Core features:
- Snap a photo of your food, and the app identifies ingredients, portions, and gives a full breakdown (a (a chain of databases and finally fallsback to gemini).
- Barcode scanner with health scoring and smarter alternatives.
- AI Diet Coach that adapts to your goals and eating habits.
Smart Eat Out (The Part That Blew My Mind to Build):
So I built Smart Eat Out (Inside the scan feature – it will recognize the food place you are at), which uses:
- GPS + contextual clues to auto-detect your restaurant or brand.
- Live web scraping of the menu, even if it’s a photo or PDF.
- Fallback NLP processing if scraping fails or it’s handwritten/menu-board-style input.
- Data merging from OpenFoodFacts, USDA, and my own labeled food database.
- Gemini 2.0 fallback for AI-powered estimation when there’s no structured data available.
