Redose
Redose is a dose and nutrition tracker that puts your daily protein goal and your GLP-1 injection schedule on the same screen. If you have been keeping a separate food diary just to watch your protein, Redose removes that extra step.
What a protein tracker does
A protein tracker counts the grams of protein you eat each day and compares that total to a target you set. You log meals by searching a food database, scanning a barcode, or entering a custom food, and the app adds up the protein from each entry. At a glance you can see how much you have eaten and how much room remains before the day ends.
That sounds simple, and it is. The reason it matters is that protein is the one macronutrient where hitting a specific number, not just a rough range, has a measurable effect on body composition. Calories determine whether you lose or gain weight. Protein determines how much of that change comes from fat versus muscle. Getting the number right on most days is what separates a diet that reshapes your body from one that just makes the scale go down.
How Redose handles protein tracking
The nutrition section in Redose is built around a daily log with a running total for each macro.
- Search a database of millions of foods by name or brand, or scan a barcode.
- Log custom recipes by entering the ingredients once and saving the meal for reuse.
- See a daily ring or bar that fills as you hit your protein target, with your exact gram count always visible.
- Set a personal protein target in grams. The calculator can help you estimate a starting number based on your weight and goal.
- Log water intake on the same screen so you stay on top of hydration, which also affects appetite and recovery.
- Review weekly trends to see which days you consistently fall short and adjust your meal planning.
Because Redose is first a peptide and medication tracker, your protein log sits directly beside your dose log. You check off an injection and see your nutrition totals in the same scroll. There is no context switching.
Why protein is especially important on a GLP-1
GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) work in part by slowing gastric emptying and reducing appetite. Most people find they feel full after very small meals, sometimes uncomfortably so. That is the mechanism, and it is effective for fat loss. The problem is that eating very little makes it hard to reach a meaningful protein target through normal meal patterns alone.
Studies on patients using GLP-1 medications consistently show that a meaningful percentage of weight lost includes lean mass, particularly in people who are not paying attention to protein intake or resistance training. Losing muscle during a GLP-1 cycle is not inevitable, but it does not prevent itself automatically. Tracking protein is one of the straightforward, low-effort interventions that keeps muscle loss in check.
Redose is a practical tool for this because your GLP-1 dose schedule and your nutrition data live together. When you open the app to log or confirm an injection, the protein total for the day is already visible. You do not need to remember to open a second app, and you do not lose the habit loop.
The same logic applies if you use peptides for recovery or body composition alongside or instead of a GLP-1. Users tracking BPC-157, TB-500, or similar compounds often have specific protein targets tied to training and recovery goals. You can log those doses and your nutrition in the same place. See the features overview or the tirzepatide tracker page for more on how Redose handles different medication types.
Putting it together
Hitting a protein target on most days is straightforward when you can see the number. The friction is the act of logging, and more friction comes from using two apps, one for medication and one for food. Redose removes that friction by covering both in a single daily view.
Set your target once, log your meals and doses as they happen, and let the totals do the work of keeping you on track. Download Redose for iPhone or Android and add protein tracking to your GLP-1 routine without adding another app.
Redose is a tracking tool, not medical advice.
