Barcode scanners are great — for the small slice of your diet that comes in a packet with a barcode. For everything else (home cooking, restaurant plates, a handful of nuts, grandma's stew) there's no barcode to scan and no perfect database entry to search. Here's how to track those meals anyway.
Take a photo of the plate and let an AI calorie counter identify the items and estimate portions. This works for exactly the meals barcodes can't handle: mixed plates, home cooking, and eating out. It's the fastest method for a full meal.
Type a short description — "chicken burrito bowl with rice, beans and guac" — and let the AI break it down. Great for meals you didn't photograph, or when you'd rather not pull out the camera.
You don't need a barcode or a spreadsheet to count calories. You need a fast way to capture a meal and a reasonable estimate — which is exactly what photo and text logging give you.
