Key Features of the AI Nutrition Tracker

One scan gives you more than a calorie estimate. These features make MyNetDiary a complete food scanner nutrition app, not a photo gimmick.

AI-Powered Food Recognition

AI-Powered Food Recognition

Meal Scan identifies individual foods on a mixed plate, from grilled chicken to the sauce beside it, and estimates portion sizes straight from the photo. Review, adjust anything, and save the whole meal in one tap.

Accurate Tracking of Calories and Macros

Accurate Tracking of Calories and Macros

Every scan is matched to verified entries, not crowdsourced guesses, so calories, protein, carbs, and fat stay consistent day after day. In our logging speed test, the same 127 entries took 31% fewer actions than in MyFitnessPal.

A Food Database with Millions of Verified Items

A Food Database with Millions of Verified Items

Your scans draw on 2M+ staff-verified foods with up to 108 nutrients per entry, built on USDA and NCC research-grade data. A trained team verifies 2,500 to 3,500 foods every day.

    The combination of calorie counting and the macro tracker, as well as walking and running a lot more, helped me to lose over 50 pounds in 9 months. I have had many family members and friends notice the change and ask how I have done it, and I always point them to MyNetDiary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI nutrition scanner and how does it work?

It is an app feature that identifies foods from a photo. MyNetDiary's Meal Scan recognizes each item on your plate, estimates portions, matches them to verified database entries, and logs calories, macros, and micronutrients automatically.

How accurate is AI food recognition?

Accuracy depends on the photo and the data behind it. MyNetDiary matches every scan to staff-verified entries built on USDA and NCC sources, and you can review and adjust items before saving.

Is there a free AI nutrition tracker from MyNetDiary?

Yes. MyNetDiary is free to download, with barcode, voice, and search logging and no ads. Meal Scan photo logging is part of Premium, and the AI Coach toolkit comes with Premium Plus.

How does the scanner handle mixed dishes and homemade meals?

The AI separates a plate into components, like rice, protein, and sauce, and estimates each portion. For dishes you cook often, save the meal once and re-log it in one tap.

Can the app connect to fitness trackers and health apps?

Yes. MyNetDiary syncs with Apple Health, Fitbit, Garmin, and more, so exercise, steps, and weight flow into the same dashboard as your scanned meals.

Is my food and health data private?

MyNetDiary is ad-free, and your logs stay in your account. Meal photos are used to recognize foods. The full privacy notice at mynetdiary.com/privacy.html explains how data is handled.

How does AI scanning compare to manual tracking?

Manual entry works, but it is slow enough that many people quit. Scanning cuts a multi-step search into one photo, which makes daily logging far easier to sustain.
