Restaurant nutrition guide

Track calories and macros when eating out.

A restaurant calorie tracker helps turn an unfamiliar menu or plate into a useful food log. Trayly lets you search supported menus and log by menu item, photo, text, barcode, or manual entry—all in one iPhone app. Trayly Pro adds restaurant meal comparison and AI-assisted meal and nutrition-label analysis.

How restaurant meal tracking works

  1. 01 · Find

    Search a supported restaurant

    Browse available meals before ordering. If a menu is not available, switch to a photo, description, barcode, or manual entry. AI analysis requires Trayly Pro.

  2. 02 · Compare

    Compare with Trayly Pro

    Compare protein, carbohydrates, fat, and how restaurant meals fit your personal daily goals—not just a single calorie number.

  3. 03 · Review

    Check the estimate

    Restaurant recipes and portions vary. Check the serving and nutrition values against what you know about the meal before saving.

  4. 04 · Track

    Save it to your day

    Add the reviewed meal to your history and follow calories and macros against your personal targets.

What the estimate means

Useful guidance, not a lab result.

Menu descriptions and meal photos do not reveal every ingredient, cooking method, or exact portion weight. Trayly uses the available information to estimate nutrition and lets you review the result. For allergies, medical conditions, or dietary decisions, use official restaurant information and professional advice rather than an AI estimate alone.

Restaurant calorie tracking FAQ

What is a restaurant calorie tracker?
A restaurant calorie tracker helps you estimate and record calories and macros for meals eaten away from home. Trayly combines supported restaurant menu search with photo, text, barcode, and manual logging. AI-assisted meal and nutrition-label analysis requires Trayly Pro.
Can Trayly find calories for any restaurant meal?
No tracker can know every recipe or portion exactly. Trayly can search supported restaurant meals and estimate other dishes from the information you provide. Check each estimate before saving.
Is a photo enough to calculate exact calories?
A photo can support a useful estimate, but it cannot reveal every ingredient, cooking method, or portion weight. Trayly treats photo analysis as an estimate to review rather than a lab measurement.
Does Trayly only work when eating out?
No. You can also log home-cooked meals and packaged food by photo, text, barcode, or manual entry. AI-assisted meal and nutrition-label analysis requires Trayly Pro.
Is Trayly free?
Trayly is free to download on the App Store and includes optional in-app purchases. Restaurant meal comparison, advanced restaurant recommendations, and AI-assisted meal and nutrition-label analysis require a Trayly Pro subscription.
