Use case
Protein Tracker for Muscle Gain, Built for Indian Food
Building muscle needs a calorie surplus and enough daily protein, tracked consistently. IRONSLOG sets both from your stats and goal, then logs meals against 1,579 Indian foods — dal, paneer, curd, whey, chicken, soy — so hitting a protein target doesn’t mean eating the same three "safe" foods on repeat.
How does IRONSLOG size a bulking calorie and protein target?
The nutrition intake takes your age, height, weight, activity level and goal (lean gain or bulk) and sets a daily calorie surplus with a protein target sized to your bodyweight, split alongside carb and fat grams. It updates as you log new weigh-ins, tracking a real weight trend rather than guessing at maintenance once and never revisiting it.
What high-protein Indian foods does the database actually include?
Dal in its many forms, paneer, curd, soy, whey protein, chicken, eggs and dozens of other protein-dense Indian foods each carry calories and macros per standard serving, so building a high-protein day doesn’t mean defaulting to chicken breast and rice because it’s the only thing that was easy to look up.
How do I pair the nutrition side with actual training for muscle gain?
The same account tracks both: a strength- or hypertrophy-focused plan under bodybuilding or strength training, and a protein-forward nutrition target here, with progress tracked from your own logged sets and weigh-ins rather than two disconnected apps.
| Goal | IRONSLOG feature |
|---|---|
| Set a surplus and protein target | Five-question nutrition intake, goal: lean gain or bulk |
| Hit protein without repetitive meals | Dal, paneer, curd, soy, whey and more in the food database |
| Track the scale trend | Body measurement charts over time |
| Pair training with nutrition | Same account tracks lifts, plan adherence and macros |
Key takeaways
- A five-question intake sets a daily calorie surplus and bodyweight-sized protein target.
- High-protein Indian foods (dal, paneer, curd, soy, whey) are already in the 1,579-item database.
- The target updates as you log new weigh-ins.
- Training progress and nutrition tracking live in one account.
