Snap a Photo. Log Your Meal.
Fitnivo's AI food scanner estimates calories, protein, carbs, and fat from a photo of your meal — no more digging through databases to log lunch.
How AI Food Scanning Works
Four steps from photo to logged meal — no manual searching, no barcode hunting for most foods.

Open Fitnivo and take a photo of your plate — restaurant, home-cooked, or packaged food.

Computer vision identifies the items on your plate and estimates portion sizes.

Fine-tune quantities if needed, then save the entry to your daily log.
What Fitnivo's Food Scanner Tracks
Every logged meal feeds your daily nutrition dashboard and your AI nutrition coach, so recommendations are based on what you actually eat — not generic guesses.
AI Food Scanner vs Manual Calorie Tracker
| Task | AI Food Scanner (Fitnivo) | Manual Search Tracker |
|---|---|---|
| Log a home-cooked meal | Photo → estimate → save | Search each ingredient, adjust portions |
| Log a restaurant plate | Photo of the plate | Guess ingredients, hope database has it |
| Time per meal | Seconds | Minutes |
| Ideal for | Fast logging, mixed dishes | Packaged food with barcodes |
Accuracy — What to Expect
AI food scanning is an estimate, not a laboratory measurement. Accuracy is highest when the food is clearly visible, single-item, and photographed from above. It drops with heavily sauced dishes, layered foods, or hidden ingredients.
Fitnivo shows the estimate before you save so you can adjust quantities based on what you know. Over time this gives you a more reliable log than trying to reverse-engineer restaurant meals from a database search.
For pre-packaged foods where precision matters, use the app's search to find the branded entry.
Frequently Asked Questions
