Hey PH, Ethan here 👋 I'm 17. I wrestle, I lift, and about a year ago I got obsessive about hitting my macros for cutting weight. Every tracker I used kept telling me a Pop-Tart had "great macros" because the protein/carb/fat split looked fine. That's not real. A Pop-Tart has 18g of added sugar and Yellow #5. So I started building MealVantage. It scores every food 0–100 based on what's actually in it — ingredients, additives, seed oils, ultra-processed junk — not just the macro math. If a food gets a 30, you know why. Stuff I put a lot of care into: • Photo scanner counts individual items — it'll literally say "6 grapes," not "a handful of fruit" • Meal plans that respect what you like eating (I hate every plan that pretends everyone wants grilled chicken and broccoli) • Fast even on gym Wi-Fi • Apple Health pulls your steps and workouts into the numbers automatically Building this with my mom on the paperwork side (she runs the LLC — I do the code). Shipping updates every couple days. v1.0.5 just went live, v1.0.6 is uploading to Apple as I type this. Would love your honest take — try it, break it, tell me what feels dumb. This is the first serious thing I've ever built and I really care about getting it right. Ask me anything, I'm here all day 🥗
