meals, doses, and body metrics are always in context with each other.
What Food Logging in Redose Covers
Logging a meal in Redose takes a few taps. Search the food database, confirm the serving size, and the calories and macros are added to your daily total. The database covers packaged foods, whole ingredients, and restaurant items. You can also save your own custom entries, which is useful for meals you prepare regularly at home.
Each food entry records:
- Calories
- Protein, carbohydrates, and fat
- Meal time and meal type (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack)
- Optional notes
Your daily food log appears alongside your dose history and body metrics. There is no separate app to open.
Why It Matters Alongside GLP-1 Medications
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide suppress appetite effectively. That is the point. But appetite suppression means total food volume drops, and for many people that includes protein, which is the one macronutrient that matters most during weight loss.
When protein intake falls too low while losing weight, a larger share of the weight lost comes from lean muscle rather than fat. Tracking food gives you a clear signal before that becomes a problem.
Benefits of logging meals on a GLP-1:
- Confirm you are meeting a protein target even on days when you have little appetite
- Identify which meals contribute most to your calorie goals
- Spot patterns between what you ate and how you felt, especially early in a new protocol
- Stay accountable without guessing

How Redose Fits Into Your Routine
Most nutrition apps are designed around food. Most medication trackers are designed around doses. Redose is designed around the person using both.
When you open Redose in the morning, you see your scheduled doses for the day, your protein target, your water intake, and your weight trend in one view. Logging breakfast or a protein shake takes the same effort as confirming a dose. Neither task requires leaving the app or remembering to sync data between two separate services.
This matters for adherence. Habit research consistently shows that combining related behaviors into a single routine is more sustainable than maintaining separate routines for each behavior. If you are already opening Redose to log a dose, adding a meal log to the same session has almost no friction.
For people doing longer peptide cycles with specific performance or recovery goals, this combination is especially useful. You can track a BPC-157 protocol alongside daily protein intake, for example, and review both in the same log when assessing how a cycle went.
Practical Features Worth Knowing
The food logging system in Redose includes a few details that matter in daily use:
- Barcode scanner for packaged foods, so you do not have to search by name
- Recent and frequent foods surfaced first, which speeds up logging for meals you eat regularly
- Custom foods for home recipes or items not in the database
- Daily summary card showing calories and protein progress against your goal
- Water log with a configurable daily target, tracked on the same screen
- Weight log for monitoring trends over a protocol cycle
The calculators at /calculators include a protein goal estimator and a reconstitution calculator for peptides, both of which inform the targets you set inside the app.
Getting Started
Food logging is available on both the iOS and Android versions of Redose. You set your daily calorie and protein goals during onboarding, and you can adjust them any time from the settings screen. The food database is available offline after first sync, so logging works without a connection.
If you are on a GLP-1 medication and want a single place to manage your nutrition and your medication schedule, download Redose and see how the two fit together.
