How Snap a Meal Works

Your step-by-step guide to becoming a kitchen hero with AI.

1. The Recipe Finder

This is where the magic begins. Turn what you have into what you love.

  • Snap a Photo: Use your phone's camera to take a picture of your ingredients—whether they're on a cutting board, in a bowl, or still in the fridge.
  • Or Type Manually: Prefer to type? You can also manually enter your ingredients to get started.
  • Get AI Recipes: Our AI analyzes your items and generates a list of creative recipes, complete with cooking instructions, times, and nutritional estimates.
  • Save Your Favorites: Love a recipe? Save it to "My Collection" with a single click to access it anytime.

2. The Meal Planner

Take the guesswork out of healthy eating with personalized daily plans.

  • Set Your Goal: First, use the Daily Needs Calculator to define your calorie and macro targets for the day.
  • Generate a Plan: With one click, our AI creates a full day's meal plan (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) that aligns perfectly with your goals.
  • Save & Review: Save your favorite meal plans to your collection for future inspiration and easy access.

3. The Health Dashboard

Stay on top of your nutritional goals with powerful, easy-to-use tools.

  • Define Your Needs: Use the Daily Needs Calculator to determine your ideal daily calorie and macronutrient intake based on your body and goals.
  • Log Meals Instantly: Snap a photo of your finished meal, and our AI will identify the food, estimate its calories, and log it to your daily total.
  • Track Your Progress: Your daily intake is automatically updated and displayed in easy-to-read charts, so you can see how you're doing against your goals over time.
