Photo-based meal logging. The AI reads the plate, estimates calories and macros, and the coach uses it to shape the rest of your day.
Take the photo before you eat, or while you eat. Most meals are logged in under two seconds. The path goes like this.
Take a photo, or pick one from your camera roll. Works for plated meals, takeout, and most things on a fork.
Calories and macros come back with a confidence score. Around 90% on common meals. Lower if it is something it has not seen often.
Sauce-heavy bowls and mixed dishes sometimes need a tap. Swap an ingredient or fix the portion in one tap.
The day rolls up automatically. The coach reads it for the rest of its advice that day.
Photos handle most home and restaurant meals. Some things don't photograph well: a beer at the bar, a packaged protein bar, a sauce-heavy curry. Those have other ways in.
Same camera, different mode. Reads the barcode and pulls from a verified packaged-food database.
Type 'chipotle bowl 720 cal' or just 'two beers'. Pulls from a large food database with most chains and packaged foods.
Tap from yesterday or last week. One tap, logged. Most people eat the same eight meals on rotation anyway.
Once a few days of meals are in, the advice gets specific. Calories, protein, and timing all show up in what the coach recommends. Especially when training and eating disagree.
"Under 140 g protein three days running."
Mid-afternoon nudge: 'You've got a protein gap. Greek yogurt or a chicken wrap before the gym?'
"800 calories under target during a heavy lifting week."
When bench felt heavy yesterday, the coach explains why. Suggests easing the cut for the next 4 days.
"Calories under maintenance plus 5 hours of sleep."
Coach sees both, recommends a rest day instead of pushing the planned PR attempt.
Around 89 to 94% on common meals (versus weighed-and-logged), based on beta testing. Confidence shows on every photo. If it is under 70%, fix it before saving.
Mixed dishes, soups, and casseroles are the hardest. The app shows what it thinks the food is. If wrong, swap it for the right entry from the database in one tap.
Restaurant meals: usually yes for plated foods, less so for sauce-heavy stuff (curries, stir-fries). Packaged foods: barcode scan is faster and more accurate. Both routes are in the app.
Yes. Same camera, different mode. Most packaged foods are in the database, plus verified entries from the user community.
Yes. Calories, protein, carbs, and timing all feed into what it suggests. Hard training week with low calories means a different recommendation than easy week with good food. Less logged data means more general advice.
