About Meal.AI

Get calories, protein, carbs, and fat from any recipe page in seconds. No account. No copy-pasting. Just macros. Full Description Instant macro breakdowns for any recipe on the web. Meal.AI reads the ingredients on any recipe page and gives you a full nutrition breakdown — calories, protein, carbs, and fat — in a few seconds. No account required, no manual entry, nothing to set up. How it works Browse to a recipe. Click the Meal.AI icon. See your macros. That's it. On 20+ popular sites (AllRecipes, Serious Eats, Budget Bytes, NYT Cooking, Bon Appétit, and more), the breakdown appears automatically the moment you click the icon. On any other recipe page, hit "Analyze Macros" and it runs in seconds. What you can do with the results View total macros for the whole recipe or per serving Adjust serving size on the fly ("show macros for 2 of 8 servings") Edit individual ingredient weights if you know your portions Swap any matched food using a built-in USDA search Resolve unmatched ingredients inline — no leaving the page Built for accuracy All nutrition data comes from USDA FoodData Central — the same database used by professional dietitians and food tracking apps. The extension ships with 6,300+ common foods stored locally, so most lookups are instant and work offline. Every matched ingredient shows a confidence score so you know how reliable the match is. Meal.AI handles the messy parts of real recipes: fractions, ingredient ranges, parenthetical weights, unit conversions, and adjective-laden descriptions like "skinless boneless chicken breast." Privacy Zero data collection. No account. No server. Everything runs in your browser. Free USDA API key (optional) Meal.AI works out of the box with USDA's demo key. For unlimited lookups, get a free personal key at fdc.nal.usda.gov — takes about 30 seconds. Supported browsers: Chrome, Edge, Brave, and any Chromium-based browser.
