Bite is a free AI calorie tracker that makes logging meals effortless. Snap a photo, say what you ate, or type a quick line — AI identifies the foods and portions, and your calories and macros come from a verified nutrition database, not AI guesses. LOG MEALS IN SECONDS No barcode scanning, no database scrolling. Three ways to capture any meal: - Photo: point your camera at the plate — AI finds the foods and estimates portions - Voice: a hands-free voice food log — say "two scrambled eggs and sourdough toast" and it's captured (speech is transcribed on your device) - Text: type a quick description and you're done REAL NUMBERS, NOT GUESSES Bite is a photo calorie counter that doesn't make up nutrition facts. AI only identifies foods and portions — the calories, protein, carbs, and fat come from a verified nutrition database. Every line item shows its source and a confidence level, and when something is ambiguous, Bite asks one smart clarifying question ("Was the pizza thin crust or regular?") instead of guessing. EDIT WITH HUMAN PORTIONS Adjust portions the way you think about food — "½ pizza", "2 eggs", "1 cup" — not in grams math. Macros rescale automatically as you step portions up or down. YOUR AI NUTRITION COACH Ask anything: "What should I make for dinner?" or "Chocolate or a boiled egg?" The coach knows what you've eaten today and what your targets are, so every answer is grounded in your actual remaining calories and macros — not generic advice. TRACK YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE A calorie ring and three macro rings show exactly where you stand on protein, carbs, and fat. Meals sit in a clean timeline organized by breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Set your own calorie and macro targets. FEATURES - AI food tracker: log by photo, voice, or text - Macro tracker with protein, carb, and fat rings - Nutrition data from a verified nutrition database - Confidence and source labels on every food - One smart clarifying question when it matters - Human-unit portion editing (slices, cups, eggs — not just grams) - AI coach grounded in your actual day - Custom calorie and macro targets PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data is never sold. Voice is transcribed on your device — recordings never leave your phone. Delete your account and all your data anytime, right from the app. Bite is free to use. Start tracking in seconds.
