Training, nutrition, recovery

One AI fitness coach for the plan and the follow-through

Macro apps ignore your training. Workout apps ignore your food. ego is built around one AI that sees both: the coach that plans your training also knows what you ate and how you slept, and a rough night can earn you a lighter session.

  • Calories from a picture

    Take a photo of your food and get calories and macros in seconds. Edit portions, scan barcodes, or just type what you ate in chat.

How ego works

A smarter loop for training consistency

No spreadsheets, no food scales, no rigid programs. Set it up once and let the coach keep the plan honest.

  1. 01

    Set your goal

    Choose fat loss, muscle gain, or maintenance, add your training background and limitations, and get a personalized strength plan with suggested working weights.

  2. 02

    Log food the easy way

    Photo, barcode, or a message to the AI coach: every meal becomes calories and macros in your diary without manual searching.

  3. 03

    Train and adjust

    Miss a session or sleep badly? Skipped workouts wait on your list, a rough night can earn you a lighter session, and the daily analysis tells you what's blocking your goal.

Apple Health and wearables

Coaching grounded in your real recovery data

ego reads sleep, steps, active calories and workouts from Apple Health, and connects to Whoop, Oura and Garmin directly. Daily coaching reflects what your body is actually doing rather than what a template assumed.

Guides

Answers first, app second

Practical guides to the questions people actually ask about AI calorie counting and adaptive training, and how to solve them with ego.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are AI calorie counters?
Published studies put photo-based calorie estimates within roughly 20–30% of the true value, with portion size as the main weak point. That's accurate enough for consistent fat loss when you can edit portions and fall back to a barcode scan. ego supports both. Learn more
Is there an app that counts calories from a picture of food?
Yes. In ego you take a photo of your meal and the AI returns calories, protein, carbs, and fat in seconds. You can adjust portions before saving to your food diary. Learn more
Is there a workout app that adjusts when you miss a workout?
Yes. In ego a missed session never goes overdue or disappears: every workout you haven't done this week stays on your list, so you pick up where you stopped instead of restarting the program or stacking missed days. Learn more
What is the best Cal AI alternative?
Since MyFitnessPal acquired Cal AI, the best alternative depends on what you need. If you want photo calorie logging plus an adaptive strength plan in the same app, that combination is exactly what ego was built for. Learn more
What is a good MyFitnessPal alternative without manual entry?
Look for photo logging, a free barcode scanner, and chat-based entry. ego has all three, so a meal takes seconds to log instead of a database search. Learn more
Is there one app that tracks workouts and calories together?
Most apps pick a side: macro trackers skip training and workout loggers skip food. ego runs both with one AI, so your nutrition targets react to your actual training week. Learn more
How much weight should I lift as a beginner?
Start light enough to finish every set with 2–3 reps in reserve, then add weight gradually. ego suggests a working weight for each exercise and updates it from the sets you log. Learn more
Can I track macros without weighing my food?
Yes. Hand-portion estimates work, and photo logging is the middle path: more accurate than eyeballing, with none of the food-scale friction. Learn more
Can ChatGPT make a good workout plan?
ChatGPT writes a reasonable generic template, but it can't remember your lifts, see which sessions you skipped, or read your health data. ego keeps track of all of it. Learn more
Does ego adjust training to my sleep and recovery?
ego reads Apple Health signals (sleep, steps, active calories, workouts) and factors them into daily coaching and insights, including data synced from Whoop, Oura, and Garmin. Learn more
Can I log meals just by chatting with an AI?
Yes. Tell the Ego Agent what you ate in plain language and it parses the meal into calories and macros and saves it to your diary. Learn more
Is ego free?
ego is free to download on the App Store. A subscription unlocks the full experience: personalized workout generation, smart nutrition tracking, and personal analytics. Get the app
