Where foodoo is different
A photo, a sentence or your voice
The AI reads the dish and the portion; calories and nutrients come from laboratory data wherever it can. 3 analyses a day are free.
How food makes you feel
A short question after meals, then your own patterns: what keeps you full, steady or sleepy — and a forecast for every meal.
Numbers are optional
“No numbers” mode hides calories everywhere and talks about plants, processing and how you feel instead.
More than a diary
A pet that eats what you log, chats with the people you eat with, a child's food diary kept together, and a GLP-1 mode.

Which one is for you
Pick Lose It! if
you mostly eat packaged food and chain restaurants and want them by barcode, or your tracker or scale talks to Fitbit or Garmin rather than Apple Health.
Pick foodoo if
you want the AI to do the logging, a richer picture than one number — what your food is made of and how it makes you feel — and an app that works without counting at all.

Can I move my diary from Lose It!?
foodoo reads Lose It!'s export: upload it from a computer through a one-time link, or pick the file on your phone. You see a preview first and nothing is written until you confirm; importing the same file twice adds nothing.
Is foodoo more accurate than Lose It!?
The AI recognises the dish and the portion; wherever possible, calories and nutrients come from laboratory data rather than the AI's guess, and any result can be put right with one sentence. No photo-based estimate is exact — the portion is the hardest part, so foodoo also learns from your own corrections.
