LA moves fast. Your calorie tracker should keep up — without the subscriptions, the guilt, or the hassle. Just say what you ate.
Try It Free Why It Works for LALos Angeles has one of the most diverse food scenes in the world. Korean BBQ in Koreatown. Tacos from a truck in East LA. Açaí bowls in Venice. A power lunch in Beverly Hills. Most calorie trackers weren't designed for this — they want you to scan barcodes or scroll through databases that don't know what a birria taco is.
AskBeforeYouEat takes a different approach. Just tell it what you ate, in your own words:
"Two carnitas street tacos with onion and cilantro"
"Large açaí bowl with granola and banana from the place on Abbot Kinney"
"Chicken shawarma plate with hummus and pita"
The AI parses natural language into calories and macros — no searching, no barcodes, no guessing. It works with LA's food culture, not against it.
No subscription. No premium tier. No "free trial" that converts to $80/year. In a city where everything costs something, this doesn't.
Describe what you ate in plain English (or Spanglish). "Burrito from the truck on Figueroa" works. No database searching.
No red bars. No "over budget" warnings. No judgment when you enjoy an In-N-Out burger. Just calm awareness of your trend.

LA culture can pressure you toward perfection. AskBeforeYouEat uses moving averages because the trend matters — not one meal, not one day.
Prime# calculates YOUR calorie target based on your body — and adapts as you change. Not a generic 2,000-calorie number.
