Need a slimming coach to find your figure ? Want to know how many calories does each dish contain What do you eat every day? Foodvisor may be the mobile app you need.
Very contemporary and in tune with the times, this app allows you to define in a single snapshot the number of calories on your plate and also detail the content, in particular the distribution of macro-nutrients (Proteins, Carbohydrates, Lipids, Fibers) and nutritional information (sodium, magnesium, vitamins, etc.).
What is it about ?
Created by young graduates from Centrale Paris, Foodvisor is a mobile application that allows you, through a simple photograph, to define the nutritional value of a dish.
Available on iOS and Android, the start-up has already been used by a large number of fans of personalized nutritional coaching since January 2018.
The principle is simple: each time you photograph the dish on your plate, Foodvisor begins to identify the ingredients that make it up to deduce the quantity, the number of calories present and the nutritional information.
The application's algorithms currently have more than a million annotated photographs, allowing it to distinguish a thousand different foods. Based essentially on color, this recognition sometimes leads to confusion. But fortunately the application allows you to provide some details on the exact nature of your food in order to correct the algorithm's errors.
My personal test with Foodvisor
Personally, it's an app that I use every day and which has completely revolutionized the way I eat.
Having recently become aware of the issue of nutrition, Foodvisor allows me to cook recipes adapted to my objectives and my lifestyle, based in particular on a low-carb diet. So, without being an ayatollah of slimming diets, I can moderate the carbohydrate intake in my dishes, and increase the lipid intake.
Here are some examples of my dishes scanned by Foodvisor:
