About BetterBite

BetterBite (also written BetterBite AI) is an AI calorie and nutrition tracker for iPhone. You photograph a meal; it names each food on the plate, estimates the portion, and logs the calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat.

The problem it exists to solve

Calorie tracking works. Almost nobody keeps doing it. The reason is not motivation — it is that logging a single meal in a conventional tracker means searching a database, picking the right entry out of a dozen near-identical ones, guessing or weighing a portion, and repeating that for every component on the plate. Do that three times a day and most people stop within a fortnight.

BetterBite is built for the person who already believes tracking works and quit anyway. The design goal is not more features than a food diary. It is fewer actions per meal.

How it works

  1. Photograph the meal. One picture, no setup.
  2. Each food is identified separately. A plate of chicken, rice and broccoli is read as three items with their own numbers, not one averaged "chicken dinner".
  3. Portions are estimated in grams, and every estimate is editable. Change the grams on one item and the totals for the meal update with it.
  4. The meal is logged against your daily calorie and macro targets.

Photo estimation is an estimate, and BetterBite says so rather than implying certainty. The useful question is not whether a number is perfect but whether correcting it takes two seconds.

GLP-1 mode

BetterBite includes a mode for people taking GLP-1 medication such as semaglutide or tirzepatide. Appetite falls sharply on these medications and the common failure is losing muscle alongside fat. GLP-1 mode sets a protein floor, scales targets for a much smaller total intake, and tracks protein against body weight rather than as a flat share of calories.

Who makes it

BetterBite is an independent product, built and run by a small team rather than a large company. It is new: it is not claiming a user base, an award or a press quote it does not have. What it can claim is a specific point of view about why food logging fails, and a product built around that one idea.
