Tracker – Premium

What the tracker actually does

Most nutrition apps count calories and call it a day. Our Tracker tracks thirty-one nutrients — the full picture, including the vitamins and minerals that most people are quietly short on and never know it. It was built by a certified personal trainer and covers the things that actually determine how you feel and perform: what you eat, how you train, how you sleep, and how consistently you hit your targets over time.

Everything feeds into a weekly view that lines it all up on the same days. Not because the tracker tells you what it means, but because you know your own life and sometimes seeing it laid out is enough.

The tools in detail

Food search

Free, no account needed. Type any food and get the full breakdown — not just protein, carbs and fat, but calcium, magnesium, zinc, all the B vitamins, vitamin D, and the rest. The data comes from the USDA’s own database, filtered to whole foods where the micronutrient figures are actually complete. Branded products are excluded because their lab data rarely is.

Food diary

Log what you eat and see every nutrient against a target calculated from your own numbers — your age, height, weight, activity level and goal. The targets are built on the Mifflin-St Jeor formula with DRI reference values for the micronutrients, so they reflect your actual needs rather than a generic adult. Meals are grouped so breakfast looks like breakfast. You can go back and edit any day.

Supplements count toward the same totals as food, because a target doesn’t care whether a nutrient came from a plate or a capsule. If a supplement pushes you past a tolerable upper limit — which vitamin A and vitamin D can do easily — the bar turns red and names it.

Recipes

Build a meal once from its ingredients, with the full nutrient breakdown calculated per serving. After that it logs in a tap, the same as any food. Worth doing for anything you eat regularly — a post-workout shake, a standard lunch, a meal you prep on Sundays. The diary gets faster and the numbers get more accurate.

Supplements

Vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, B12 — whatever you take. Log them individually or save a stack as a named supplement that logs in one tap. Each nutrient has the unit its label actually uses: vitamin D in IU if that’s what the bottle says, folic acid in micrograms against a folate DFE target, without having to convert. The upper limits on fat-soluble vitamins and minerals are enforced in the weekly view, which is where supplement habits actually show up.

Training log

Sets, reps and weight for resistance training, plus duration and distance for cardio. The log calculates volume per exercise and per muscle group automatically. A seven-formula one-rep max estimate sits under each exercise while you log so you have a reference without leaving the page. Around seventy exercises are included from the start; you can add your own.

Progress

Charts for any exercise or muscle group between any two dates. Volume over time, percentage change, and your best set for the week. The honest version of progress tracking: it shows what the numbers say, not what an algorithm thinks they mean.

Sleep and mood

Two sections, logged at different times of day. In the morning: when you went to bed, when you woke up, and a rating for how the sleep felt. Sleep duration is calculated automatically, including across midnight. In the evening: mood, energy and stress on simple five-point scales, plus a free-text note for anything worth remembering.

These numbers go into the weekly view alongside your nutrition and training. Whether they connect is something you’ll notice over time. The tracker doesn’t claim they do.

Books

Three shelves: reading now, want to read, finished. Search by title or author and the details fill in from Open Library — author, page count, cover. Track your current page and see how far through you are. Rate and leave notes on anything you’ve finished. Start and finish dates are set automatically when you move a book between shelves.

The weekly view shows pages read per day, books finished in the period, and what’s still open. Over a year it becomes a record worth having.

Weekly review

A summary across any seven, fourteen or thirty day window. Training volume and which muscle groups it went to. Average sleep and mood scores across the days you logged. Nutrition broken down by how many days each nutrient was in its healthy range — not just an average, because an average can hide the day you took ten times the vitamin A target and call it fine. Books finished and pages read. All lined up on the same days in a column chart so patterns are visible if they’re there.

What it costs

The tracker is part of the makeithappenhero.com membership at $10 per month.

A seven-day free trial is available with no card required. You get full access to everything from day one. If you decide it isn’t for you, it simply expires — nothing to cancel, no payment taken.

After the trial, subscribing takes about two minutes through Lemon Squeezy, which handles the payment. They accept all major cards. You’ll receive a receipt by email and access continues without interruption.

Your data

Everything you log stays in your account and is never shared or sold. The food database is the USDA’s public data. Book search uses Open Library, which is also public. No third-party analytics sit inside the tracker itself.

If you cancel, your account and everything in it remains accessible until the end of the period you paid for. After that the tracker tools close, but your WordPress account stays open and your access to the free food search continues. Your data is not deleted — if you come back, it’s where you left it.
