What is What The Food?
What The Food is a web-based tool (with iOS and Android apps) that uses computer vision to analyze food photos. It takes an image of a meal as input and produces a nutritional breakdown (calories, protein, carbs, fat), estimated portion size, and often a recipe or cooking suggestion. The platform is free to use with no sign-up required for basic scans, and a Premium tier at $9.99/month (billed annually) unlocks macro tracking history, personalized meal planning, and health progress tracking.
