About Broqo
Broqo is an iPhone app that counts calories and macros for you. Take a photo of your meal, or say or type what you ate, and Broqo logs the calories, protein, carbs and fat.
Who makes Broqo
Broqo is built by an independent developer. I wanted to eat healthier, and logging every meal by hand consumed too much time. Broqo is the app I wanted for that. I also write the Broqo blog.
What you can do in Broqo
- Log a meal from a photo, by voice or by typing, for example "3 eggs and a yogurt".
- See calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber and saturated fat for every meal and for the whole day.
- Get daily calorie and protein targets for muscle gain, fat loss or maintenance.
- Fix portions, swap ingredients or edit macros without logging the meal again.
- Log your usual meals faster, because Broqo remembers the foods you eat often.
- Follow your weight trend and your meal pattern over time.
Who Broqo is for
Broqo is for people who train and want to hit their calorie and protein targets, but don't want to weigh food or search a database for every meal. Most people stop tracking within a couple of weeks because logging by hand takes too long. Broqo makes each meal take a few seconds, so it's easier to keep going.
How your daily targets are calculated
Broqo estimates your daily energy needs with the Mifflin–St Jeor equation and your activity level, then adds a deficit or surplus for your goal. Protein is about 1.8 g per kg of body weight. You can change any target by hand.
For example, a 30-year-old man who is 180 cm tall, weighs 80 kg and trains 3–5 times a week burns about 2,450 kcal a day, and his protein target is about 144 g. Check your own numbers with the calorie calculator, or read why Broqo uses 1.8 g/kg.
How accurate photo estimates are
Broqo recognizes the dish and estimates the portion from your photo. Portion size is the main source of error, so you can correct the grams in one tap. Results are estimates, not medical advice.
Devices, languages and price
Broqo runs on iPhone and is available in English, Polish and Spanish. Meal tracking, targets and the dashboard are part of Broqo Premium, a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription bought in the app through the App Store. Download Broqo on the App Store.
