Track deep dish, Italian beef, and everything in between. Free forever, no shame — just calm awareness.
Try It Free Why Chicago Loves ItChicago is a food city. Deep dish at Lou Malnati's. Italian beef from Portillo's. Garrett Mix on Michigan Avenue. A weekend at Smoque BBQ. You don't want a calorie tracker that makes you feel bad about any of that.
AskBeforeYouEat is different. It's a calm, no-shame wellness companion that works with the way you actually eat — not against it. Just say what you had in plain English, and the AI handles the rest. No searching through databases, no scanning barcodes at the table.
And it's completely free. No subscription, no premium tier, no "free trial" that runs out. Because a calorie tracker shouldn't cost more than your morning coffee at Intelligentsia.
Here's what some Chicago staples look like calorie-wise. Not to scare you — just so you can make calm, informed choices.
Had two slices? Log it. Your 7-day trend barely moves. Because one dinner out doesn't define your week — and we'll never make you feel like it does.
"Italian beef, dipped, with hot giardiniera." That's a complete entry. The AI figures out the calories and macros. No barcode-scanning at Portillo's.
Not "free with ads." Not "free trial." Free forever. No subscription. MyFitnessPal charges $80/year for features we give you for nothing.
Open it in your browser — iPhone, Android, whatever. Add to your home screen and it works like an app. No downloading from the App Store.
Moving averages show your real trajectory. A Saturday night at Chicago Cut doesn't register as a setback. Because it isn't one.
The Prime# algorithm sets a calorie target personalized to your body and goals — and adjusts as you change. Not a generic "1,500 calories" for everyone.
AskBeforeYouEat is completely free and works anywhere in Chicago. It uses AI to understand natural language — just say "deep dish from Lou Malnati's" and it calculates everything automatically. No subscription required.
