Lose It! Alternative: Skip the Barcode Hunt
Lose It! is genuinely good at packaged food. Scan a barcode and you get an exact match. The problem starts the moment you eat something without a barcode, which for most people is most meals. Avocal takes the opposite approach: photograph the plate and the AI identifies what is on it, no database search and nothing to type.
