Tracking what you eat shouldn't feel like a chore. With Gains' Health Commander feature, simply snap a photo of your meal and let our AI do the heavy lifting - instantly providing detailed nutritional analysis without manual logging.

The Problem with Traditional Food Tracking

Most nutrition apps require you to manually search for each ingredient, estimate portions, and log everything by hand. It's time-consuming, error-prone, and often leads to people abandoning their tracking goals within weeks. We knew there had to be a better way.

Step 2: AI Analysis

Our advanced computer vision AI, powered by GPT-4o, analyzes your image in seconds. It identifies individual ingredients, estimates portion sizes, and calculates nutritional values based on extensive food databases.

Step 3: Get Your Results
