Analyze fat from a food photo
total, saturated & trans
Snap your plate and MenuMeld's AI estimates total fat, saturated fat and trans fat for the dish — three of the 10 macronutrients it reads from every meal. Excess-focused verdicts flag high saturated fat and any trans fat, so you keep the fats that matter in check.
The fat in your meal, from one photo
Take or pick a photo and AI recognizes the dish, gauges the portion, and estimates its fat profile — no scrolling food databases, no guessing oil and fat content by hand.
Total fat per dish
AI estimates grams of total fat for the recognized food and portion, written into the meal entry once background analysis finishes.
Saturated fat broken out
Saturated fat is tracked as its own field, so fried, creamy and fatty-meat dishes show their hidden sat-fat load — not just total fat.
Trans fat detection
Trans fat is estimated separately. Because any amount matters, the app marks any value above zero as excess.
Recognize & portion
Gemini Vision identifies the dish and gauges serving size before estimating fat, calories, cholesterol and the rest.
Review before saving
Every fat value is editable. Adjust grams, swap the dish, or fine-tune the portion before the meal is logged.
Across five daily slots
Breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and supper each carry their own fat numbers, so heavy slots stand out at a glance.
Not all fat is equal — and the app knows it
Logging the grams is step one. MenuMeld then judges your saturated and trans fat against personalized reference limits, on-device, so you see when a day tips into excess.
Sat & trans are excess-focused
For these nutrients the app collapses the "deficit" bands — the goal is staying under the limit, not hitting a minimum.
Any trans fat = excess
Trans fat has no safe intake, so any value above zero is flagged immediately, not buried in a daily total.
Personalized limits
Reference limits adjust by age and biological sex, so the verdict fits you rather than a generic average.
Daily & weekly fat trends
See total and saturated fat as animated 7-day charts with a reference rule line, and spot the days that ran high.
Plain-language guidance
Each over-limit nutrient shows what it means in everyday terms — general guidance, not medical advice.
Private, on-device, offline
The fat math runs on your device and works offline; entries sync across iPhone and iPad with iCloud.
Straight facts: total fat, saturated fat and trans fat are part of the 10 macronutrients the AI estimates from your photo — these really are read per meal. The over-limit verdicts and 7-day trends are then computed on-device from what you log, compared against age- and sex-adjusted reference limits. Estimates from a photo aren't a lab measurement; every value is editable before you save.
About photo fat analysis
The AI looks at your food photo, identifies the dish and portion, and estimates total fat, saturated fat and trans fat along with calories, cholesterol and the other macros. These are estimates from a photo, not a lab measurement, but you can review and adjust every value before saving.
Yes. Total fat, saturated fat and trans fat are three of the 10 macronutrients recorded for every meal. The app uses excess-focused verdicts: high saturated fat is flagged, and any trans fat above zero is marked as excess.
Saturated and trans fat are excess-focused nutrients, so the app compares your daily intake against age- and sex-adjusted reference limits on-device. Bands run from adequate to excess and over the upper limit, helping you keep saturated and trans fat in check across the day.
The app is free to download and includes a few AI trials. AI photo recognition is part of the paid AI Pro plan at US$9.99/month for unlimited analysis. You can always log fat and other nutrients manually for free.
