Improve your diet and lower your cholesterol, one meal at a time. Cole AI is a cholesterol tracker that works from a photo of your meal. Snap a picture and get a heart health score in seconds, with a clear explanation of how that meal affects your LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. You don't have to log anything by hand. SEE WHAT'S WORKING AND WHAT ISN'T Nutrition labels list numbers. They don't tell you which of those numbers matter for cholesterol. Cole AI focuses on the ones that do: saturated fat, trans fat, soluble fiber, and dietary cholesterol. When a meal scores low, you'll see which ingredient caused it and get a healthier swap to try next time. TRACK YOUR HABITS OVER TIME Your cholesterol reflects what you eat week after week, not any single meal. Cole AI keeps a record of every meal you scan, so you can: - Watch your daily Heart Diet Score trend up as your habits improve - Stay under your daily limits for saturated and trans fat - See your fiber, fat, and cholesterol intake over weeks and months - Log your lab results and track progress toward your LDL goal - Build a streak and stay consistent HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your LDL and HDL goals 2. Snap a photo of your meal 3. See your score and what's driving it 4. Watch your habits, and your numbers, improve over time Questions or ideas?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NuMacros at none against Cole AI's 2. NuMacros also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Cole AI's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.5). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
