Food carts, craft beer, legendary brunch — track it all in plain language. Free forever.
Try It FreePortland has one of the most vibrant food scenes in America — and one of the hardest to track with a traditional calorie counter. Food carts don't have nutrition labels. That incredible brunch spot doesn't list calorie counts. Your favorite brewery definitely doesn't.
AskBeforeYouEat works differently. Just tell it what you ate in your own words: "pad Thai from a cart on Hawthorne and a hazy IPA." The AI figures out the calories. No scanning barcodes that don't exist. No scrolling through a database looking for "Portland food cart pad Thai."
It's calm, it's free, and it fits the way Portland actually eats.
| Portland Favorite | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Food cart pad Thai | 550–750 | Varies by portion and protein |
| Smash burger + fries (food cart) | 900–1,200 | Double patty with sauce |
| Bánh mì sandwich | 400–550 | French bread, pork, pickled veg |
| Brunch benedict (eggs, hollandaise) | 700–950 | With hash browns, add 200+ |
| Vegan bowl (grain, veg, sauce) | 450–650 | Common at Portland restaurants |
| Craft IPA (16 oz pint) | 250–350 | Higher ABV = more calories |
| Craft sour/gose (12 oz) | 150–200 | Lower ABV, fewer calories |
| Donut (Voodoo / Blue Star style) | 350–500 | Specialty donuts run higher |
| Korean BBQ tacos (2) | 500–700 | Depends on size and toppings |
| Ramen (tonkotsu) | 600–900 | Rich broth adds up |
Portland doesn't eat from chain restaurants with published nutrition data. AskBeforeYouEat uses AI to estimate any food described in plain language — including your favorite food cart.
Brunch on Saturday and donuts on Sunday? Your moving average barely shifts. We track the trend of your week, not the perfection of any single day.
No subscription. No "premium" features locked behind a paywall. No "free trial" that expires. Just free. Built by TruePrime AI because wellness tools shouldn't cost money.
Portland values authenticity and kindness. So do we. No red warning bars, no "over budget" guilt trips. Just calm information about where your day stands.
AskBeforeYouEat is completely free and designed for real food — not just chain restaurants. Describe what you ate from any Portland food cart, restaurant, or brunch spot, and the AI handles the rest.
Just type what you had: "Korean BBQ tacos from a food cart" or "falafel wrap with tzatziki and fries." AskBeforeYouEat's AI estimates calories from the description. No barcode or database entry needed.
A 16 oz pint of IPA (6–7% ABV) runs about 250–350 calories. Sours and session ales are lower at 150–200 per 12 oz. Stouts and imperial IPAs can push 300–400+. Just tell AskBeforeYouEat what you drank.
Absolutely. Portland's vegan scene is world-class, and AskBeforeYouEat handles it all. "Vegan grain bowl with tempeh and tahini dressing" works perfectly. Plant-based food gets the same AI treatment as everything else.
MyFitnessPal requires searching a database or scanning barcodes — which doesn't work for most Portland food. AskBeforeYouEat uses AI to understand plain language descriptions. Plus it's actually free (MyFitnessPal Premium is $80/year).
