Pulse: Protein Timing Tracker

Protein Pulse Labs

About this app

Stop eating protein all day. Start pulsing it.
Pulse is a protein timing tracker built around muscle protein synthesis (MPS) — the process that actually builds muscle. Instead of chasing one big daily protein number, Pulse splits your target into 4 meal windows spaced through the day, so your body gets a fresh MPS trigger every time, not one spike that fades by lunch.
Why timing beats totals
Research on muscle protein synthesis shows your body can only make efficient use of so much protein in one sitting. Eating it all in 2 meals leaves your MPS response flat for hours. Pulse tracks your intake by feeding window, not just a running daily total, so you can see exactly when you're eating well and when you're leaving gains on the table.
How it works
• Set your daily protein goal — Pulse splits it into 4 pulses based on your bodyweight and age
• Log meals in seconds with quick-add, food search, or a photo scan that reads nutrition labels automatically
• Watch each pulse fill in real time as you log, with a live countdown on your active window
• Get a nudge if a window is about to close with nothing logged
• Track carbs, fat, and calories alongside protein — full macro picture, not just one number
• 7-day history to see your pulsing consistency over time, not just today
Built for people who already lift
Pulse isn't a general diet app. It's for people who train and want their protein tracker to reflect how muscle protein synthesis actually works — meal timing and spacing, not just a daily total ticking up.
Free to start
Every account gets a full 7-day trial, no card required. After that, Pulse is £4.99/month.
