Track Your Meals in Under a Minute with AI-Powered Camera Detection

Nutrition and fitness app abandonment rates are alarmingly high—71% of users quit within three months of downloading their app of choice, with 46% abandoning it entirely after just 24 hours[8][11]. The primary culprit? Time-consuming manual entry and overly complex tracking processes[9][24]. Get Movin AI solves this problem by letting you log meals in under 60 seconds using your phone’s camera and advanced AI detection.

Why Traditional Nutrition Tracking Fails

Manual food logging demands meticulous portion measurement and database search. Studies show:

• High burden leads to dropout: Nearly three-quarters of users stop using nutrition or fitness apps within the first three months due to the time required for manual entry[8][11].
• Complex interfaces overwhelm: Users cite “frustrating navigation” and “information overload” as key abandonment drivers[24].
• Simplified tracking boosts adherence: A pilot trial found that a simplified, photo-based monitoring approach yielded comparable weight loss (4.0% vs. 5.7%) and adherence to standard calorie counting over six months[7].

Get Movin AI’s camera-meal feature eliminates manual entry entirely, reducing friction and keeping you engaged.

How to Log a Meal with Your Phone Camera

1. Open the Get Movin AI app and tap the Energy section
   
2. Scroll down to Meals, then tap Log Meal
   
3. Choose Scan with Camera
   
4. Allow camera permissions and wait for the camera to appear
5. Snap a photo of your meal, then tap Confirm & Analyze
   
6. The AI processes the image—just wait a few seconds
   
7. BOOM! Your meal’s ingredients, energy, macros, and nutrition score are displayed
   

Everything takes less than one minute, so logging stays simple and effortless.

Why Get Movin AI Solves a Big Problem

By automating meal logging, Get Movin AI addresses the top reasons for nutrition-tracking abandonment:

• Speed & simplicity: Logging takes under 60 seconds versus 15–23 minutes of manual entry[13].
• Accuracy & personalization: AI-driven detection identifies ingredients and portion sizes without guesswork[9].
• Engagement & retention: Reduced friction keeps users logging consistently, combating the typical three-month drop-off[8][11].

Get Movin AI transforms a tedious chore into a seamless habit—so you can focus on your goals, not on the app.
