Describe your meals in plain English — MealMerit's AI identifies every ingredient, looks up verified nutrients, and tracks your progress toward all 28 daily values.
No feature bloat. No learning curve. Log your meal in seconds and move on with your day.
Enter what you ate — quantity, unit, and food — and get an instant nutrient breakdown.
See how each meal moves the needle on calories, protein, vitamins, minerals, and more.
Automatic alerts when you're low on key nutrients or exceeding recommended limits.
Foods you log frequently are saved for one-tap re-entry — no retyping needed.
Nutrient values are sourced from USDA FoodData Central and AI estimates. Values are approximations for informational purposes only, not medical or dietary advice.
MealMerit tracks your daily nutrient intake against the FDA's Daily Values (DV%). Here's how it works.
The Diary tab has an integrated entry form with a segmented control: ✏️ Enter Food (log a meal), 🍽️ Today's Meals (review what you've logged), and 📊 Your Progress (daily nutrient summary). In Enter Food, type naturally with Describe It or add items precisely with Build It. Tap Get Nutrients, then Add to Daily Log.
Save foods you eat often for one-tap re-entry. Add foods by description, search, combo, nutrition label scan, or manual entry.
Save combinations of foods as meals (e.g., "Morning Oatmeal") for quick logging. Pick from your Foods or Boosters to assemble meals.
Energy Targets show calories, protein, carbs, and fat as rings. Nutrient Targets highlight 8 key nutrients with color coding. All 28 nutrients shown as grouped bars. Tap 📧 Email Progress to receive a styled daily report in your inbox.
Check Boosters for 30 nutrient-dense foods organized by the gaps they fill — protein, iron, calcium, vitamins, and more.
Daily Value (DV%) is a reference amount set by the FDA for each nutrient. 100% means you've met the full recommended daily amount. The goal is to reach 100% for beneficial nutrients while staying under 100% for limit nutrients (sodium, saturated fat, cholesterol, sugar).
Every entry screen — Log Food, Foods, Meals, and Boosters — uses the same segmented pill toggle. Describe It (always the default) is the fastest way — type naturally like "2 eggs, toast with butter, and OJ" and AI breaks it into items. Build It gives precise control — enter each item, quantity, and unit separately. Foods and Boosters also have Scan and Custom entry. Either way, nutrients come from the USDA database.
