TrueCal isn't for everyone. Here's who loves it most.
Use TrueCal to save meals. ChatGPT estimates do not automatically enter your food log.
You've tried calorie trackers before and quit because they were too tedious.
You eat out often and hate searching databases for "grilled chicken salad, no croutons."
You want tracking to work, but not at the cost of your sanity or time.
