The hard part of a vegetarian diet is not the calories. It is the protein, the iron, the B12, and the calcium. healmeal logs the meal from a photo, surfaces the nutrients that matter for plant-based eaters, and flags low-protein days before you finish them.
For: Vegetarians and flexitarians who want to track plant protein and key micros.
What you get
Protein-per-calorie ratio
Plant sources vary widely. healmeal shows the ratio per meal so tofu and tempeh beat out crackers.
Iron, calcium and B12 visible
Three nutrients vegetarians need to watch. Surfaced on the day view, not buried in a settings menu.
Photo recognition handles mixed plates
Curries, grain bowls and stir-fries are hard to log manually. The camera identifies the components.
Restaurant menu reader
Point at a menu, see which dishes hit protein without going meat. Useful at chain restaurants that hide vegetarian options.
FAQ
How much protein do vegetarians need?
1.2 to 1.6 g per kg of body weight for general health. Push to 1.6 to 1.8 g if you lift. Plant sources are usually less protein-dense, so you may need to plan around them.
Does healmeal support vegan filtering?
Not as a strict mode yet. Most users on plant-based diets set higher protein and fiber targets and use the camera to log normally. Vegan-specific food filters are on the roadmap.
