Injection Site Tracking & Body Map: Protocol Dose Logging Guide

Tracking where you inject is as critical as tracking what you inject—repeated injections in the same site cause lipohypertrophy, tissue damage, and inconsistent absorption. Yet most users either rotate blind (guessing where they injected last week) or maintain paper notes that become unreliable after the first few weeks.

Protocol's body map transforms injection site tracking from a memory game into a visual, data-driven system. This walkthrough covers three dose entry methods and how Protocol's proximity-based rotation algorithm ensures optimal tissue health and compound consistency.

Three dose logging entry points provide flexibility for any workflow. Quick Action from the Today screen for ad-hoc peptides like PT-141 that aren't tied to active protocols. The Upcoming list for scheduled doses—tap the green checkmark and Protocol pre-fills compound, dose, and time automatically. The Inventory Details screen for occasional peptides tracked outside of protocols.

Regardless of entry point, the Log Dose workflow is identical. Your current concentration auto-populates from your last reconstitution, eliminating manual lookups. You enter units drawn, and the dose amount calculates automatically. The syringe guide is one tap away if you need visual help reading your barrel.

Route selection covers all administration options: subcutaneous, intramuscular, intranasal, oral, or topical. Selecting an injectable route brings up the body map.

The body map uses color-coded proximity tracking to show injection history in real time. Red indicates injected today. Orange shows recent use—sites still resting. Gray marks older sites. Blue indicates never-used locations. Protocol's proximity algorithm registers nearby zones as recently used, preventing you from cycling between only 2-3 spots on your abdomen when rotation should cover a wider area.

Custom site labeling goes beyond standard anatomy. Injured knee repair zone, scar tissue area, post-surgical site—you can label injection locations however your recovery or monitoring goals require. Tap to mark a site, pinch to zoom for precision, accept or customize the anatomical label, add notes on pain level or tissue feel, and tap log dose. The entry is recorded, the site is mapped, and your body map updates in real time.

Back on the Today screen, completed doses move to the Completed section and contribute to your adherence metrics automatically. Injection history accountability is what separates serious protocol tracking from casual logging.
