Text calorie tracker that lives in your messages

Marco is a text-based calorie and macro tracker. You message what you ate; Marco matches it to USDA and published nutrition data and replies with calories, protein, carbs, fat, and your daily progress — in the same thread.

How text calorie tracking works

Open the messaging app you already use. Text Marco a normal description of your meal — the way you’d tell a friend. Marco matches that description to verified nutrition sources, logs the meal to your account, and replies with a summary plus where you stand for the day.

  • Works over iMessage, SMS, and RCS
  • No food database to search or barcode to scan
  • Ask anytime for today’s totals or progress toward your goal

What you can text

Marco understands casual language, restaurant orders, and weighed ingredients. More detail usually means a tighter match — and if something is ambiguous, Marco asks instead of guessing.

  • “2 eggs and toast for breakfast”
  • “Chipotle burrito for lunch. chicken with everything”
  • “2 slices dominos pepperoni”
  • “half cup black beans, 1 bell pepper, 205g chicken breast, 100g brown rice”

iPhone and Android

iPhone users can text Marco in iMessage or SMS. Android users can use SMS or RCS where supported. If your phone can send a text, you can use Marco — no separate fitness app required.

Nutrition data you can trust

Marco does not invent calorie counts. It matches meals against USDA FoodData Central and published nutrition facts from brands and restaurants. Your logs are saved in a structured database, so history builds over time instead of disappearing when a chat gets long.

Frequently asked questions

Is a text calorie tracker accurate?

Accuracy depends on how you describe portions, like any tracker. Marco anchors estimates to USDA FoodData Central and published brand or restaurant data, and asks clarifying questions when a meal is ambiguous instead of inventing numbers.

Do I need to download an app to track calories by text?
