HOW TO USE eait: 1. Answer a few questions, and eait builds your plan: a calorie target with its arithmetic shown. 2. Take a photo of your meal, or say what you ate. 3. Get calories and macros against your own targets. Wrong portion? Say so in plain words and the numbers recompute. Your daily target stays at or above 1,200 kcal for women and 1,500 kcal for men, and Apple Health syncs both ways. Questions or ideas? Write to lets@eait.fit. NOTE: We do not offer medical advice. Calories and macros are estimates from photographs, not measurements. Talk to a doctor or a registered dietitian before changing how you eat, especially if you have a medical condition. SUBSCRIPTION eait needs a subscription: yearly, with 3 days free for new subscribers, or monthly. The price shows in your currency before you agree. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
