Ember now features a powerful AI nutrition coach, get personalized advice for weight loss, muscle gain, or healthier eating. Track calories and macros in seconds by snapping a photo or describing your meal. No barcode scanning. No manual search. Stay consistent and reach your goals, without the friction.
Every calorie tracking app I have tried dies in week three, not because the tracking is hard but because logging starts to feel like homework and people abandon it. Your AI coach addition is interesting here because the real retention problem is not accuracy, it is motivation and the feeling that someone is paying attention.
Curious whether the coach is purely reactive (you ask it something and it answers) or whether it proactively reaches out when it notices patterns, like three days of low protein or skipping tracking altogether. That proactive layer is where I think this category can actually change behavior rather than just measure it.
I’ve entered my datas and got a calories diet to 1000 calories which I find seriously low, is it supposed to be short term only or should I have turned on another functionality ?
this is not something I would use personally but I think issa great product for my gym bros and fitness friends.
are you planning to make it usable for all languages(as it uses AI)?
And, wouldn't that reduce the accuracy of calculation?
I often fail at managing my weight, so I’ve been looking for apps that let me log my body each morning and then suggest calorie targets or even recommend what I should eat that day or the next. In that sense, this app seems like it could be really helpful.
I've given up on macro-tracking apps after a few weeks because it was too much work long-term and felt like a chore.Something like this could keep me engaged long term. Good luck!
When the AI coach makes personalized recommendations, is it working from general weight loss information or can it account for specific health conditions for example, someone managing PCOS where standard calorie advice doesn't always apply?
Nice to see this ship! The AI coach sounds like the key piece. Does it mostly give reactive advice based on my logs, or can it proactively suggest meals for the day based on my goals?
Are users able to enter in any dietary restrictions and have the app identify when there is (or might be) those restricted items in the food? That'd be huge for people trying to avoid certain ingredients.
Wow! Meal scan makes it so easy to use in a daily basis. Feel you gonna rock it Mus. All the best here
Hello Ember! This app is amazing, i live in south korea and I typed the korean food in korean not in english or french. It recognized the almost appropriate food and I am not sure about the exact calories about Galbitang I typed whether that is accurate or not but I am pretty satisfied the easiness of just typing the words and it recognized calories approximately really well.
However , I am a free user, is it okay to register for pro before I cancel for using 2 days? Does it send me notifications or not? I am wondering. In addition, Recipe is pretty cool because it is in healthy western style but I am used to Asian cuisine so It will be more better if the Recipe contain more dining options!
Great healthy Ember!
Actually It may work stably if it is having both type of presentation one is with camera- photos of that meal, again one another when we speak to it. One more thing is; it should also change with environment, suppose we are in hot sun we do not need eat much but drinks required.
