MenuCoach: Healthy Diet Picks

Snap a menu. Get personalized picks that fit your goal.

MenuCoach helps you order smarter at restaurants. Take a quick photo of the menu, tell us your goal—cut, maintain, or bulk—and your preferences and allergies. We translate the menu into nutrition estimates and show tailored picks with protein, calories, and macros.

## How it works
1. Scan the menu with your camera (photo or screenshot).
2. MenuCoach detects dishes, cooking methods, and likely allergens.
3. Get best picks for your goal with clear reasons and easy tweaks (sauce on the side, grilled instead of fried, whole-grain swap).

## Made for your goals
