Most people train harder than they eat. That’s why progress stalls. Get the food right and the training finally shows.
That’s the idea behind everything we make: an app that tracks both, plans that cover both, and articles that explain why it works.
Read our storyThe free app
Your whole routine. One app.
Most trackers see half the picture. BarbellBites logs your training and your food, so it can tell you whether your lift stalled because of your programme or because of your plate.
Know where you stand, instantly
Calories left, protein, carbs and fat, updated the moment you log. One glance tells you what's left for the day and how close you are to your goal.
Log a meal in seconds
Point your camera at a barcode and the calories and macros fill themselves in. Free, with no paywall. Or search, tap a recent favourite, or type it in yourself.
Turn your steps into a contest
Connect Apple Health or Health Connect and your steps count themselves. Then take on your mates in weekly step challenges and watch the leaderboard move.
Train with your mates
Log every set, chase PRs and climb the leaderboard with your friends. Streaks and badges keep you turning up, even on the days you don't feel like it.
Premium
Know exactly what to fix
Your weekly recap spells out your wins and watch-outs: the protein gap, the missed sessions and the foods quietly leaking calories. Then it gives you three things to focus on next.
Premium
Plan it. Snap it. Hit your macros.
Snap any plate and get every food, portion and macro in seconds, then log it in one tap. Or let your meal prep plan the whole day: cutting, bulking, keto, vegan or halal, with allergy filters and exact portions that hit your targets.

Good questions.
Anything else? Email [email protected] and we'll get back to you.
Is the BarbellBites app really free?
Yes. The core app is free with no ads: workout logging, food tracking with macros and micronutrients, the barcode scanner, step sync, friends, leaderboards, challenges and streaks. Premium is optional and adds the weekly coach, custom meal plans and smart training plans.
How much is Premium?
£8.99 a month, £79.99 a year or £2.50 a week, and it starts with a 14-day free trial.
How do I get my plan after I buy?
Straight away. After checkout you will see a confirmation page, and your download link (or your Notion link for the 12-week plan) is emailed to you. If it has not arrived, check your spam folder or email [email protected].
Do I need Notion for the 12-week plan?
Yes, but a free Notion account is all you need. It works on your phone, tablet and computer, and you copy the hub into your own account in a couple of taps.
Are the guides UK-specific?
The High-Protein Budget Diet uses UK supermarket prices. The training guides work anywhere, with gym, dumbbell and bodyweight options.
Can I get a refund?
Our plans are digital and delivered instantly, so sales are usually final once you have downloaded or opened them. If something is wrong, email [email protected] within 14 days of purchase and we will look into it.
Read the full policyIs the advice on the blog medical advice?
No. Our articles are general information based on published research, with sources linked. If you have a health condition, take medication or are pregnant, speak to your GP before changing your diet, training or supplements.
Start today. Thank yourself in 12 weeks.
The app is free, the plans are ready and the first session is the hardest.
