Calorie counter and food diary that fits into a busy day. Snap your plate, scan a barcode or search the food database, and see the macros of every meal in seconds. Most people stop tracking because logging takes too long. Here a meal takes a few taps, your daily goal is worked out for you, and the main screen shows at a glance how much is left for dinner.
