We make Know My Meals. Lose It! facts below come from its own pages, linked under Sources.

Why Know My Meals

Photo, voice and text, all included

Take a photo of the plate and add what the camera can't see, say the meal, or type it. The meal is saved the moment you send it, and the estimate fills in right after. In Lose It!, voice and photo logging are Premium features1. In Know My Meals they come with the one plan.

Edit each ingredient

Say "a slice of pepperoni pizza and a side salad with ranch". Know My Meals returns the crust, cheese, pepperoni, greens and the ranch as separate lines with amounts. The ranch was a small cup? Change that line. Had two slices? Set the pizza lines to 2×. Skipped the croutons? Remove them. The total follows.

Ask about your own eating

The coach reads your log and targets. Ask "Where do most of my calories come from?" and it answers with your foods, not general tips.

ChatGPT and Claude, on your own log

Connect Know My Meals to Claude or ChatGPT and ask there. They can read your food log but can't change it. See Connect your AI.

Built by a founder who listens. Know My Meals is made by its founder, Samarth Mamadapur, who reads the feedback that comes in and uses it to decide what to fix and build next. Tell us what's off or missing on the help page, or under You > Help and feedback in the app.
