DietPal

Say what you ate. DietPal logs the calories. DietPal is an AI calorie tracker, nutrition and macro tracker, and food diary you can talk to. No searching a food database. No photographing your plate. Speak or type a meal, and DietPal names the foods and grams, then grounds the calories and macros in USDA FoodData Central ā the U.S. Department of Agriculture's public nutrition database ā or DietPal's own dish table. Only when neither has a match does it estimate, and every log shows you which source was used.
