Features
Everything you need to track smarter
📸
Photo Logging

Send a food photo and get instant calorie + macro estimates. Works with meals, snacks, packaged foods, and nutrition labels.

🎯
Personalized Targets

Calorie, protein, carb, and fat goals calculated from your body stats and goals using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation.

📊
Live Dashboard

Track daily progress with color-coded macro bars, weekly trends, and meal history — accessible right from Telegram.

✏️
Easy Corrections

Estimates off? Say "that was 2 eggs not 3" or "delete the chicken" — natural language edits, no menus needed.

🔥
Streaks & Motivation

Daily logging streaks with milestones at 7, 14, 21, and 30 days. Streak freezes protect you if you miss a day.

🛒
Grocery Intelligence

Ask "build me a grocery list" and get a personalized shopping list based on your goals, preferences, and budget.

Tips
Get the most out of MealScout
🏷️
Include nutrition labels in your photo for exact numbers — no guessing required. Front + back of a package? Send them as an album.
🎯
Be specific with portions. "1 cup rice" beats "rice." Brand names help too — "Fairlife protein shake" is more accurate than "protein shake."
💡
Better lighting = better estimates. Natural light photos get the most accurate results. Get the whole plate in frame.
📝
Log everything, even roughly. "I had pizza" is better than not logging at all. People who track meals eat ~15% fewer calories on average.

FAQ
Common questions
  • Is MealScout free?
    MealScout has a real free tier forever (unlimited text logging), plus paid Monthly and Annual plans for unlimited photo analysis and coaching.
  • Do I need to download an app?
    No. MealScout runs inside Telegram — just open the bot and start chatting. Your dashboard opens in any browser.
  • How accurate are the estimates?
    AI estimates are typically within 10-15% for common foods. Including nutrition labels or specifying portions improves accuracy significantly. You can always edit after logging.
  • Is my data private?
    Your food data stays in our database and is never sold or shared. We only use it to show you your own tracking data.
  • Can I use MealScout without photos?
    Absolutely. Just type what you ate — "chicken breast, rice, broccoli" — and it'll estimate the nutrition. Photos are optional.
Deep Dive
Everything you can do

Most people just send photos and text. But there's a lot more if you want it.

📋 Logging meals
📸
Send a photo
AI identifies the food and estimates calories, protein, fat, and carbs.
💬
Add a caption to your photo
Something like "grilled chicken 6oz" helps get a more precise estimate. Brand names help too.
🖼️
Send multiple photos as an album
Front and back of a package, or different angles — they're analyzed together as one item.
⌨️
Just type what you ate
No photo needed. "2 scrambled eggs, toast with butter, orange juice" works great.
✏️ Fixing mistakes
👆
Tap the buttons after each log
Every time you log, you'll see Looks Good, Edit, and Delete buttons. Tap whichever fits.
🗣️
Just say what's wrong
"That was 170 not 150" or "delete the chicken" — MealScout understands natural corrections.
🤷
Even vague complaints work
"That's wrong" or just "nope" — it'll show your last entry with options to fix or delete.

Why MealScout Is Different

💸 Priced near compute cost

Most nutrition apps sell generic plans with heavy markup. MealScout is built to keep pricing close to actual AI compute cost while delivering premium-quality analysis.

🎯 Personalized to your habits

MealScout adapts to your meals, patterns, and goals. You get guidance that fits your actual routine, not one-size-fits-all templates.

Our promise: high-quality AI nutrition support at fair pricing, with a free forever entry point and clear value when you upgrade.

Ready to start tracking?

Takes about 2 minutes to set up. Start free, upgrade only if you want more AI power.
