Snap your plate — and forget
Open the camera, snap the plate, close. Calories, protein, carbs, fat — the app calculates on the server. No grams, no searching for «braised chicken breast» in a 90,000-row database.
Eating but not growing? It's about the system
Grow.
Don't get fat.
AI nutritionist counts calories, protein and macros from a photo. You see what's missing — you top it up. Workouts don't go to waste: you grow lean, not soft around the middle.

AI nutritionist watches your protein
Not just a counter — the app reviews your diet and tells you what's missing so the workout doesn't go to waste. «Enough protein?» — «no, here's how to top it up».

The scale moves up — steadily
You see the growth every day. Not «+5 kg by beach season or forget it», but a steady move up. Lean mass, no fat — because the surplus is controlled to the gram.
What's different
Eyeballing it vs systematic bulk
Eyeballing it
Half the gain is fat
- You eat anything without precision
- You don't know if you hit protein
- Workouts wasted
- Fat instead of muscle by summer
MealUp
Lean. Systematic.
- You know your protein to the gram
- AI tells you what to add
- You control the surplus precisely
- You grow muscle, not belly

Real stories
They already grew
★★★★★
Lifted for a year — gained 2 kg and figured I was a hardgainer. With MealUp I got it: I was 50 g of protein short every day. 3 months later — +4 kg lean, shirts tight in the shoulders, not the belly.
D
+4 kg
★★★★★
I ate 5 times a day — figured how could I eat more. Turned out my surplus was just 100 kcal. Bumped it to 400, fixed protein — and it took off, no supplements.
A
+5 kg
★★★★★
The best part — not adding up grams of protein in my head after every meal. Snap, see I'm short on protein by evening, top up with cottage cheese. +6 kg in six months and abs intact.
M
+6 kg
It's math, not magic
1 kg of mass = ~7,700 kcal on top of your target. Surplus + 1.6–2 g of protein per kg of body weight + strength training = weight grows as muscle, not fat.
The hard part isn't «eating» — it's hitting your protein target every day. Without precise tracking the surplus turns into fat. So MealUp makes the diary 3 seconds on a photo — and you actually grow.
Questions
What people usually ask
Won't this just make me fat?
If you eat 5,000 kcal and skip workouts — yes. With a 250–500 kcal/day surplus and 1.6–2 g of protein per kg — you grow lean. MealUp tracks both numbers.
Do I need a gym?
Yes, strength training is required: without it the surplus turns into fat, not muscle. 3 sessions a week + the right surplus and protein — that's enough for steady growth.
How much protein do I really need?
1.6–2.2 g per kg of body weight per day — that's the scientific consensus for muscle growth. At 75 kg that's 120–165 g of protein. The app counts it for you and shows you each evening whether you hit it.
Are supplements required?
No. You can hit your protein target on whole foods: chicken, cottage cheese, eggs, fish, legumes. Protein and gainer powders just make it easier to top up when you don't want another plate. The AI tells you whether you actually need them.
Where does it work: iOS, Android, desktop?
The Android app is on Google Play. The web version opens in any browser — handy from iPhone and laptop. A native iOS app is coming soon.
How much does it cost?
Sign-up and the calorie target are free. The subscription removes photo-recognition limits and unlocks unlimited AI nutritionist advice. Less than two coffees a week.
