Photograph the plate at a client dinner, scan the bar in your carry-on, or say what you ate between meetings. Phone Eats First drafts the entry with calories, macros, and 33 micronutrients, and nothing is logged until you approve it.


01The method
Start with whatever is fastest in the moment. Every route ends in the same place: a drafted entry you can review, adjust, and approve.
Point, shoot, return to the conversation. The plate becomes a drafted entry with calories and macros, ready whenever you are.
Just say what you ate, the way you would text a friend: "half a croissant and a flat white." We work out the rest.
Dictate the meal on the walk back to the office. Your words become the same reviewed, detailed entry.
Barcodes and nutrition labels, read in a glance. Made for the hotel minibar, the lounge, and the carry-on.
Search the food catalog, enter numbers by hand, or save the recipes you return to every week.
02Provenance
Every entry declares where its numbers came from, so you always know how much weight to give them. Edit anything before it is logged.
Matched to our food catalog, assembled from sources such as official restaurant nutrition and USDA data.
Drawn from published nutrition information when the catalog has no match.
When nothing better exists, the AI estimates, and says so plainly.

Calories, the three macros, and 33 micronutrients. Set macro targets in grams or percentages, fine-tune any micronutrient, or keep the defaults.
03Your calendar
Nutrition advice tends to assume a quiet kitchen and an empty afternoon. Phone Eats First assumes neither.
