Love the idea of gamifying the calorie tracking experience @jasonwang1024 🤩 I downloaded it, and I loved it.✨ You've answered my top questions I've been pondering about for macro tracking apps (to a point of also thinking whether I can build my own) - What should I eat today? - How many calories are in this meal? - What should I be thinking about, because I just ate "x" (in my case, it recommended to me that I focus on eating a more nutrient dense food, like oats for breakfast instead of my electrolyte tablet) - I had a big breakfast, what can I have for lunch or dinner. Some features I would like to personally see if I had the power: - I would like to understand my weekly calorie intake. - Maybe some more information like whether foods are inflammatory, and can cause you being bloated. I would love to hear your thoughts on some questions: - I see my workout and steps are not recorded, is this feature of integrating with apple health still in progress? - What was your inspiration to build a macro tracker, considering there are so many in the market. - How long did it take you to build it? - How do you ensure accuracy in your AI Scanning? Having previously done something similar (admittedly less cool), I don't know if my results were ever really accurate, unless I add a nutritional database (like fatsecret) into the mix. Great product, I love it, I'll likely continue to use it. Nice! 🤩🎉

@jason25 Hey Jason, lots of good points and questions, I'll try to be brief and not turn this into an essay :) - Glad you like it, and great suggestions btw! Weekly intake analysis is available in premium but maybe we should make it more discoverable! Food inflammitory sounds helpful too. - Apple health integration is coming soon! - Hard to give an estimate on time but I'd say a year or two. - It is hard to ensure the accuracy of AI scanning, especially if you only rely on AI. A good practice like you mentioned, is to only use AI for identifying the food & portions, then fallback to food database searches. But even so, it can be off (e.g. it can't tell a cup of water from a cup of sprite)

@jason25 This is a hugely competitive market tho, there are so many new ones releasing I even gave up tracking lol. But yeah I actually built another calorie counter 5 years ago so this is a more polished version with a twist
