DietLense turns a photo of your food into complete nutrition — calories, macros, and 30 micronutrients — then builds your meals, groceries, and training around your goals. LOG FOOD FIVE WAYS Point your camera and swipe between modes, just like the Camera app: • Meal — snap a photo and AI reads the foods and portions • Scan — barcodes are detected the moment you point at them • Eat or Don't — instant 1–100 health score for any packaged product • Gallery — log from a photo you already took • Voice — type or say what you ate Or search a database of hundreds of thousands of foods, powered by USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts. Searching and selecting foods is always free. BEYOND CALORIES Most trackers stop at calories. DietLense tracks 28 vitamins and minerals and shows exactly which are running low — plus the foods that fix each gap. Your Meal Score rates how balanced and nourishing your whole day is out of 100. It climbs as you hit protein, fiber, produce, and micronutrient variety, so you're eating for how you feel — not just a number. MEALS DECIDED FOR YOU Get meal ideas ranked for your goals and the macros you have left today. Every suggestion shows how it moves your score before you commit. Choose from curated eating styles — Balanced, Mediterranean, Keto, Low Carb, Plant Based, High Protein, Lean Cut, Clean Bulk, Glucose Steady, High Fiber, Micronutrient, Prenatal, and Fertility. Switch anytime and your targets, suggestions, and grocery list update to match. GROCERIES THAT BUILD THEMSELVES Your shopping list assembles from your plan's meals, organized by aisle. Check items off as you shop. MEAL PREP Pick your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack and DietLense builds a full week's prep plan, a scaled grocery list, and step-by-step recipes. Log any prepped meal in one tap. STRENGTH RANK Train is a full workout tracker with a ranking system built in. Log your sets and earn a rank for every muscle group — Trainee through Apex, each with three divisions. • Preset splits: Bro, Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, Full Body • Bodyweight training ranked by reps • Build your own custom split from a searchable database of 200+ exercises • Every exercise is scored against its own standard, so a heavy squat and a strict lateral raise are judged fairly • Gentle Start and Prenatal plans for lower-impact training Your lifts carry across splits — change your program and your history and rankings follow. ALSO INCLUDED • Meal history grouped by day, fully editable • Downloadable PDF health report to share with a coach or doctor • GLP-1 dose and side-effect tracking • Apple Health sync • Face ID app lock • iCloud backup and sync across devices • Dietary preferences and allergy filtering SUBSCRIPTIONS DietLense is free to download. Searching the food database, logging foods you select, and barcode scanning are free. DietLense Plus unlocks AI photo scanning, voice logging, meal suggestions, grocery lists, meal prep, and the workout tracker. DietLense Pro adds higher-accuracy scanning and premium plans. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. IMPORTANT DietLense provides nutrition estimates and general wellness information. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Nutrition values from photos are estimates — always verify packaged food labels, especially if you have allergies or a medical condition. Consult your doctor or a registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet or exercise routine, particularly during pregnancy or while managing a health condition.
