Built for your goal
Whether you're cutting, bulking, or just trying to eat better.
PhotoMeal adapts to the goal you actually have — not a one-size-fits-all calorie counter.
For lifters
Hit a protein target every single day. PhotoMeal estimates grams of protein per plate so you can eat big without the spreadsheet.
For weight loss
A calorie deficit that actually sticks. Log meals in seconds, see your weekly average, and catch slip-ups before they snowball.
For simple tracking
No barcodes. No endless food database. Just a photo — PhotoMeal does the rest so you can focus on eating well.
Features
Tracking so easy, you'll actually do it every day.
Every meal, on one clean timeline.
Breakfast, post-workout shake, late-night fridge raid — it all lands on one scrollable feed with calories and macros at a glance.
- Group by day, week, or meal type
- Re-use past meals with one tap
- Edit portions without retyping anything
Protein, carbs, fats — all calculated for you.
Tap any meal for a full nutrient breakdown. Adjust the ingredients the AI detected if something looks off — you stay in control.
- Accurate protein estimates per plate
- Fiber, sugar, and sodium included
- Fine-tune portions with a slider
See whether you’re actually hitting your goals.
Daily averages smooth out the noise. Catch weeks where protein slips or calories creep — long before the scale tells you.
- Weekly protein & calorie averages
- Streaks for hit-your-target days
- Export your data any time
AI-powered
A nutrition coach that actually watches what you eat.
Log any way you want — a photo, a fridge snap, or a quick sentence — and PhotoMeal's AI turns it into a daily plan and a weekly review you'll actually read.
Three inputs. One clean log.
Don't have a plate in front of you? Just describe it. Not cooked yet? Snap the ingredients. PhotoMeal figures out the rest.
- Photo of the plate“Grilled salmon, rice, and broccoli.”
- Photo of ingredientsFridge snap → a meal you can actually cook.
- Describe what you ate“Two eggs on sourdough and a flat white.”
Daily nudges. Weekly reviews. Zero guilt trips.
Every evening PhotoMeal reflects on your day. Every Sunday it ships a short report: what worked, what slipped, and what to tweak next week.

Loved by the people using it
Real results, real users.
From lifters hitting protein targets to first-time trackers losing their first ten pounds.
“I've tried every tracker out there. PhotoMeal is the first one I've actually used for more than two weeks. Hitting 180g of protein a day without spreadsheets.”
“Down 22 lbs since January. The photo thing sounds gimmicky but it killed the friction that made me quit every other app.”
“The protein estimates are scary accurate. I cross-checked a week of meals against MyFitnessPal and PhotoMeal was within 5g every time.”
“Took a photo of my curry takeaway at 11pm and it figured out the rice, chicken tikka, and naan in three seconds. My old app would have taken ten minutes.”
“Finally an app that doesn't make me feel like I'm doing data entry. I snap, it tracks, and my coach gets a clean weekly report.”
“The weekly trends view is the thing that actually changed my habits. Seeing Sunday calories always spike made me plan around it.”
