Based vs Calico

Know what your diet is missing—and what to eat next. Snap each meal and see how it contributes to your nutrient goals. Based tracks 20+ nutrients, shows where your logged intake falls short, and helps you find foods to fill those gaps. Follow your progress across days, weeks and months to see which gaps keep coming back. SNAP EACH MEAL Take a photo or describe what you ate. Review the foods and estimated portions before you log. Save time with meals you eat often. SEE WHERE YOU STAND Track protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and essential fats against your personal targets. See your daily nutrition score, choose your focus nutrients, and look closer at what each meal adds. ASK WHAT TO EAT NEXT Your AI nutrition coach uses your logged meals, nutrient gaps and dietary preferences to suggest meals and snacks. Ask for something quick, something savory, or an idea using what you have. Keep the conversation going until you find something you want to eat. SPOT GAPS EARLY Look back over days, weeks and months to find patterns in your intake. See which goals you regularly reach and which nutrients need more attention, then plan your next meals with those gaps in mind. MAKE IT PERSONAL Set targets using your profile and activity level. Keep your dietary preferences and food avoidances up to date so food suggestions fit the way you eat. SHARE WHAT YOU ATE Turn your meal photo into a shareable nutrition sticker, or share your daily and weekly progress. Show your food and the nutrients it contributed. ABOUT NUTRITION ESTIMATES Photo scans estimate ingredients and portions; they do not measure food or diagnose nutrient deficiencies. Review results before logging. Nutrient data availability varies by food, and some values are estimates. Based provides general nutrition information, not medical diagnosis or treatment.
