## What is MealScout?

Track what you eat. Understand your nutrition. Reach your goals.

MealScout makes nutrition tracking effortless with AI-powered food recognition. Snap a photo of your meal, and MealScout instantly identifies every item and estimates calories, protein, carbs, and fat — no manual searching through databases.

HOW IT WORKS
• Photo Logging — Take a photo of any meal. AI identifies the food and estimates nutrition in seconds.
• Text Logging — Type what you ate ("2 eggs and toast") and get instant nutrition data.

AI NUTRITION COACH
Ask Scout anything about your diet — it knows what you've eaten today and this week:
• "What should I eat for my remaining meals?"
• "How did I do on protein this week?"
• "What do I eat most often?"
Answers are based on your real data, not generic advice.
