With its science-backed AI nutrition coaching and its voice and photo recognition for easy meal tracking, Alma is comprehensive enough to have a meaningful impact on your eating habits yet simple enough to use every day.

What we love: Getting a quick view of where we stand with our daily nutrition goals from the Home tab, then taking a closer look at how we can improve. Tapping on our day’s sugar intake, for example, quickly lets us know how we maxed out our added sugars, shows us our seven-day average intake and suggests the chat “Tell me more about mindful eating with sugar” for suggestions about savouring sweetness without overdoing it.

Quick tip: When it’s almost dinner time and you’re looking to get back on track towards a particular macro or calorie goal for the day, head to the Explore tab and filter the Recipes by “Hit my goal”. Or go to Ask Alma to inquire about ideas for adding more protein to your upcoming dinner.

Meet the creator: Alma’s Canadian founder, Rami Alhamad, tracks his every meal in the app and is continually improving it based on feedback from real users.
