Meet Robin, your
AI nutrition coach
Robin analyses what you've eaten, spots gaps in your nutrition, and suggests what to eat next — personalised to your day, your goals.
I've had eggs for breakfast and a chicken wrap for lunch. What should I eat for dinner?
Great day so far! Looking at your macros:
You need 82g more protein. I'd suggest:
🥩 Salmon with sweet potato & greens
45g protein · 38g carbs · 18g fats · 498 kcal
Perfect to close your protein gap!
If you have that, you'll hit 87% of your targets today. Want me to suggest a high-protein snack too? 💪

Common questions
Straight answers. No corporate waffle.
"What's the catch?"
There isn't one. No premium tier. No ads. No data selling. No trial that expires. Every feature is available to every user, forever. Chowdown was built because nutrition tracking shouldn't cost money.
"Will it become paid later?"
No. Free means free. Forever. We're not building a free tier to hook you and then flip a switch. There is no switch. The commitment is permanent.
"How do you make money?"
Voluntary donations. If you love Chowdown and want to support it, you can buy the creator a coffee. That's it. No pressure, no guilt, no hidden monetisation.
"Is the AI accurate?"
AI estimates are typically within 15–25%. That's not perfect — and we don't pretend it is. But research consistently shows that consistent tracking beats perfect tracking. People who log every meal at 80% accuracy get better results than those who log perfectly for two weeks and then quit.
"What devices does it work on?"
Any device with a web browser. iPhone, Android, tablet, laptop, desktop — it all works. Chowdown is a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means there's nothing to download from an app store. Just open app.chowdown.me and go.
