How BiteLog works
Your dietitian gives you a plan. Life does not always follow it.
So you log honestly and note what happened. Your dietitian sees where you really are, and can adapt the plan. One off day does not undo your progress. One kilo of body weight is roughly 7,700 calories. What matters is the honest picture over the week.
The problem
Logging food has always been hard.
Typing every ingredient
Most apps make you search for each item and enter it by hand.
Not your plan
Generic targets that have nothing to do with what your dietitian wrote.
Remembering the month
Check ins rely on memory, so the picture your dietitian gets is blurry.
BiteLog solves this with photo and voice logging, built around your own plan.
The process
Five steps, from plan to weekly update.
- 1
Set up
Add your name and your dietitian.
BiteLog knows who the plan is from and who your weekly update goes to.
- 2
Upload your plan
Give BiteLog the plan you already have.
A PDF or a photo, in whatever format your dietitian writes it. BiteLog turns it into daily targets you can track, like calories and protein.
- 3
Log easily
Take a photo or leave a voice note.
BiteLog estimates the meal and shows what it understood. You review it before saving. You can still log by hand, and add a journal note about your day.
- 4
Connect Apple Health
Add your movement.
Steps, active calories and workout minutes show on Today. Seven day totals go into your weekly update.
- 5
Email your dietitian
Send the week back.
BiteLog builds one weekly update. You review it, BiteLog opens it in your email app, and you press send.
BiteLog reads the Apple Health categories you allow. It does not write health data. Nothing is emailed until you review the update and press send.
Coming next
When you go off plan, BiteLog helps you get back on it.
This is the part I am building now. It is not in the app yet.
Say you have two days left in the week and you have gone well off plan. BiteLog will look at where you are and suggest what you can do to still finish the week close to your plan.
- Knows how far off plan you are
- Suggests what to do with the days left
- Keeps your dietitian's plan as the guide
- See everything planned →

Build my weekly updateAbout estimates
Photo and voice estimates are estimates.
BiteLog labels them clearly. You check every estimate before it is saved.
BiteLog does not replace your dietitian or clinical advice. It helps you follow their plan and tell them how your week went.
