MacroScan is a mobile app that helps you determine the macronutrient content (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates) of your food by simply taking a photo.
I made MacroScan. Some of my friends brought the idea to me that I should make an app that uses millions of photos of food along with their macronutrient data to eventually be able to take a picture of a random food item, and accurately get it's macronutrient contents. And that's what I made.
By the way, the link directs to a private GitHub repo, I'm using this to gauge a public interest and see if people like it, it will be on the IOS App Store within a month.
Hey Anthony, MacroScan sounds super cool! A couple of questions:
- How accurate is the macronutrient data from the photos?
- Is there a feature for scanning multiple items at once?
- Will there be an Android version soon?
Excited to see where this goes!
@michaelgreen the nutrient values returned from the image are within 80% of the real macronutrient data.
All items scanned in the image are factored in and predicted as a meal, if you want to scan multiple items separately, you have to take separate pictures.
Yes there will be an Android version, IOS first, Android shortly after.
