Protein gets plenty of attention. Most U.S. adults still fall short on fiber. Snap a meal for a fiber estimate, a breakdown of its plants and ferments, and a gut score with an explanation. The app tracks how many different plants you eat each week, with a goal of 30 inspired by the American Gut Project. Available on iOS and Android.

Hi Product Hunt, Felix here. Protein gets the front of the package, from yogurt to coffee. Meanwhile, most U.S. adults get less fiber than recommended. We built Feed Your Gut to make it easier to see how much fiber you're actually eating.
Take a photo of lunch and the app estimates the meal's fiber, identifies the plants and ferments, and explains what went into its gut score. Over the week, you can see how many different plants you've eaten.
The American Gut Project found that people who reported eating a wider variety of plants tended to have more diverse gut microbiomes. That inspired our weekly goal of 30. A Stanford trial on fermented foods helped shape what we track. We published the research and the rules behind the gut score.
The gut also helps regulate appetite. In a randomized human study, delivering propionate to the colon briefly raised levels of two appetite-regulating hormones. Propionate is one of the compounds gut microbes make when they break down fiber.
If you try it on iOS or Android, scan a meal you eat all the time. What surprised you about the result?
