From Skyline Chili to pierogies — track what you eat in your own words. No shame, no subscription, no cost.
Try It Free How It WorksOhio has a food identity all its own. Cincinnati chili that outsiders don't quite understand. Cleveland pierogies that are a food group. Columbus's exploding restaurant scene. Buckeye candies at every holiday gathering.
Most calorie trackers make you search through databases that don't know what a "three-way" is (it's chili, spaghetti, and cheese — it's about 600 calories). AskBeforeYouEat lets you just describe what you ate, and the AI handles the rest.
"Skyline chili five-way and a root beer." That's it. The AI parses it into calories, protein, fat, and carbs automatically.
The Prime# algorithm sets YOUR daily calorie target based on your body — and adapts as you change. Not a generic number.
One tailgate spread doesn't wreck your progress. Your moving average smooths it out. The trend is what matters.
~650 calories. Cincinnati's signature dish, tracked in seconds. No searching "Cincinnati chili" in a database.
~480 calories. A Cleveland staple. Just say what you had.
~850 calories. Akron's drive-in legend. The AI knows what goes into it.
~700 calories. Buckeye game day essentials. Tracked without guilt.
No subscription. No premium tier. No "free trial." Other calorie trackers charge $80-200/year. AskBeforeYouEat is free — always.
