Nutrition tracking for the long game
Most calorie apps were built for the gym. Endurance athletes burn through sodium, potassium, iron, magnesium, and B12 on different curves, and they usually need more energy than any generic TDEE formula predicts. Açaí tracks the nutrients that actually matter during a build cycle, and it does it from a photo.

The deficiency that ends seasons
Roughly a quarter of female endurance athletes develop iron deficiency during a training block. Ferritin drops, VO2 max falls, workouts that were easy in week three become miserable in week eight. The athlete thinks they are overtrained. The blood panel says they are iron deficient.
Açaí models iron intake across every meal for the prior seven days and flags downward trends before the blood draw confirms it. It does the same for B12, vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3. The point isn’t diagnosis. The point is to surface the direction of travel early enough to adjust food, not after a DNF.
A generic macro tracker can’t do this because it doesn’t track the nutrients involved. This is exactly the use case that justifies 245 fields instead of 15.
Fuel the season, not just the workout.
Açaí gives endurance athletes the full 245 nutrient picture plus live activity integration.
