## What is BasicPlate?

Track a meal in less than 10 seconds, then get back to your day.

BasicPlate is a calorie and macro tracker for people who've downloaded every other calorie counter, used it for a week, and deleted it. The problem was never willpower — it's that logging food is tedious. So we made it simpler. BasicPlate is the calorie tracking app that includes everything you need and nothing you don't. Building mindful eating habits shouldn't be frustrating. Your tools should help you get the job done without getting in the way, and that's why we built BasicPlate.

Snap a photo, leave a voice note, or type a quick line — "about two cups, cooked in olive oil" — and combine any of them before the AI estimates your meal. A photo alone can't tell you how something was cooked or how big that serving actually was. That context is what makes the number accurate, and it's the part most AI food trackers skip.

What's Inside:

- AI food logging by photo, voice, or text, in any combination
- Barcode scanner for packaged foods
- Daily calorie and macro tracking — protein, carbs, fat, against your targets
- Custom recipes: describe them out loud, build them by hand, or paste a URL to import the whole thing in a few seconds
- Recipes remember their serving size, so logging a half portion is one tap
- Workout logging that turns a description of your session into a calorie-burn estimate
- Apple Health sync to track your activity data against your goals
- One-tap water tracking
- Weight, measurements, and progress photos, so you're watching a trend, not just today's number

Whether you're cutting, building muscle, holding steady, or just trying to eat with a little more awareness, BasicPlate is built to be the food diary you're still using in six months — not the one buried on page three of your home screen.

Free to download, with a free trial included. After the trial, a subscription unlocks unlimited AI logging, unlimited recipes, and full progress history. Monthly and annual plans available.

### 5/5 — Best I have used!

*2026-08-31*

The photo feature is unreal. Being able to snap a photo of my meal and having it identify it and count calories has been incredible. I cannot believe how accurate it is. Beats all the others I have downloaded to keep track of my calories.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-14*

I absolutely love this App. It is so easy to use and so functional. It continues to amaze me when I take a photo of what I’m eating and it accurately figures it out and gives me an accurate calorie count. I have lost over 35 lbs. in the past 4 months and this app has been a big part of it. I have found it motivational and fun to use. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Fast, easy, accurate nutrition tracking

*2026-08-12*

Really happy with this app so far. Appreciate the clean interface and how the AI shows its work so I can see if it’s capturing things accurately. Heading into a new marathon training block and excited to see how being more mindful about protein, carbs, water intake, etc. affects my training.

### 5/5 — Calorie Tracking Simplified

*2026-08-10*

I love the simple, streamlined design of the app, and how easy it is to upload photos or input restaurant information. Gone are the days of searching through lists yourself to find the right products to add, I simply take a photo and speak naturally about what I’m eating, and this app nails it every time, especially if I give it the name of the restaurant.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the review! We're really glad this is working well for you. If you have any suggestions for us on how to improve, don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@basicplate.com

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-28

New in this version:

• Color Cues — a new Preferences toggle that uses color to show when you're over or under your targets. Turn it off for a calmer, neutral view.
• Tap anywhere on the live transcript to stop voice logging and edit — you no longer have to hit the checkmark.
• Progress charts now read correctly. Weight and body-fat charts keep a minimum visible range, so a normal day-to-day wobble stops looking like a huge swing.
• Entry lists now show every entry in the range you picked, instead of stopping at the first 10.
• Fixed sodium and fiber not saving correctly on some logged foods.
• Fixed the date-of-birth picker and weight updates not sticking.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-22

What's New in 1.0.3
- Your weight and nutrient charts (1Y/Max ranges) and "View History" now correctly show everything you've logged, not just a recent window
- Fixed a bug where editing a meal's serving size could wipe out its sodium or fiber values
- Chart date labels now scale sensibly with the selected time range
- Fixed date of birth picker and a weight-tracking display bug
- Backend security and performance hardening

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-13

- Smarter meal suggestions, with fewer irrelevant snack prompts
