Bite AI: Photo Calorie Scanner

I purchased an annual membership last year, but the app has repeatedly failed to perform basic functions that are essential to its use. Specifically: Poor Food Label Scanning: The app rarely scans food labels successfully. In most cases, it fails to recognize or properly capture the nutritional information from packaging. Inaccurate Photo Estimates: When I take photos of food items, the app’s nutrition estimates are frequently incorrect. I find myself having to manually correct the information on nearly every item, which defeats the purpose of using a photo-based tracking tool. Unable to Delete Items: There is no reliable way to remove incorrect items from my daily log. Attempting to delete entries does not work. I’m forced to zero out items to prevent them from affecting my daily totals, which is inconvenient and not intuitive. These issues have persisted since I first subscribed, and I have not seen any meaningful improvements. As a paying member, I feel that the app does not currently deliver the functionality I expected.

Sometimes it works fantastically. Mostly when you have a nice perfect flat nutrition label to scan. If you have something round and small for example - overnight oats from Trader Joe’s…it’s a small round container and it can’t scan the label and you can’t take more than one photo per food entry. Now you can manually input the macros - but when you do it automatically changes other values?! For example I put 250 calories, 6G fat, 42G of Carbs, 6g Protein it will drop calories to 184, or it will increase carbs to 44? If I change the amount from the default 100g to anything else it completely wonks up my macros and magically it becomes a 150 calorie 10g protein oatmeal. Let us insert custom values and stop changing them with your “ai”. When you select “fix with ai” it’s no different than using a random number generator. This seems like it should be an easy fix. There’s also no way to enter sodium, sat fats, sugar etc…why not?

BiteAi reminds me of MyFitnessPal, but with no limit to your macros visibility. It lets you log meals, track weight, and monitor macros over the week instead of just focusing on daily numbers, which I appreciate. The weekly breakdown makes it easier to see progress without stressing over every single meal. It also tracks BMI, though I take that with a grain of salt since it doesn’t tell the full picture. Still, it’s a solid tool for staying on top of my nutrition and fitness goals without overcomplicating things. This app is a great alternative to MyFitnessPal. Support small businesses ;) Also, doesn’t crash or move slow.
