## What is Avocado?

Avocado allows you to take a photo of your food to get calories and macros. Calorie counting and diet tracking made easy. 

What makes this app unique is it weighs your food for you through new camera technology (accurate depth sensors). No need for a scale!

There are now ~1000 foods supported! Nutritional data comes from the USDA.

For best results, center food in the camera guide and take the photo straight above. Macros and calories are calculated through depth data, so a straight-on photo is best.
