MyPlate
Point your camera at a meal, get calories and macros
MyPlate is an iPhone calorie counter that reads your meal from a photo. Point the camera at your plate or describe what you ate, and it returns calories, protein, carbs and fat. It sets your daily target from your height, weight, age, activity and goal using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, and every number behind that is cited at myplate.site/sources. There is no account. Your food log is stored on your phone rather than on my server, so there is nothing to sign up for.
I'm a mobile developer in Germany. I've spent the last five years building apps for other people. MyPlate is the one I built for myself, in Swift, for iPhone.
What it does: photograph your plate, or just type what you ate, and you get calories, protein, carbs and fat back. It works out your daily target from your height, weight, age, activity level and goal.
There are two decisions in it I went back and forth on, and I'd rather explain them up front.
The first is that there's no account. Your food log is saved on your phone. The photo is sent off to be analysed and my server keeps none of it, so there's nothing to sign up for and no database of other people's meals for me to look after or lose.
The second is that every number in the app has a citation. The formula behind your calorie target, the macro splits, the minimum daily calories the app will not go below, all of it is listed at myplate.site/sources with the research behind it. I would rather you check my arithmetic than take my word for it.
Accuracy is the first thing I would ask about if this were someone else's app, so please do ask. Same for anything else. I'll be here in the comments.

Who hunted MyPlate?
MyPlate was hunted by Emad Alshawakri. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
