Beyond calories: how Misi tracks your macros and micronutrients

Most tracking apps stop at four numbers: calories, protein, carbs and fat. Those matter — but a diet that nails its macros can still leave you chronically short on the micronutrients that drive energy, recovery, sleep and long-term health.

The macros, done properly

Misi tracks calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat against adaptive targets, plus fibre and protein-per-kilogram of bodyweight — the metrics that actually predict whether you are eating to support training, not just to hit a calorie number.

A full micronutrient panel

Underneath the macros, Misi estimates a panel of micronutrients from your logged foods: sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium, folate and vitamins A, C, D, E, K, B6 and B12 — resolved per ingredient from a detailed nutrition database.

Ratios and adequacy, not just totals

Some of the most useful signals are relationships. Misi surfaces your sodium-to-potassium ratio — a marker tied to blood-pressure health — and maps each micronutrient against adequacy targets in a heatmap, so a recurring shortfall in, say, magnesium or vitamin D is impossible to miss.

Supplements count too

Confirmed supplement intakes layer on top of your food-derived totals, so the adequacy picture reflects what you actually take — not just what is on your plate.

Calories tell you how much you ate. Micronutrients tell you whether you were actually nourished. You want both.
