Count calories from a photo of your meal
Logging food shouldn't mean weighing rice or searching a database for "banku, medium". Take a photo and Dunu recognises the foods on your plate, estimates the portion and works out the nutrition for you.

Snap your plate
Use your phone camera or upload a photo. Shared plates and mixed dishes work too.
- 02
Check what we found
Each food gets a label and a portion. Correct a name or set how much you actually ate and the totals update.

See how it fits
Get calories, macros and the key vitamins, minerals and fats, plus scores for how the meal fits your goal.
