## What is Based?

Scan all your meals and get a full breakdown of 20+ nutrients — vitamins, minerals, essential fats, protein, fiber, and more. Not just calories and macros. The whole picture.

Based helps you identify and fill nutrient gaps in your diet with real food — not supplements filled with additives. Use our AI nutrition coach to get personalized meal recommendations, chase the 100% Based score each day, and eat complete.

WHAT BASED TRACKS

Every meal you scan is analyzed across these nutrients:

Macros — Protein, Fiber, Calories, Added Sugars
Vitamins — A, B6, B12, C, D, E, K, Folate
Minerals — Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Selenium
Essential Fats — Omega-3, Omega-6
Optional Add-Ons — Creatine, Collagen, CoQ10, L-Glutamine, Vitamin K2

18 baseline nutrients tracked automatically, plus 5 optional add-ons you can enable based on your goals.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Snap a photo of your meal. Based identifies the food and estimates a full nutrient breakdown in seconds.

2. See your daily score. Every day you get a score from 0 to 100 and a letter grade — from F all the way up to A+. Hit every target and you earn BASED status.

3. Fill your gaps. Your dashboard shows exactly which nutrients you are hitting and which you are missing. Get meal recommendations from your AI coach to fill what is left.

FEATURES

— Food quality labels: every meal is classified as Whole Food, Mixed, Processed, or Slop
— Personalized nutrient targets based on your age, sex, weight, height, activity level, and diet type
— Daily nutrition score with letter grades (F through A+, and BASED for a perfect day)
— Real-time nutrient dashboard showing progress across all 20+ nutrients
— AI-powered meal recommendations to fill your specific gaps with real food
— Shareable meal cards for Instagram, Messages, or any social platform
— Smart notifications based on what you actually ate that day
— Streak tracking to build daily consistency
— Dark mode and light mode
— Cloud sync across devices

YOUR AI COACH

Based includes an AI nutrition coach that adapts to your style. Choose from three personality levels:

— Buddy: encouraging, supportive, celebrates your wins
— Standard: straightforward advice, no sugar-coating
— No Filter: blunt, direct, calls it like it is

Your coach analyzes your nutrient gaps and recommends specific meals to fill them. Ask questions, get suggestions, or check in on your progress. Every recommendation is focused on real, whole food — not pills.
