The "Search & Select" Gap

MyFitnessPal requires you to search a database, find the right brand, adjust the serving size, and save—for every single item. This is why 80% of people stop tracking within 30 days. Chela eliminates the friction.

"Consistency beats perfection. If it takes more than 5 seconds to log, you won't do it for long."

Voice-First Nutrition

With Chela, you just speak. "I just ate a chicken salad with lite vinaigrette." Our AI parses the meal, estimates the macros, and adds it to your log instantly.

Macro Capture

"Double espresso and a protein bar."

Real-World Example: Logging lunch at a restaurant

The MyFitnessPal Approach

You're out for lunch and just ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with a side salad.

Result: Start typing "chicken sandwich". Scroll through 40 different restaurant variations to guess the closest one. Manually search for the salad. Log it. Close the app, feeling like a data entry clerk.

Gap: It breaks your social presence and requires tedious manual search.

The Chela Approach

You press the Chela button as the waiter walks away.

Result: "I'm having a grilled chicken sandwich and a side salad with light dressing." Chela accurately estimates the macros and logs the meal instantly behind the scenes.

Win: Tracking is done in 4 seconds. You get back to your conversation.
