Problem
Many people find nutrition tracking cumbersome because traditional apps require manual entry of foods, focus only on calories and macronutrients, and lack reliable micronutrient data, making it hard to assess diet quality and meet specific health goals.
Solution
Microgram is a nutrition‑tracking app that uses AI‑powered image and voice recognition to log meals in seconds. Users can snap a photo, speak a description, scan a barcode, or search manually, and the app matches foods to USDA and NCCDB databases to provide accurate values for calories and more than 50 nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids. The platform offers fully customizable nutrient targets with pin/unpin controls and above‑/below‑/exact goal modes, generating a personalized daily score that reflects how well intake aligns with individual objectives. In‑app education explains the role of each nutrient, while weekly analytics highlight gaps and suggest food or supplement adjustments. The solution combines speed, depth, and personalization to help users monitor both the quantity and quality of their diet without extensive manual effort.
