Why this exists
Most calorie apps were built around one person, one plate.
That model breaks down when dinner is hot pot, mezze, thali, tapas, Korean BBQ, or a family-style stir-fry passed around the table.
Before I Bite starts with the whole dish, lets you split it at the table, and helps each person adjust the portion they actually ate.
The feature no major AI tracker has
Split a shared dish at the table. Everyone logs their portion.
Hot pot. Mezze. A thali tray. Tapas passed around the table. Before I Bite lets you split a shared dish between people and adjust each person's portion instantly - without starting over.

How you log
Photo. Barcode. Label. Quick add. All in every plan.
Many leading trackers paywall AI photo, barcode scanning, or both behind separate tiers. Every Before I Bite plan includes photo, barcode, label, and quick add — free with ads, or ad-free with Pro (7-day free trial).
Recognition in progress

Point your camera at hot pot, mezze, thali, tapas, or last night's leftovers. Get a nutrition estimate you can adjust before saving.
Packaged food lookup

Scan packaged food instantly and keep nutrition details editable before saving.
Nutrition label capture

Photograph a nutrition label when the barcode fails. Before I Bite reads the panel and fills the entry for you.
Speak, type, or favorites

Hands full at the table, or catching up on a meal you forgot? Dictate the dish, type the name, or tap a saved favorite to log routine meals in seconds — no photo needed.
What you're actually tracking
Built for shared dishes, not just solo plates.
Before I Bite is built for hot pot, dim sum, mezze, thali, tapas, injera, paella, churrasco, and family-style tables.
AI estimates are a starting point. You can change ingredients, split the dish, and adjust your share before saving.

Portion control, your way
Adjust any ingredient without starting over.
Shared meals are rarely pre-portioned. You take a bit more rice, less of the main dish, extra sauce, or a smaller second helping.
Before I Bite lets you tweak any quantity on any food item instantly - no logging the meal from scratch, no guessing.

How it works
Scan, split, adjust, then save your portion.
Split the dish
Scan one shared plate, set how many people ate from it, and log your portion without rebuilding the meal.
Adjust your share
Change rice, broth, toppings, sauces, or serving size after the AI estimate, then save what you actually ate.
Start with core capture
AI photo scan, barcode scanner, and label OCR are built into the same logging flow.
