Discover the tools that make PlateLens the smartest AI calorie counter available.
PlateLens uses advanced computer vision and AI to analyze photos of your meals. Simply point your camera at any plate — whether it's a home-cooked dinner, a restaurant meal, or a grab-and-go lunch — and get a complete nutritional breakdown in seconds.
Our AI recognizes individual ingredients, estimates portions, and calculates calories, protein, carbs, fat, and key micronutrients. No typing. No searching through databases. Just snap and track.
Get guidance from AI coaches with unique personalities and coaching styles. Whether you prefer tough love or gentle encouragement, there's a coach for you. Your coach learns your habits, adapts to your goals, and sends personalized tips and motivation.
It's like having a nutritionist in your pocket — available 24/7, with no appointment needed and no judgment. Ask anything, track your progress, and let your coach keep you accountable day after day.
Point your camera at any barcode or nutrition label for instant, accurate data. Our extensive database covers millions of products worldwide. If a product isn't in our database, the AI reads the nutrition label directly from your photo — no manual entry required.
From grocery store staples to international imports, PlateLens handles the lookup so you spend less time searching and more time making great choices.
Go beyond just calories. PlateLens tracks protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, sugar, sodium, and more. Set personalized targets based on your goals — whether you're cutting, bulking, or maintaining.
Visual charts show your daily and weekly progress at a glance. Understand not just how much you're eating, but what you're eating — and make smarter choices every day.
PlateLens syncs with Apple Health and Google Health Connect to bring all your health data together. Steps, weight, body measurements, and nutrition data — all in one place.
Your AI coach uses this combined data to give you smarter, more personalized recommendations. See the full picture of your health, not just isolated nutrition numbers.
No more scrolling through dropdown menus or searching exercise databases. Just describe your workout in your own words — in any language — and PlateLens's AI instantly estimates calories burned based on your body weight.
Works with or without a wearable. If you have an Apple Watch or Android fitness tracker, exercise calories sync automatically. Manual logging adds on top — you control whether burned calories increase your daily allowance.
Build healthy habits with PlateLens's smart streak system. Track your daily logging streak, earn achievements, and get personalized reminders at the right time.
Streak recovery features ensure one missed day doesn't erase your progress. Your coach celebrates milestones and keeps you accountable — through the good days and the tough ones.
PlateLens is available in English and Spanish, with AI that understands meals from every cuisine on the planet. Whether you're eating sushi in Tokyo, tacos in Mexico City, or pasta in Rome — our AI recognizes it and provides accurate nutrition data.
The interface, your coach's messages, and all nutrition content adapt to your preferred language automatically. No setting changes needed.

Quick answers about how PlateLens works.
Take a photo of your plate and PlateLens's AI identifies the ingredients, estimates portion sizes, and logs calories, protein, carbs, and fat in seconds. You can review the result and adjust anything before saving.
The free plan never expires and requires no credit card. It includes every feature with daily allowances for AI photo scans and coach messages, plus unlimited manual logging, unlimited barcode scanning, full nutrition tracking, and Apple Health and Google Health Connect sync.
Static calculators estimate your calorie needs once, using population-average formulas. PlateLens's adaptive algorithm keeps learning from your actual food logs and weight trend, and recalibrates your calorie target as your real metabolism changes.
Yes. Corrections work in natural language: type or dictate what to change — for example "it was grilled, not fried" or "half the rice" — and the AI updates the analysis. There is no food-database picker to dig through.
PlateLens is available for iOS on the App Store and for Android on Google Play. The app is fully localized in English and Spanish, and the AI recognizes cuisines from around the world.
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and it is never sold to advertisers or third parties. You can export or permanently delete your data at any time, in line with GDPR and CCPA.
Join thousands of people who log their meals in seconds, stay consistent, and reach their nutrition goals — all powered by AI.
