Hi y'all ( •‿•)ノ ! We are two friends (Jackson & Mike!) who went through the crazy journey of dieting and trying to change our physique. We were so fed up with the old calorie counting apps. They're painful to use. We had an amazing startup idea--what if you could use AI to automatically track calories based on a photo? After months of research and development, we are excited to bring you the most cutting edge technology that makes this possible. It's simple to use! 1. Use our calculator to figure out your specific body's calorie, protein, and fiber needs. 2. Take pictures of your food or type it in. 3. Get nutrition info and feedback from our built-in coach! 4. Lose weight and gain muscle. Both of us (Jackson and Mike) would be so appreciative of any feedback or questions! You can email us at jackson@alwayscoach.com and mike@alwayscoach.com PLEASE NOTE: This is not a medical app. We do not offer medical advice. All recommendations in the app are suggestions. Please consult with a medical professional before trying a new diet or calorie plan. TERMS: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
