You eat. BiteCount does the math. Tell your coach what you had by typing or talking, and get accurate numbers in seconds. Your targets learn your body, your friends keep you going, and the coaching handles the rest. Whether you want to lose weight, gain weight or keep what you've got, BiteCount adapts to you. Start with a 7-day free trial. MEET JAY & KEL, YOUR AI NUTRITION COACHES Pick Jay or Kel and just say what you ate. They find the food and the portion, and you tap Log. They build custom foods, answer "what can I have for dinner?" with what's actually left in your day, and explain your numbers when you want the why. Every log gets a reaction, and a quick message is usually all it takes. NEW: FRIENDS & FEED • Share meals and recipes with the people you choose • High-five wins and keep streaks going together • Save a friend's recipe, cook it step by step and log it in one tap • Optional and for ages 18+. Nothing you log is shared unless you share it. COACHING THAT ADAPTS • Your calorie-burn estimate learns your real metabolism from what you log and weigh, so your targets actually fit you • Weekly check-ins tune your calories and macros so progress doesn't stall • The Weight Trend smooths out the daily ups and downs so you can see what's really going on • No red numbers, no shame for going over. Have an off day and the coaching keeps working anyway.
