Menu Calorie Scanner

Read full description

Point your camera at any restaurant menu and see the calories before you order — no typing, no guessing, no hunting through a food database dish by dish. Menu Scan reads the whole menu at once. It recognizes every dish on the page, then estimates calories, protein, carbs, and fat for each one and scores how healthy it is from 0 to 10. Instead of ordering blind and regretting it later, you get the full nutrition picture of the table in seconds — and it all runs on your device, so it works even with no signal in a crowded restaurant. WHAT YOU GET - Point-and-scan a printed menu and read every dish's nutrition at a glance - Calories plus protein, carbs, and fat estimated for each dish - A 0-to-10 health score so the smartest choice jumps out - Dietary flags for vegan, vegetarian, keto, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and halal - Compare two dishes side by side before you commit - A saved history of past scans plus favorites you can pull up any time PERFECT FOR - Anyone counting calories or macros who eats out and hates guessing - Keto, vegan, and gluten-free diners scanning menus for safe picks - Gym-goers protecting a protein target at restaurants - Travelers reading unfamiliar menus in a hurry WHY NOT JUST LOOK IT UP? Because typing every dish into a food-tracking app while your table waits is slow, and half the restaurant items aren't in the database anyway. Menu Scan reads the actual menu in front of you and gives you the numbers instantly — one scan, whole page. Values are smart estimates for general guidance, not exact medical figures. PRIVACY Scanning and text recognition happen entirely on your device. Your menus and scans stay on your phone — there is no account and nothing is uploaded to a server. FULL ACCESS Menu Scan is free to try with a daily scan limit. Unlock unlimited scans, the full insights dashboard, the weekly meal planner, unlimited saved history, and advanced dietary filters with Menu Scan Pro: - Weekly plan - Yearly plan - Lifetime (one-time purchase) Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Scan your next menu before you order and eat with the numbers in front of you.
