Redose
Tracking your macros, protein, carbohydrates, and fat, is one of the most practical things you can do to protect your body composition while losing weight. Redose brings that tracking into the same app where you already log your GLP-1 or peptide doses, so one screen shows the full picture.
What macro tracking actually is
Macros is short for macronutrients, the three categories that make up essentially all of the calories you eat. Protein builds and preserves muscle tissue. Carbohydrates are the body's preferred fast fuel source. Fat supports hormones, fat-soluble vitamins, and sustained energy.
A macro tracker counts the grams of each category you eat each day and compares them to a target. Most people who are focused on body composition start with a protein target first, then fit carbs and fat around it within a calorie budget.
On a standard diet, missing your protein target by a day or two has a modest effect. On a GLP-1 medication or a peptide protocol designed to reduce body fat, the stakes are higher because appetite suppression can cut total food intake by 20 to 40 percent. When total intake drops that sharply and protein is not being tracked, it is easy to eat far less protein than your body needs to hold onto muscle. The result is that more of the weight you lose comes from lean tissue rather than fat, which is the opposite of what most people want.
How Redose handles macro tracking
Redose is built around the idea that dose logging and nutrition logging belong on the same timeline. When you open the app you see your medications or peptides scheduled for the day, your macro targets for the day, your water intake, and your weight trend, all without switching apps or tabs.
Key things the macro tracker does:
- Logs protein, carbs, fat, and calories from a searchable food database with saved meals for faster daily entry.
- Shows daily totals against your targets in a clean summary so you can see at a glance whether you are on track before the day ends.
- Sits beside your dose log so you can correlate how your appetite feels on injection days versus off days without manually comparing two apps.
- Tracks water intake on the same dashboard, which matters because reduced hunger on GLP-1 medications can also reduce thirst signals.
- Connects to weight tracking so you can watch the macro pattern alongside weight trend over time.
You can set macro targets manually or use the calculator to estimate a starting point based on your weight, height, activity level, and goal. Targets can be adjusted at any time as your protocol or weight changes.
Why this matters for GLP-1 and peptide users specifically
People using semaglutide, tirzepatide, or peptides like BPC-157 or CJC-1295 are almost always working toward a body composition goal, not just a number on the scale. The medication or peptide does one part of the job. Nutrition does the other.
The most common nutritional mistake in this population is not eating enough protein. Hitting 100 to 130 grams of protein per day sounds straightforward until you realize that a suppressed appetite makes it easy to stop eating after 60 or 70 grams. Without a tracker telling you where you stand, you may not notice the shortfall until it shows up as muscle loss on a DEXA scan or in how you feel during workouts.
A second common issue is not drinking enough water. GLP-1 medications slow gastric emptying, which can reduce the natural thirst signals that come alongside meals. Tracking water in the same place as food helps close that gap.
For users on peptide protocols aimed at recovery or performance, protein is equally important because repair and synthesis processes depend on adequate amino acid availability. A macro tracker removes the guesswork about whether the diet is supporting the protocol or working against it.
Redose is designed to cover both sides without requiring a separate app for nutrition. Your dose schedule and your nutrition data live together, and you can see trends across both on the same screen. If you are already tracking your protocol in Redose, adding macro logging takes seconds per meal and brings everything into one place.
