Which app tracks micronutrients from a photo of my food?

Several apps do. Cronometer Photo Log maps a plate photo to a verified database of up to 95 nutrients. SnapCalorie claims 100+ micronutrients from a photo. Micron says 29 nutrients from a single photo. NutriCam, on iPhone, shows vitamins and minerals such as iron, B12, magnesium, and iodine on the photo card. Cal AI’s own pages name calories, protein, carbs, and fat. A photo cannot measure a vitamin. Confirm the foods. Oils stay invisible.

Facts above come from each app’s own website, help center, or App Store listing on October 6, 2026. We did not weigh meals, so nothing here is an accuracy ranking.

Use Cronometer when the vitamin number has to come from a verified diary and you will still edit the plate. Use SnapCalorie when you want a standing free photo log and a claimed 100+ nutrient panel. Use Micron when you want a 29-nutrient card from one photo and you accept its FAQ that a barcode beats a picture. MacroFactor photographs meals on the paid plan and then changes weekly calorie and macro targets. Feast photographs the plate, asks you to correct it, and names micronutrient gaps on the listing.

NutriCam is our app, and it is iPhone only. Photograph a meal or say what you ate, confirm the estimate, and see calories, macros, and vitamins and minerals. Then ask what to eat next from today’s log, targets, workouts, and Apple Health sleep when connected. What the app is: what is NutriCam. How the next-meal answer works: what should I eat next.

A photo cannot measure a vitamin

Iron, B12, magnesium, and vitamin D do not show up as pixels. A camera sees the outside of the plate. It cannot see oil in the pan, sauce under the topping, fortification in the milk, or the gram weight of the serving.

Cronometer’s Photo Log blog, read October 6, 2026, calls the photo an advanced search. It tells you to add missed extras such as butter, cooking oil, and condiments. The saved numbers come from NCCDB and CFCD after that review. SnapCalorie’s FAQ, the same day, says the main place for photo logging is eating out, where measuring oils and cooking fats is impossible, and the app makes an educated guess from dish type and visual cues.

Micron’s FAQ, read October 6, 2026, says to barcode packaged food for the amounts on the label, and to treat a restaurant or home-cooked photo as an overview. It also says nothing replaces a blood test if you need an exact level. Feast’s site says a camera can observe a plate and cannot remember the recipe.

Independent photo tests of ChatGPT meal photographs (O’Hara et al., Nutrients, 2025) found 13 of 16 nutrients more than 10% off. That paper is not a ranking of the apps in the table. It is the same limit: the picture is a guess until you confirm the foods. Kitchen tests of photo calorie apps ran low on energy and fat. Details: how accurate are AI photo calorie counting apps.

No app can measure a meal from a photo. A picture cannot show oil, sauces, hidden ingredients, or portion weight. Every number from every app on this page is an estimate until you correct the foods and portions. We have not run an accuracy test across these apps, so this page makes no accuracy ranking.

Calorie cameras that stop at macros

Cal AI photographs food and returns calories, protein, carbs, and fat. We found no vitamin or mineral claim on its website or App Store listing as of October 6, 2026. That job is a count. This question is a vitamin and mineral log from a plate photo.
