Step one

Write the meal in your own words

Type it, say it, or photograph it. The same words you’d use telling a friend will do.

“Chicken stir fry with rice from the Chinese near work”

“2 Weetabix with semi-skimmed milk and a banana”

“Large Domino’s pepperoni pizza, had about half”

“Nando’s half chicken with spicy rice and a bread roll”

Step two

We find the nutrition data

We work out what you ate and match it against published nutrition data, rather than a pile of user submissions.

Restaurant & branded food: Pulled from official nutrition pages: Nando’s, Wagamama, Greggs, McDonald’s, and hundreds more
Whole foods: Matched to verified food databases with accurate portion data
Composite meals: Broken down into individual components, each sourced separately
Portions: reads “a large bowl”, “about half” and “two slices” without needing exact grams

03

Step three

See where every number came from, change anything that looks off, and put your phone down.

Every calorie is traced back to its source: official brand pages, verified databases, or clearly marked estimates
Edit any value yourself if you think it’s off; your corrections are saved for next time
Calories, protein, carbs, and fat broken down clearly with colour-coded macros

04

Three ways to log

Like sending a message to someone. There is no list to scroll.

Speak while you’re cooking. Say what you had and we write it down.

Photograph the plate. Home cooking, a meal out, or a packet.

Before you go

Macronote comes to iOS first, Android after. The waitlist gets one email, the day it’s on the App Store.
