Nutrition Tracking
2 seconds per meal. 2 minutes per week. 93% accurate. Learns your recipes.
Manual Logging Is Killing Your Progress
Over half quit within a month in clinical trials — in real-world apps, it's over 90%.
Turner-McGrievy et al. 2019, J Acad Nutr Diet; Payne et al. 2022, Obesity Sci & Practice; Industry data via Business of Apps
Manual logging takes forever
15-23 minutes per day searching databases, adjusting portions, double-checking totals.
Harvey et al. 2019, Obesity
Generic databases are inaccurate
Generic food databases don't know your portions or recipes. ~62% caloric error on homemade meals.
Urban et al. 2016, JAND
No learning, no improvement
Same tedious process on day 100 as day 1. The app never learns your recipes, your portions, or your habits.
Eatomate was built to fix all three.
How It Actually Works: 2 Minutes Per Week
Not magic. Just physics, statistics, and network effects.
You Can't Eat What You Didn't Buy
This simple physics constraint is what makes 93% accuracy possible
How It Works:
- 1.You buy 1L of milk (barcode scan = 100% accurate)
- 2.You log 4 coffees this week (quick taps, might be ±10% off)
- 3.Milk expires → System knows: 1L went into those 4 coffees
- 4.Backward reconciliation fixes all 4 coffee entries retroactively
Why This Changes Everything:
Other apps rely on your memory and guesswork forever. Eatomate uses mass conservation physics: consumed = purchased − remaining − waste.
Ingredients don't vanish — they go into meals. When the milk expires, we know exactly how much you consumed.
The longer you use it, the smarter it gets. Your recipes are learned automatically from your actual ingredient usage patterns.
3 Weigh-Ins Per Meal Item Type
Weigh your chicken breast 3 times. Your curry 3 times. Your oatmeal 3 times. System learns your typical portion and how much it naturally varies.
Chicken breast: 195g, 210g, 200g
→ Mean: 202g ± 8g
✓ Calibrated forever
90% of Meals: 1 Second
Open app → See top 5 predicted meals → Tap "Healthy Vegan Bowl" → Done. System applies your calibrated 280g ± 10g portion automatically.
• 90%: Single tap (1 sec)
• 9%: Quick search (10 sec)
• 1%: Weigh novel item (30 sec)
= 2 sec/meal
Expiry-Based Physics
Milk expires in 7 days → System auto-reconciles all meals with milk → Learns your actual usage → 93% accuracy without manual work.
• Receipt scan: 15 sec
• 28 meals × 2 sec: 56 sec
• Reweigh 5 staples: 60 sec
= 131 sec (2.2 min)
Competitors: 2+ hours/week • Eatomate: 2 min/week
Save 100+ hours per year. That's over two work weeks of your life back.

Why It Works This Way
The engineering story behind 2 minutes per week
Before settling on what Eatomate is today, I tried everything. 3D reconstruction from photos using COLMAP. Depth-based scanning. Fine-tuned AI vision models trained on food images. Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) to build detailed 3D food models from 2D photos. 3D Gaussian Splatting. I even seriously considered acoustic spectroscopy using a smartphone speaker — before coming to my senses. And yes, at one particularly desperate 2 AM, I genuinely explored analysing heat distortion patterns in steam rising from food to infer its contents. That one I'm not proud of. Each approach was more technically impressive than the last.
Every single one was less accurate than a £10 kitchen scale. Not slightly less — significantly less. The fundamental problem with visual estimation is that density varies wildly. A bowl of rice and a bowl of risotto look identical to a camera. Volume tells you almost nothing about mass, and mass is what your body actually processes.
So I stopped trying to be clever. A kitchen scale gives you ground truth in grams. Mass conservation physics means when your milk carton empties, the system knows exactly how much went into every meal that week. Simple inputs. Rigorous maths. That's why it works.
Sometimes the answer lies in simplicity.
How Eatomate Is Different
93% Accuracy Through Physics
Physics-based reconciliation eliminates systematic errors. Weekly nutrition reports reach 93% accuracy (2σ).
Learn about our accuracy system →Learns Your Recipes
Not generic database approximations. Learns your grandmother's sambar (8.5g oil/100ml, not generic 3g). Your bolognese (12g oil/100g, not generic 5g). Your cooking style.
Reconciliation learns ingredient ratios unique to your household automatically.
Track All Food Spending
Receipt scan captures price + nutrition simultaneously. Groceries, restaurants, meal delivery—all food spending tracked automatically. See cost per gram of protein across everything you eat.

Backed by Science
Research-grade accuracy through scientifically validated methodology
93% Accuracy vs reality in 4 weeks
Week 1-2: Weigh 3 portions per meal type to calibrate. Week 3+: Single-tap your meal from top 5 predictions (90% of meals, 2 seconds average). Physics learns your recipes through pantry reconciliation.
Assumes ≤18% of weekly calories from ready meals and ≤10% from restaurants (Scenario B: modern household). Includes brand variation and database errors. Based on Monte Carlo simulation.
Why 93% Accuracy Matters
When tracking errors eat into your deficit, the difference between 82% and 93% accuracy isn't just 11 percentage points—it's the difference between losing 4 lbs and 10+ lbs over 12 weeks.
Without Reconciliation (82%):
500 kcal deficit → 140 kcal actual
(72% lost to errors)
With Reconciliation (93%):
500 kcal deficit → 360 kcal actual
(Only 28% lost to errors)
