Overview
meals.chat is a Telegram bot designed to help users track and manage their diet. By sending pictures of meals and drinks to the bot, users can receive an estimation of the calories, macros (protein, fat, carbs), and ingredients in their food.
The AI-powered tool can also estimate dietary information based on text descriptions of meals in case a user forgets to take a photo. Beyond meal tracking, the bot assists with personal goal-setting and planning by allowing users to specify specific calorie or macro targets, or more broadly define their objectives, such as weight loss.
The bot can then calculate a personalized diet plan based on the user's information. meals.chat also enables users to track their caffeine intake by processing pictures or descriptions of drinks like tea and coffee, aiming to help users optimize their sleep and reduce jitters.
For a comprehensive overview, the bot provides daily, weekly, and monthly summaries of diet metrics and charts of macro percentages, indicating whether users are meeting or missing their goals.
