JusteBon calcule ce que tu peux manger et t'aide à savoir ce que tu manges vraiment. CE QUI CHANGE VRAIMENT Les tables nutritionnelles décrivent les aliments crus. Ton assiette, elle, est cuite. 100 g de pâtes crues deviennent 250 g cuites : compter le poids de l'assiette revient à multiplier les calories par deux et demi. JusteBon fait la conversion. Et pour 458 aliments, il utilise directement les valeurs mesurées à l'état cuit par l'ANSES, plutôt qu'un ratio approximatif. LA RÉFÉRENCE FRANÇAISE, HORS LIGNE La table Ciqual 2025 de l'ANSES est embarquée dans l'application : 3 281 aliments courants, consultables sans connexion, sans attente. Pour les produits de marque, le scanner de codes-barres interroge Open Food Facts. UN OBJECTIF CALCULÉ, PAS DEVINÉ Ton besoin quotidien est établi avec la formule de Roza & Shizgal, à partir de ton âge, ton sexe, ton poids, ta taille et ton niveau d'activité. Les calories réellement brûlées sont lues dans Apple Santé et viennent s'ajouter à ton objectif du jour. TES RECETTES, EN UN GESTE Compose tes plats habituels une fois, avec leurs ingrédients pesés et une note personnelle. Ensuite, une part suffit à enregistrer le repas complet. Tu peux aussi peser ton assiette si tu préfères. CE QUE TU SUIS - Calories et trois macronutriments : protéines, glucides, lipides - Répartition adaptée à ton objectif : perte, maintien ou prise de masse - Historique sur 7, 14 ou 30 jours, avec moyennes - Calories actives, pas et distance depuis Apple Santé TES DONNÉES RESTENT CHEZ TOI Aucun compte à créer. Aucun serveur. Aucune publicité. Aucun suivi publicitaire. Tes repas, ton poids et ton historique ne quittent jamais ton iPhone. HONNÊTETÉ SUR LES CHIFFRES Les besoins caloriques calculés sont des estimations. L'étude d'origine documente un écart de ±213 kcal par jour. JusteBon l'affiche plutôt que de le taire : c'est la tendance sur plusieurs semaines qui compte, pas le chiffre d'une journée. JusteBon n'est pas un dispositif médical et ne remplace ni un médecin ni un diététicien.
