MyPlate: AI Calorie Counter Food Scanner & Weight Tracker

MyPlate is an AI calorie counter for iPhone that turns a photo or a short written description of a meal into estimated calories, protein, carbs and fat. It handles home cooking, restaurant plates and snacks. Users can take a photo, pick one from their gallery, or describe the dish in their own words, and the AI identifies the meal and adds it to the daily log. Setup takes a couple of minutes. Users enter their age, height, weight and activity level, then choose whether to lose weight, maintain or build muscle. The app calculates a daily calorie target with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation and the activity levels published in the Dietary Reference Intakes. Changing the goal triggers a recalculation of the plan. Protein, carbs and fat each get a ring that fills as meals are logged, which shows which macro is falling short before dinner. Weight management is built in. Users log their weight each day, set a goal weight, and see how far along they are. Weight and calorie charts cover a month, six months, a year or all time, so the trend is visible rather than a single day's number. The food log stays on the iPhone. MyPlate is free to download, needs no account and no credit card, and carries a 4.1-star rating. One AI scan a day is free, and logging more than that requires a subscription. The site also publishes articles on tracking and nutrition. They cover whether fast or slow weight loss is easier to keep off, what a calorie and nutrient tracker cannot see about ultra-processed food, and whether protein per meal matters when tracking macros.
