Why switch to healmeal instead of MyFitnessPal.
healmeal replaces the search bar with a camera. Snap a photo, scan a barcode, point at a menu, or describe a meal in words. Logging that took a minute on MyFitnessPal now takes a few seconds, which is what keeps the streak alive.

Why pick healmeal
If you log more than once a day, healmeal saves you minutes per meal and keeps the habit stuck. Stay on MyFitnessPal only if you genuinely need its long tail of community-submitted entries.
What you get with healmeal
healmeal is built around one promise: logging your food should take seconds, not minutes. The camera identifies the plate. The barcode scanner reads the label. The menu scanner reads a restaurant menu and ranks dishes by your remaining macros. If none of those fit, type a sentence and the model figures it out. Pick whichever is fastest. That's it.
MyFitnessPal goes the other way. The default flow is search a name, pick the right user-submitted entry out of twenty near-duplicates, edit the serving size, save. Four meals a day is three or four minutes spent inside the app, which is why most people stop opening it on busy days and the streak dies.
healmeal also keeps you consistent when willpower drops. Thirteen iOS widgets surface today's calories, protein, and your streak on the home screen and Lock Screen so you log without opening the app. Personalised notifications fire when you're behind on protein or have a habit gap, not on a fixed daily schedule. The combination is what makes the difference at week six, not week one.
Switch to healmeal.
Snap a photo, scan a barcode, point at a menu, or describe a meal in words. Whichever is fastest. On the App Store.
