Why I built this: I got tired of diet apps punishing me AFTER I ate. "You're over your calories!" Yeah, thanks — that's super helpful now that I've already eaten the pizza. I wanted something that helps BEFORE the decision — like a nutritionist in my pocket who can look at a menu and say "get the grilled chicken bowl, skip the queso, you'll have room for a snack later." What makes us different: Proactive, not reactive — We suggest swaps and alternatives before you eat Multiple input methods — Photo scan, barcode, restaurant search, or manual entry AI Meal Creator — Snap your ingredients, get a full recipe with macros Coaching OS — B2B tools for trainers to manage client accountability My background: 5+ years as Application Developer / Full Stack Engineer. Previously at Freddie Mac, Marathon Consulting, and Army National Guard. VCU grad. Built Smart Swaps from zero to beta in 3 months. What's next: Accountability Receipts (AI verification of logged vs actual food) Native iOS & Android apps (Capacitor ready, app store credentials in progress) Would love your feedback! What features would make this a daily-use app for you? — Carleton CodeSages LLC codesages-llc.com
