Know what to order before the food arrives.
Point your camera at a restaurant menu and MyCal AI reads every dish, estimates rough nutrition, and tells you what fits your goal — recommended, caution, or avoid — before you order, not after.
Scan a menu before your next meal out.

- Read the menu — MyCal AI extracts individual dish names from the photo, even on long or dense menus.
- Estimate nutrition — each dish gets a rough calorie and macro estimate based on typical preparation for that cuisine.
- Get a verdict — dishes are marked recommended, caution, or avoid based on your goal (weight loss, muscle gain, maintenance) and any health conditions you've shared.
- Order with confidence — nothing is logged automatically; it's advisory support for the decision, not a diary entry.
Why this matters more than counting after the fact
Most nutrition apps only help after you've already eaten — you log the damage and move on. Menu Scan shifts that decision earlier, to the moment you're actually choosing, which is where it can change the outcome instead of just recording it.
Frequently asked questions
What does MyCal AI's menu scanner do?
It reads a photo of a restaurant menu, extracts the individual dishes, estimates rough nutrition for each, and flags dishes as recommended, caution, or avoid based on your goal and any health conditions you've set.
Does menu scanning log anything to my food diary?
No. Menu Scan is advisory only, meant to help you decide what to order before you eat — nothing is logged until you actually scan the plate afterward.
Can it account for conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure?
Yes. If you've noted a health condition in your profile, the menu scanner factors it into each dish's recommendation, in general educational terms — it does not provide medical advice.
