Calorie counter bot for Telegram

Meals.Chat started life as a Telegram bot in 2024 and it still lives there. Open @mealschatbot, send a photo of what you're eating, and the reply comes back in seconds: what it was, the calories, protein, carbs and fat, and where your day stands.

Start on Telegram

How to start

  1. Open @mealschatbot in Telegram (the button above does it) and press Start.
  2. Send a photo of your meal. A sentence works too: “latte and a croissant”.
  3. Read the reply. If something's off, say what's different: “no cheese”, “half of it”, “two of those”.

What comes back

One readout per meal: what it was, the calories, then protein, carbs and fat in grams, then where your day stands against your goal if you've set one. Ingredients and caffeine are there when you ask. Nothing is labelled good or bad; it's a number, and the day's running total.

Good to know

  • Works in Telegram on every platform: phone, desktop and web.
  • Buttons under the keyboard for today, week, goals and history, or just type the word.
  • Invite three friends and get 30 days of Pro.
  • Drinks count too, including the caffeine in coffee and tea.

Common questions

Is it a bot or a person?

A bot, backed by an AI model that reads the photo. A person reads the support inbox: hello@meals.chat.

How accurate is it?

It's an estimate from a photo, so portions are approximate. Tell it what's different (“no cheese”, “half of it”) and it re-estimates in a sentence. For packaged food, a photo of the nutrition label gives it exact numbers.

What does it cost?

Your first 15 meals are free. After that Meals.Chat is $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, and you can cancel any time. Pricing details.

Is my account shared across channels?

No. Each chat is its own account, so your meals, free tier and subscription stay in the chat you started in.
