    Hey HN – Odeh here.

    I wanted a quick, no-login tool to understand what I was eating β€” especially when eating out or experimenting in the kitchen.

    So I built WhatTheFood.io β€” an AI food scanner that analyzes a meal photo and returns macros, ingredients, serving size, and how to make it.

    It’s free, no signup, just something I wanted to exist. Great for curious cooks, health-conscious folks, or quantified-self nerds.

    Let me know what weird foods it fails on or if you have improvement ideas.
