Photo meal logging

Estimate calories and macros from a meal photo

See how BiteCheck turns a food photo into an editable calorie and macro estimate, then add details to make it even more useful.

What you can do

Snap a photo and BiteCheck identifies the foods, estimates portions, and creates calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat for your meal. Add any recipe or portion details you know, then save the entry to your day.

From photo to logged meal

Open BiteCheck, photograph the complete meal, and submit the image for analysis. The app identifies likely meal components, estimates portions, and builds a nutrition entry for review.

One image can capture several foods at once, saving the time of searching for every ingredient. You can see the recognized foods and adjust the entry before adding it to your daily log.

  • Capture the whole plate in even light
  • Include drinks, sauces, sides, and toppings
  • Review the recognized foods and estimated portions
  • Add details with voice or text when the image is ambiguous

Make the estimate even more useful

For mixed dishes, soups, casseroles, smoothies, and restaurant meals, add ingredients or preparation details that are not visible in the photo.

Mentioning oil, dressing, butter, fillings, recipe quantities, or a known portion weight gives BiteCheck more context for the meal.

A practical fit for everyday tracking

Photo logging makes it easier to build a consistent food diary and see calorie and macro patterns over time.

When you want extra detail, add a package serving, recipe quantity, or kitchen-scale measurement. For medical nutrition decisions, use guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.
