Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Let's be real, most AI food trackers get it wrong. They estimate portions poorly and are too rigid for most people. Here's one that actually understands it. Smarter Calorie & Protein Targets Not random estimates. We calculate what you need based on your body and goals. Adjustable AI Food Scanner Other apps give you inaccurate food estimates, ours has a slider that allows you to adjust how many pieces and grams there ACTUALLY are. Text-Based Food Descriptions Don’t want to take a photo or forget to snap one? Just describe your meal. We’ll break it down instantly and you'll be able to adjust the portions of each ingredient. Real-Time Macro Progress No more guessing if you’re on track. Daily bars show exactly how much protein and calories you’ve hit. Meal & Food Suggestions Low on protein at dinner? We’ll tell you exactly what to eat to close the gap. Sleep Assistant & Tracker Recovery is where the magic happens. We’ll help you sleep deeper and wake up stronger. Meal Prep Recipes
