Send a food photo and get instant calorie + macro estimates. Works with meals, snacks, packaged foods, and nutrition labels.
Calorie, protein, carb, and fat goals calculated from your body stats and goals using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation.
Track daily progress with color-coded macro bars, weekly trends, and meal history — accessible right from Telegram.
Estimates off? Say "that was 2 eggs not 3" or "delete the chicken" — natural language edits, no menus needed.
Daily logging streaks with milestones at 7, 14, 21, and 30 days. Streak freezes protect you if you miss a day.
Ask "build me a grocery list" and get a personalized shopping list based on your goals, preferences, and budget.
We're actively building. Here's what's next.
Save your go-to meals and re-log them with one tap. "Log my usual breakfast" — done.
Send a voice message describing what you ate. AI transcribes it and logs the meal automatically.
"I'm at Chipotle — what should I order?" Get menu-aware suggestions that fit your macros.
Discover your eating patterns — like "you eat 35% more on weekends" or "protein drops on Fridays."
Pull in weight and step data to auto-adjust your calorie targets as your body changes.
Tell MealScout you worked out and it bumps your calorie target for the day. No guessing.
Opt in to share your streaks with a friend. A little friendly pressure goes a long way.
"What did I eat last Tuesday?" or "When did I last have salmon?" — instant recall of past meals.
Download all your nutrition data as CSV or PDF. Your data, your way — no lock-in.
Most people just send photos and text. But there's a lot more if you want it.
Type what you ate in plain English. "Grilled chicken, rice, and broccoli" is logged instantly. No photos, no scanning required. This is genuinely useful forever and costs us nothing to run.
Snap a photo → AI breaks down exact macros (calories, protein, carbs, fat). This uses expensive GPT-4o Vision API, which is why it requires a subscription. One photo costs us ~$0.03 to process.
Unlike MyFitnessPal, Noom, or Cal.ai, we chose cost leadership over feature gatekeeping. Text logging will always be free because it's the feature most people actually use. Premium is purely for convenience — instant photo macros — not for basic functionality. That's the difference.
Takes 2 minutes to set up. Free forever during beta.
