Why I built another calorie tracker

I'm Varun, the solo developer behind BitePad.

I started building BitePad because I realized I was spending more time correcting calorie trackers than actually tracking my meals. AI photo logging sounded great in theory, but I often found myself fixing the food, portions, or calories afterward.

So I asked a simple question: What if logging calories could be as easy as telling someone what you ate?

That idea led to BitePad a deliberately minimal calorie tracker focused on just one thing: helping you log meals quickly and accurately, without all the extra complexity.

BitePad - A minimalist calorie tracker for fast meal logging.

BitePad is intentionally minimal. Instead of packing in bloated features, we focus on one thing: making calorie tracking fast and effortless. We avoid AI photo logging because it often misidentifies foods and requires manual corrections. Just speak or type what you ate, review the estimated calories and macros, make any quick edits, and log your meal in seconds. Simple by design, built for everyday use.

What are the 5 tools you simply couldn't do your work without?

This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.

Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):

  1. Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

  2. ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

  3. Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

  4. Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

  5. Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts
