Three AI-Powered Ways
to Scan Food Instantly
Momentum's AI food scanner uses advanced computer vision and natural language processing to identify food from virtually any input. Whether you scan a barcode at the grocery store, snap a photo of a nutrition label at a restaurant, or simply tell the AI what you ate, the result is the same: accurate calorie and macro data logged in seconds. No manual searching, no guesswork, no tedious data entry. The AI nutrition scanner handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on eating well.

Point your device's camera at any packaged product barcode and get instant nutritional data pulled from a database of millions of products worldwide. The barcode food scanner recognizes UPC, EAN, and QR codes from products sold across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.

Manual Entry
Input exact macro values when you know the precise nutritional content. Ideal for homemade recipes, custom meal prep batches, and foods with known macros.
Meal Templates
Save your go-to meals and snacks as reusable templates. Log your usual breakfast, post-workout shake, or weekly meal prep combo with a single tap.
Recent Foods
Quick-access your recently logged items for foods you eat regularly. Re-log yesterday's lunch or this morning's coffee in seconds without searching.
Everything Tracked,
Nothing Missed
Every food you scan or log through Momentum's AI food scanner is broken down into a complete nutritional profile. You get far more than just a calorie count. The scanner tracks seven key nutritional metrics against your personalized daily goals, giving you a precise picture of what you are putting into your body throughout the day.
Daily Goals & Progress
Set personalized calorie and macro targets based on your body composition goals. Visual progress bars update in real time as you scan and log food throughout the day. See exactly how much protein, carbs, and fat you have remaining at a glance, keeping you on track whether you are cutting, bulking, or maintaining.
Weekly & Monthly Trends
Zoom out from daily numbers to see the bigger picture. Momentum's nutrition analytics dashboard reveals weekly calorie averages, macro distribution patterns over time, and long-term adherence to your goals. Spot trends like weekend overconsumption or weekday protein deficits, and adjust your eating habits with data-driven confidence.
Meal Timing Insights
Track when you eat, not just what you eat. Momentum logs timestamps for every meal and snack, building a timeline view of your daily eating pattern. Understand your meal frequency, identify late-night snacking habits, and optimize nutrient timing around workouts for better performance and recovery.

Questions Answered
How accurate is the AI food scanner?
Momentum's AI food scanner delivers high accuracy across all three scanning methods. Barcode scans pull verified data from databases of millions of products, so the nutritional info matches exactly what is printed on the package. The nutrition label scanner uses advanced OCR specifically tuned for nutrition facts panels and achieves near-perfect extraction in good lighting conditions. AI meal descriptions provide reliable estimates based on standard portion sizes and USDA reference data — accuracy improves the more detail you provide in your description. For all methods, you can review and adjust values before logging.
What barcodes does Momentum support?
Momentum's barcode food scanner recognizes all major barcode formats used on food products worldwide, including UPC-A (United States and Canada), EAN-13 (Europe, Asia, and international products), UPC-E (compact US barcodes), and EAN-8 (small products). The scanner draws from Open Food Facts and other databases containing millions of products from grocery stores, convenience stores, and specialty retailers across dozens of countries. If a product isn't in the database, you can use the nutrition label scanner or AI description as alternatives.
Can I scan nutrition labels in any language?
The nutrition label scanner works best with English-language nutrition facts panels, which follow a standardized format that the AI recognizes with high accuracy. Labels in other languages that use the standard tabular nutrition format (common across Europe, Australia, and many international markets) are also supported. For labels in non-Latin scripts or unusual formats, you can always use the AI meal description feature instead — simply describe what you are eating in English and the AI will calculate the nutritional breakdown.
Is the AI food scanner really free?
Yes — every AI scanning feature in Momentum is completely free with no limits. You can scan unlimited barcodes, photograph unlimited nutrition labels, and use AI meal descriptions as many times as you want. There is no premium tier that locks away scanning features, no daily scan limits, and no trial period. Momentum is ad-supported, and we may offer an optional subscription in the future to remove ads, but the AI food scanner and all other features will always remain free for everyone.
