1

Create your account

🌐

Open the app

Go to rippedas.pages.dev in Safari (iPhone) or Chrome (Android/laptop).

👤

Tap Sign Up

Enter your name, email and a password. Your wife signs up separately on her own device with her own email.

✅

Sign in

Once your account is created, switch to Sign In and log in with your email and password. Your data is private to you.

💡

Each person needs their own account. Your data is completely separate — your wife's calories and workouts won't affect your dashboard.

Just describe it naturally — "I had two scrambled eggs on sourdough toast with butter". Claude estimates calories and all macros automatically.

📷

Upload a photo

Tap the 📷 camera icon to upload a meal photo. For best results, also type a description — portion size, cooking method, sauces.

🤔

Answer follow-up questions

If Claude needs more info (e.g. unclear portion), it'll ask one focused question before logging. Just reply and it logs automatically.

💡

Ask for meal suggestions

Not sure what to eat? Ask: "What should I eat? I have 400 kcal left." Claude will suggest meals that fit your remaining budget.

⚡

Quick tip: When uploading a photo, tap the hint buttons that appear (Portion size, Cooking method, Ingredients, Sauces) to quickly add context and improve accuracy.

Tips for better accuracy

The AI is good but photos alone can be off by 20–30%. These habits make a big difference:

Add a reference object — put your hand or a fork in the photo so Claude can judge portion size.

Name the main ingredients — even just "pasta bolognese, medium bowl" helps a lot.

Mention cooking method — "fried in butter" vs "steamed" changes the calorie count significantly.

Flag restaurant meals — "Subway 6 inch chicken" or "McDonald's Big Mac" — Claude knows chain menus well.

Estimate portions — "about 200g", "a large bowl", "palm-sized" all improve accuracy.

Mention sauces and dressings — these are often the biggest hidden calorie sources.

Answer follow-up questions — if Claude asks about portion size, a quick reply locks in a much better estimate.

🧠

The more you use the chat, the better context Claude has. Mention how hungry you are, what time of day it is, or how active you've been for more personalised suggestions.
