Bitesnap uses image recognition to give food calorie information
New app Bitesnap can tell how many calories are in a meal from a photograph by using machine learning. The app identifies the dish and provides calorie information as well as macro breakdowns, and can take into account weight, height and BMI for users looking to determine how many calories they should consume. The app is available on the iOS App Store and Google Play from creators Bite AI.

Introducing Bitesnap - The Smart Photo Food Journal

Not only does Bitesnap identify the foot item on your plate, it also does some pretty impressive work as far as figuring out how much of it is actually there. And it’ll give you more than just caloric data — rather, you can get a full breakdown of all your macros using the app. You can check out a pie chart of your carbohydrate, protein, and fat consumption, and set (or adjust) your targets to help you achieve your fitness goals.

Of course, to get a better, more holistic view of your health, you can also enter your weight, height, and calculate your BMI in the app. This can actually help Bitesnap determine what your ideal food intake ought to be. The app can even remind you when to eat (in case that’s somehow a problem for you).

Currently, the app is available on both the iOS App Store and Google Play, though it doesn’t look as though integrations with wearables are yet available. That said, it’s still relatively new, so these updates could be coming soon. The app itself is free, and the reviews thus far have been quite positive. So if you’re looking for a way to make good on your health-related New Year’s resolutions, this app just may be able to help.
