Macro Tracker

Protein, Fat, Carbs — From a Photo.

@vustCalBot doesn't stop at a calorie number: every scan returns protein, fat and carb grams too, and /today adds them up into a running daily total. Free 3 scans a day, then 1✦ each — an estimate, not a scale.

Honest scope

An estimate to track trends, not a scale

Protein, fat and carb grams come from the same photo-based estimate as the calorie count, so they carry the same honest uncertainty — useful for spotting whether today leaned carb-heavy or protein-light, not for hitting a gram target exactly. Every result repeats the same disclaimer: an AI estimate from a photo, not medical or dietary advice.

/today only covers the current UTC day — no weekly view, no editing, no stored photos.

Photo in, macro grams out — summed daily with /today.

The question a calorie number alone doesn't answer

The question

Hitting a daily calorie target says nothing about whether today's protein is anywhere near a target — a 500-kcal meal that's mostly carbs is a very different day than 500 kcal of protein and vegetables.

What @vustCalBot returns

Send the photo — back comes kcal AND the protein/fat/carb gram breakdown, plus the portion it assumed and a confidence line. The same honest disclaimer rides along: an AI estimate from a photo, not medical or dietary advice.

A worked macro breakdown

The photo

A grilled chicken breast with steamed broccoli and a small portion of rice, plated at home.

The estimate

"Grilled chicken with broccoli and rice — approx. 480 kcal (42g protein, 9g fat, 52g carbs), standard home portion assumed. Confidence: medium-high — chicken portion size is the main variable." That single message carries what a manual macro log would otherwise take several lookups to assemble.

Adding it up across a day

Three scans, three meals

Breakfast, lunch and dinner each sent as separate photos over the course of a day.

/today

One command sums everything scanned since UTC midnight into a running total — calories, protein, fat and carbs — without opening a spreadsheet or a separate tracking app.

02·Practical use cases

Protein-focused eaters

Caring about protein grams as much as total calories

Every scan returns protein/fat/carb grams alongside kcal, not calories alone.

05·Quality & trust

Honest scope — estimate, not a scale

Estimate, not lab-grade

Macro grams share the same photo-based uncertainty as the calorie count — useful for spotting trends, not hitting exact targets.

/today is UTC-day only

No weekly view, no editing, no stored photos — just the current day's running total.

Not-food never charged

A photo that isn't food costs nothing on either tier.
