The simple way to eat better.
Meet the app that helps you build a balanced plate — no counting, no weighing, no starting over on Monday.
the problem
Every diet works — right up to the day you break it.
the solution
A balanced plate isn't a strict diet. It's a habit that survives your worst days.
the argument
Why balance, not calories?
Losing weight requires a deficit. Counting gets you there by shrinking your meals. Balance gets you there through smart proportions tailored to your body.
Veggies naturally lower calories
They fill the most room for the fewest calories, so half a plate brings the total down and the meal stays the same size.
Protein and fiber keep you full
A quarter plate of protein and the fiber from the veggie half hold you to the next meal, with no hunger in between.
Your portion is sized to your body
Your hand scales the plate to your personal norm. You eat what's right for you, not a chart.
the method
No bad foods. Just good company.
Everything stays on the menu when you keep the right mix: half veggies, a quarter protein, a quarter carbs, and a little fat.
The proportions are based on the Harvard Healthy Eating Plate.

Why this score?
Rice is half the plate, veggies a quarter. For losing weight, swap those two around. More salad, less rice, and the score goes up.Good balance across the board — rice, chicken, and salad are all in a healthy range. Nothing to change here.Strong plate for gaining weight. The rice that runs high on a weight-loss goal is exactly the fuel you want here — and the chicken backs it up. Keep this one.

the problem
Calorie counting requires grams. But no camera can weigh your food.
the solution
That's why we track proportions. Your photo shows what you eat. Your hand scales it.
honesty
Portion won't invent a number.
If we can't see your food clearly, we'd rather ask you to try again than guess blindly.
A clear photo
Gets a full analysis. Every part of the plate is accounted for in the score.
A rough shot
Gets an honest estimate. We evaluate what's visible without making things up.
An unusable shot
Gets a 'Try again.' You can describe the meal instead, and we'll score it from that.
one piece at a time
Consistency beats perfection.
Logged days stack up and stay yours. A skipped day, a rough week, or a vacation won't erase your progress. With Portion, you never start from zero again.
faq
Questions, answered
Isn't this just calorie counting by eye?
We track proportions, not calories. Portion analyzes the ratio of veggies, protein, carbs, and fat on your plate. Instead of logging numbers, you get a clear balance score and see exactly what to tweak for your next meal.
Will I actually lose weight?
Yes, if you keep the plate balanced most days. Scaled to your hand, it creates a deficit without starving you — and that's the only part you have to do. Want to gain or just eat healthier? Set your goal and the proportions adjust with it.
Does it work with how I eat?
Yes. Vegetarian, gluten-free, home-cooked, or dining out — Portion focuses on the balance of ingredients, so it works with whatever is on your plate.
What happens to my photos?
Each photo is read once, for that meal, and stored with your log. Delete the meal and the photo goes with it.
