Hey everyone!

I've been diving into a project that stemmed from a familiar frustration. I found myself hitting a wall with exercise routines and healthy meals—keeping things fresh and staying on top of progress felt like a challenge. None of the existing solutions quite clicked for me.

So, I decided to channel my tech skills into something snappy and efficient to tackle this dilemma head-on. The result? I've crafted an initial version of a web app that packs a punch:

Snap a pic to track your meals effortlessly. Instantly get meal suggestions tailored to your dietary preferences (think vegan, Mediterranean, paleo, keto...) with a simple tap, thanks to some nifty machine learning.

I'm already gearing up for future features like exercise tracking and suggestions, lifestyle analytics, progress charts, wearables integration, daily goals, a calendar view—you name it!

I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas on where to take this next!




Good luck. Meal tracking is incredibly difficult, and a camera-based app would be an enormous help... if it can work.

But it's extremely difficult to do well. There is enormous variability. It would be great to be able to say, "Well, that looks like Beef With Broccoli, which is usually around 500 calories per serving, and that looks like around 1.5 servings, so you get X protein and Y carbs..." But it's going to be hard to get even within a factor of 2 for correctness, and it's a case where differences of 100 calories make a difference.
