PT Distinction’s calorie tracker, redesigned from the ground up

With the latest PT Distinction update, we quietly rolled out one of its biggest features yet—a fully loaded Calorie Counter, built right into the app. Working closely with the PTD team, we crafted a nutrition tracking experience that’s refreshingly simple yet packed with the power and features of any top-tier nutrition app.

The Calorie Counter helps users track calories and macros, build dish libraries, and build good nutrition habits—all while trainers check in and offer support along the way. From the start, we wanted to make something that fits right into everyday life. Logging meals only takes a few seconds but still captures all the details—down to the exact foods, drinks, and portion sizes.

The Calorie Counter stands shoulder to shoulder with the best standalone nutrition apps like MyFitnessPal. The big challenge? Making sure it fit seamlessly within the broader PT Distinction ecosystem, alongside all the existing tools and features. To shape an intuitive, seamless experience, we carefully extended the design system and rapidly built interactive prototypes to refine flows and end-to-end user journeys.

From the design phase, we moved into development of the iOS and Android apps—bringing the interface to life with silky interactions and clean, responsive layouts. At the same time, the PTD development team focused on the back-end logic, API connections, and web front-end, making sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes.

The result is something we’re truly proud of—shaped by a close-knit collaboration between us at Eastwood and PTD’s fantastic product team. Now out in the wild, it’s already helping trainers level up their nutrition game.
