What the App Does
You log the meal with a photo. The app does the arithmetic against a target set for your body.
AI Food Scanner
Take a photo of a meal and get an estimate of its calories, protein, carbs and fat. It works on home cooking, restaurant plates and snacks. If a photo isn't handy, describe the dish in words instead.
Macro Tracking
Protein, carbs and fat each get a ring that fills up as you log, so you can see which one you're short on before dinner.
Calorie Counter
Get a daily calorie target tailored to your goals, calculated with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation and the activity levels published in the Dietary Reference Intakes. Choose to lose weight, maintain or build muscle, and the number is set to match.
Weight Management
Log your weight each day and set a goal weight. The app shows how much of the way there you are.
Personalized Diet Plans
Your daily calorie and macro goals come from your age, height, weight and activity level. Change your goal and the plan is recalculated.
Progress Charts
Weight and calorie charts over a month, six months, a year or all time. The trend tells you more than any single day's number.
Getting Started
Setup takes a couple of minutes.
Download & Set Your Goal
Install MyPlate for free on your iPhone, enter your details and choose whether to lose weight, maintain or build muscle. The app calculates your daily targets from that.
Scan or Log Your Meals
Take a photo of your food, pick one from your gallery, or just describe the dish in your own words. The AI identifies your meal and adds calories and macros to your daily log.
Track Progress & Adjust
Check your daily stats, log your weight, and watch the weight and calorie charts fill in. Update your goal whenever it changes and your plan is recalculated.
What It Costs
Download free and set up your personalised plan in minutes. One AI scan a day is free; logging more than that needs a subscription.

Does Protein Per Meal Matter When Tracking Macros?
