About Photo Protein
A fast, friendly way to get AI-generated estimates of protein, fat, carbs, and calories from a food photo.
Heads-up: Results are AI-generated estimates. We do not guarantee accuracy, and nothing on this site is medical or nutritional advice. For personalized guidance, please consult a licensed dietitian, nutritionist, or doctor. See our Terms and Privacy Policy.
How it works
- 1 Take or upload a photo. From the home page, snap a picture or choose one from your library.
- 2 See instant estimates. We'll show protein, fat, carbs, and calories with a photo, itemized table, and quick macro breakdown.
- 3 Sign in to save & track. Create a free account to save your history, set a daily protein goal, view charts, and build streaks.
Mixed dishes, stews, and hidden fillings are harder to estimate from a single photo. Lighting and how much of the food is visible also affect accuracy.

Tips for better results
- • Use good lighting. Natural light or a bright kitchen light helps.
- • Show the whole plate. Center the food and keep the plate fully in frame.
- • Show the inside. For sandwiches or burritos, cut in half and show the cross-section.
- • Add scale. Include a fork, spoon, or hand for size reference.
- • Simplify. One plate at a time works best.
- • Angle matters. Overhead or 45° angles work better than extreme side angles.
