Meal scanner
Scan the plate, not the database.
Point your iPhone at the meal and Spotwell lists each food with its grams and macros. A few habits make scans noticeably more accurate.
Getting a good scan
Shoot from above, in good light
A top-down photo with the whole plate in frame gives the best portion estimates. Turn on the torch in dim restaurants.
Separate foods scan better
Spotwell splits a plate into foods. Mixed dishes like stews are estimated as one dish, so check the grams.
Confirm what the camera can’t see
Pick the cut of meat, add the dressing, remove what you didn’t eat. Every change updates the totals.
Packaged? Scan the label
Barcode and nutrition label scanning give exact values for anything in a package.
