Food tracking without the fuss
Food tracking, simplified.
Log meals in plain English. See your full day, macros, and goals at a glance—backed by USDA data, not AI guesswork.
Works in your browser. No app store required.
Try the search yourself
Type any food below and watch the live preview update—same parsing and USDA results as the app. No signup, no install: just edit the search box or tap an example.
Your turn — type below and see real results on the right.
Or try an example:
No AI in the runtime
tabemate does not use LLMs or AI agents to extract nutrition from what you type. Your logs stay fast, private, and predictable.
- Deterministic parsing Regex and math turn "50g of chicken" into quantity + search text—instantly, on your device.
- Database lookup Matches come from USDA FoodData Central (and your own custom foods)—not generated estimates.
- No black-box calories What you see is what the label says. No "AI guessed my lunch was 400 kcal."
USDA-backed, no-nonsense data
Search official nutrition from the USDA FoodData Central API—branded packaged foods and foundation ingredients. Every hit is tagged USDA or YOURS so you always know the source.
Filter by source (All, Yours, USDA), sort by calories or protein, and narrow by brand—no AI, just the database you chose.
Built for daily use
Everything you need to track food and weight—nothing you don't.
Your whole day, one screen
Breakfast through snacks with macro bars—protein, carbs, and fat at a glance. Navigate days and meals without digging through menus.
Grams or calories in one line
Type “50 g of chicken breast” or “500 cal of chicken breast”—the app parses quantity and food name instantly, then shows USDA matches with the right portion.
Goals that make sense
BMR and TDEE from your profile, calorie targets for lose / maintain / gain, macro splits, and a clear timeline to goal weight.
Pick a pace that fits
Choose moderate or aggressive deficits with projected dates—or set calories manually. Everything stays tied to your TDEE math.
Weight trends
Log daily weigh-ins and watch your trend over time—simple chart, no clutter.
Custom meals
Build reusable meals from USDA ingredients—coffee with soy milk, meal prep, family recipes—log once, reuse forever.
30-day replay
Compare what you ate to what you should have over the last month—including cheat-day adjustments—so long-term progress stays visible.
Cheat days, handled
Set a cheat-day limit per month; surplus calories spread across the next six days so your weekly total stays on track—rules, not AI.
