Let’s face it — we’ve all stared at a meal wondering, “What am I actually eating here?” Between confusing nutrition labels and mysterious restaurant dishes, it’s hard to know what’s on your plate. That’s why MySideChef built NutriScanner — a friendly AI tool for anyone who’s ever wanted to geek out about their food without needing a science degree.

So What Exactly Is NutriScanner?

Think of it as your food translator from the team at MySideChef. Snap a photo of your meal (yes, even that questionable leftovers combo) or type a quick description like “grilled chicken with quinoa”, and our AI does the rest. In seconds, you’ll get:

🍎 Plain-English Nutrition Insights
Calories, protein, carbs — the basics without the spreadsheet vibe.

🌍 Food Stories, Not Just Numbers
Did you know ancient Aztecs believed avocados had magical powers? NutriScanner shares quirky tidbits to make lunch breaks more interesting.

📱 Zero Judgment, 100% Simplicity
Designed for real humans who just want answers — not a UX puzzle.
