Columbus has one of the best food scenes in the Midwest — from the North Market to the Short North to German Village. Tracking what you eat here shouldn't require a nutrition degree.
AskBeforeYouEat is a free calorie tracker that works in plain language. Type "had two tacos from Condado" and it logs the calories and macros automatically. No barcodes. No food databases to search. No subscription ever.
How it works: Type what you ate → get your calories and macros → see your trend over time. That's it. One calm question before you eat.
Whether you're grabbing a sandwich at Katzinger's, ice cream at Jeni's, or a burrito from Chipotle's original test market, AskBeforeYouEat handles it. Just describe what you ate:
You don't need exact measurements. Natural language is the whole point.
