## What is AI Food Scanner?

Forkd is the AI food scanner built around what people actually search for: a protein tracker, macro tracker, fiber tracker, and fasting tracker — all in one app, powered by a photo of your plate.

Snap your meal. Get calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and 15 micronutrients back in seconds. No barcode hunting, no database searching, no manual entry.

Meet Forkie, your hedgehog health coach. The more consistently you log, the more he thrives. Skip a few days and he'll let you know but he's rooting for you either way.

A FOOD SCANNER THAT ACTUALLY SCANS
Photo your meal and Forkd identifies the dish, estimates portions using objects already in frame, and returns a full nutritional breakdown in seconds. Prefer talking? Use voice logging - say what you ate and Forkd transcribes, identifies, and logs it. Recognizes regional dishes from 50+ countries.

PROTEIN TRACKER + MACRO TRACKER
Daily protein, carb, and fat targets with progress bars for every meal. Bulking, cutting, or running a low carb tracker-style plan — Forkd's macro tracker keeps a running total so you're not doing math at 9pm.

FIBER TRACKER & MICRONUTRIENT TRACKING: THE PART MOST CALORIE COUNTERS SKIP
Most calorie counter apps stop at calories and macros. Forkd's fiber tracker and micronutrient tracker go further: Vitamin A, C, D, B12, Folate, Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Omega-3, Sodium, and Sugar, pulled per ingredient from USDA FoodData Central. Set your own thresholds and get one evening notification if you're low on iron, high on sodium, or short on fiber.

HIDDEN INGREDIENTS
Forkd flags the cooking oil, butter, sauce, glaze, and dressing likely hiding in a dish and shows its reasoning, so you're not silently under-tracking 200+ calories a day.

FASTING TRACKER & FASTING APP
Built-in fasting tracker with 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD, and custom windows. As a fasting app, Forkd connects your intermittent fasting schedule to your actual nutrition data.

MEAL PLANNER THAT LEARNS FROM YOUR MEAL TRACKER DATA
Low on iron or protein lately? Forkd's meal planner biases suggestions toward meals that close the gap. Swipe right to confirm, left to swap. Includes a 5,000+ recipe library and recipe scanner.

NUTRITION TRACKER & DIET TRACKER FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY EAT
Every meal gets a 0–100 Nutrition Score based on Harvard Healthy Eating Plate, WHO, and USDA guidelines.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-12, version 1.5.0*

This app makes tracking calories and macros quick and effortless. The AI food scanner is accurate, fast, and very easy to use. Great app for anyone who wants to eat healthier and stay on track!

### 5/5 — Useful app.

*2026-07-02, version 1.4.0*

This is a useful calorie track. A the beginning, it seems a bit overwhelming with all the questions and information needed to get started but once you get going, it’s actually quite easy to use. I love that you can take a picture of your meal and AI attempts to estimate the calories in it and then it lets you adjust those numbers as you see fit. It’s actually a nice middle ground between entering everything yourself which can be tedious and having AI enter everything which can be a times an accurate. 

Also, the hedgehog is cute.

### 5/5 — Helps me with my diet!

*2026-06-28, version 1.4.0*

I don’t have a lot of knowledge in terms of nutrition so I was looking for an app that can give me guidance and help me with my diet.  I like how it has a workflow that takes me step by step on what my current intake is and provides suggestion accordingly.  Great for people who are looking for a healthier lifestyle!
