Calories & macros from a photo in 30 seconds: a NutriAI guide

If you’ve ever tried “proper” calorie tracking, you know two things:

1. it works,
2. it can turn into a second job.

NutriAI is a Telegram bot that estimates calories and macros from meal photos, so you can log consistently without scales and spreadsheets. Below is a simple flow to get the most value in ~30 seconds.

Why tracking fast matters (more than tracking perfectly)

• Consistency beats precision. 80% accuracy daily is better than 100% once a week.
• Portions and “leaks” move the needle. Oil, sauces, drinks, “a small bite” — often the difference between deficit and plateau.
• Lower friction = higher adherence. When logging takes a minute, it becomes a habit.

What NutriAI can do

• Estimate calories and macros from photos. Send one photo or multiple.
• Highlight common accuracy pitfalls. Sauces, oil, sugary drinks, unclear portion size.
• Ask 1–2 quick follow-ups. Faster than typing, and improves the estimate.
• Let you adjust with buttons. For example: 0.5× / 1× / 1.5× for portion size.
• Help you use the numbers. Practical, non-judgy tips for real life.

How it works: the 30‑second flow

1. Open NutriAI on Telegram.
2. Take a meal photo and send it. Make sure the full portion is visible.
3. Answer a follow-up (if shown). Usually one question about sauce/oil/drink or what’s inside the dish.
4. Adjust the portion, if needed. If it was bigger/smaller, this is the fastest lever.
5. Save to your log. Done — calories/macros without manual counting.

Who this is especially useful for

• People cutting weight who are tired of weighing everything.
• Anyone stuck at a plateau — to find 1–2 main calorie “leaks”.
• People who eat out often — restaurants, delivery, office lunches.
• Anyone tracking macros (protein/satiety/training) without the time to do it manually.

Summary

If you want to stop guessing “how much was that?” and start using numbers you can actually track every day — NutriAI is built for speed.
