How it works

An AI model looks at the photo, identifies each food, estimates the portion from what is around it (the plate, the cutlery, your hand) and adds up calories, protein, carbs and fat for each item. In FittyBitty you then see every item and can fix any number before saving.

How accurate is it?

Good enough to be useful, not good enough to trust blindly. Photo estimates are strongest on simple plates where you can see every ingredient. They struggle with hidden calories: oil in the pan, butter in the sauce, dressing under the salad. That is why a quick review step matters more than the speed of the scan.

Five habits for better estimates

1. Shoot from above, with the whole plate in frame.
2. Leave a fork or your hand in the shot so portion size has a reference.
3. Photograph sauces and drinks separately if they are on the side.
4. Add a note about anything hidden: "cooked in butter", "large".
5. Check the biggest item's number. If that one is right, the total usually is.
