CarbCam: Detect carb via photo

CarbCam – Estimate carbs from a photo

Take a photo of your meal, the AI counts the carbs. Concrete values per
ingredient (carbs, kcal, fat, protein, FPU, GI) in seconds — built
specifically for people with insulin-treated diabetes.


▌ CORE FEATURES
• Photo analysis: the AI recognizes individual foods and portion sizes,
returns carbs/fat/protein/kcal/FPU/GI per component and as a total.
• Plausibility check: the app detects unrealistic AI answers and
automatically picks the more trustworthy value.
• Barcode lookup: packaged products are matched against Open Food Facts
and USDA FoodData Central.
• Manual correction: every value (carbs, portion, kcal, FPU) can be
adjusted.
• History: all meals chronologically with photo, location and note.
• Statistics: carbs/kcal/FPU over time, trends, nutrients per time of
day, zoom by week/month/year.
• Similar meals: compare BG curves for the same dishes.

▌ NIGHTSCOUT INTEGRATION (OPTIONAL)
• BG curve under every meal with peak detection, IOB/COB overlay.
• Meal sync as a note treatment (tag "carbcam") — no active carb
treatment, your Loop/AAPS/iAPS calculation remains untouched.
• Works with any Nightscout instance, particularly easy with Managed
Nightscout by NS10BE.

▌ CHOICE OF AI PROVIDER
Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenAI (ChatGPT), xAI Grok, Mistral,
Zhipu GLM, Microsoft Azure OpenAI, OpenRouter (multi-provider gateway) —
