Yesterday's bagel. Skim it, don't savour it.
Summary
Napkin Math is a personalized AI food journal and nutrition coach that helps users track their meals and identify food triggers. The founder was inspired to create the app after a personal health crisis involving severe stomach pain, discovering that existing food tracking apps focused almost exclusively on calorie deficits rather than holistic nutrition tracking. The app aims to make nutrition tracking accessible to everyone through photo-based logging and social features.
