HOW TO USE MEAL PIC: 1. Answer a few questions to set your calorie and macro targets 2. Snap a photo of your meal* 3. Get calories, protein, carbs and fat* If you want to change your body, Meal Pic will get you there with less time spent than anything else. We aren't another complicated diet app. Meal Pic reads your whole plate — a bacon cheeseburger comes back as bun, patty, bacon and cheese — so if a number looks off, you fix one line instead of starting over. Scan a barcode, search foods, or just type what you ate. The rest is on you, and we'll back you up the whole way. If you have any ideas or questions, please email us at help@mealpic.app. NOTE: Meal Pic is a general wellness tool, not a medical device, and nothing in it is medical, nutritional or dietary advice. Every number is an estimate. Please consult a doctor or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet. *FOOD SCANNING REQUIRES MEAL PIC PRO TERMS: https://mealpic.app/terms.html PRIVACY: https://mealpic.app/privacy.html

Both are free to download. ScanLean AI sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Meal Pic sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for ScanLean AI against 4.9 for Meal Pic.
