Macro Tracker

Protein, Fat, Carbs — From a Photo.

@vustCalBot doesn't stop at a calorie number: every scan estimates protein, fat and carbs too, and /today adds them into a current UTC-day total. The first 3 successful scans are free; later accepted photos debit Balance when sent, with failed paid analyses refunded.

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.

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.
Practical use cases

Who reaches for a macro tracker

Protein-focused eaters
Caring about protein grams as much as total calories
Every scan returns protein/fat/carb grams alongside kcal, not calories alone.
Daily total watchers
Wanting a running macro total across a full day's meals
/today sums every scan since UTC midnight into one total.
Free-tier trackers
Wanting macro estimates without a subscription
3 free scans a day, forever — not-food photos are never charged.
How it works01–03

How macro tracking works

  1. 01

    Send a food photo

    To @vustCalBot in Telegram — no app, no manual food-database search.

  2. 02

    Get protein/fat/carb grams back

    Alongside kcal, dish name, portion assumption and a confidence line.

  3. 03

    Check /today for the daily sum

    A running total of every scan since UTC midnight — scans, kcal, and macros.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I track protein, fat and carbs, not just calories, from a photo?

Yes — every scan from @vustCalBot returns protein, fat and carb grams alongside the calorie estimate and dish name, not calories alone.

How do I see my total macros for the day?

Send /today. It sums every scan recorded since UTC midnight into a running total: number of scans, combined calories, and combined protein/fat/carb grams. It only covers the current day — there's no weekly or historical view yet.

How accurate are the macro grams, specifically protein?

They're estimates derived from the same photo the calorie count comes from, so they carry the same honest uncertainty — sauces and hidden fat are common sources of error. The confidence line on each result reflects that. It's built for a general sense of your macro split, not lab-grade precision.

Is macro tracking free, or does it need a subscription?

The first 3 successful scans each UTC day are free. After that, an accepted food photo debits Balance when sent; there is no separate confirmation step. Rejected non-food photos and failed paid analyses are refunded.

Does it store my macro history for trend charts?

No — there's no durable food log beyond the compact numbers /today sums up for the current day. Photos themselves are never stored at all; only the numeric result persists, and only long enough for /today to use it.

Is this dietary advice about hitting specific macro targets?

No. Every result — the welcome message and every scan — repeats the same disclaimer: this is an AI estimate from a photo, not medical or dietary advice. Setting or hitting specific macro targets for a health condition is a job for a professional, not this bot.
