Meal IQ - AI Calorie Tracker
AI calorie + macro tracker
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Snap a meal, describe by voice, or type it out — and get instant nutrition. Your data stays on your phone. No login, no spreadsheets, no scrolling-through-barcodes.
Meal IQ is the AI calorie tracker that fits how you actually eat.
Point your camera at a plate, describe a meal in plain language, or type it out — and get instant calorie and macro breakdowns powered by AI. No barcode scanning. No 80-tap searches through bloated food databases. No spreadsheet of every snack you've ever had.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Capture your meal — photo, voice, or text. The AI identifies the ingredients and estimates portions.
2. Macros computed locally using the USDA FoodData Central database (1,200+ foods, bundled in the app).
3. Your daily total lives on your phone. No account. No cloud profile of your eating.
WHY MEAL IQ
• AI Vision — Photograph any plate. Use your hand as a scale reference for portion sizes.
• Voice & Text — Say "I had a turkey sandwich and a glass of milk" or type it out. Same AI, different input.
• USDA Nutrition Data — Real food science, not crowdsourced guesses.
• Apple Health Sync (optional) — Logged calories and macros flow into Apple Health automatically.
• Trends & Insights — 7-day and 30-day charts. Logging streak. Per-meal nutrition labels in the FDA format you already know.
• Favorites — Save the meals you eat often and re-log them with one tap.
• Edit & Adjust — Slider to scale a meal up or down. Edit any logged meal's macros if the AI was off.
• CSV Export — Your full log, downloadable any time.
• Daily Meal-Window Reminders — Optional gentle nudges at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
