AI Image Search is the fastest way to log your foods by snapping a photo of your meal. With AI Image Search you can take a photo of your plate or upload one from your gallery and MacrosFirst will find each food in its serving size.
Unlike other apps, AI image search in MacrosFirst combines the power of AI image detection with our 100% verified food database so you get the same trusted nutrition information that you expect from MacrosFirst.
Photo scanning for nutrition may not be 100% perfect every time, but it is way to speed up logging by eliminating the manual data entry. That's why we've added it to MacrosFirst to be part of your food logging toolkit alongside AI Search where your can search by voice and searching individual foods in the database.
