Problem
Traditional calorie tracking relies on manual entry, barcode scanning, or estimating portion sizes from flat photos, which leads to inaccurate calorie and macro counts. This imprecision undermines weight-loss efforts and makes it difficult to hit protein targets to preserve muscle while losing fat. Users often end up juggling multiple apps to track food, weight, and activity, fragmenting their progress data.
Solution
GlowUp provides an AI-driven calorie tracker that measures food portions using a depth scan from the smartphone camera as the user snaps a photo of their meal. The app automatically detects individual ingredients—such as Greek yogurt, granola, berries, and nuts—and calculates calories, protein, carbs, and fat in seconds, with the ability to correct any misses in a tap. It remembers past meals and nutrition-label scans for one-tap re-logging. Beyond meals, GlowUp connects with smart scales via Apple Health to track weight, BMI, and body fat, and sets daily step goals and weekly strength targets. For users on GLP-1 medications, the app includes optional injection reminders, dose logging, site rotation, and side-effect tracking. An in-app AI health coach draws on personal meal, weight, and activity data to give individualized advice.
Target Audience
Primary customers are health-conscious individuals who want a more accurate, low-effort way to track calories and macros, as well as people on GLP-1 weight-loss medications who need structured medication adherence and side-effect monitoring.
