AI meal scanner for gaining
Snap the plate.
Hit the surplus.
Bulky reads calories, protein, carbs and fat from one photo of your meal, and keeps you eating enough to actually grow.
Your plan
How much do you need to eat to grow?
Three questions, then your daily calories and macros. It is the same calculation Bulky runs in the app, and nothing leaves this page.
Your bulk, in numbers
What are you eating for?
Where are you now, and where to?
How many days a week do you train?
- Protein
- —
- Carbs

- Fat

Fine-tune it with the full calculator
Mifflin-St Jeor for your basal rate, an activity and training multiplier on top, then a moderate surplus. Age, height, sex and daily activity all count here.
Inside the app

✏️
Editable, always
A photo can't see the oil in the rice. Treat it as a very good estimate and fix any item after the scan.
Staying with it
The bear grows when you keep logging.
Every logged meal counts toward the next level. It is the part of Bulky that keeps people going after the novelty of scanning wears off — and it is free, never behind the subscription.

Questions
Before you sign up.
When can I actually use it?
Today, on iPhone: Bulky is on the App Store. Android follows.
How accurate is a photo, really?
Treat it as a very good estimate, not a food scale. A photo cannot see the oil already absorbed into the rice or the exact cut of meat. What it is reliably good at is being close enough, every single meal, which beats an exact number you stopped recording in week two. You can correct any item after a scan.
What happens to my meal photos?
A photo is sent to the vision model to be read, and stored against your own account so your history has pictures in it. It is not sold, not used to train anything, and not shown to other people. The full detail is in our privacy policy.
Is it free?
Scanning is the paid part — every scan costs us money to run, so pretending otherwise would just mean a worse app. Streaks, the bear and your history are not paywalled. The app shows the price before you subscribe.
I want to lose weight. Is this for me?
Honestly, no. Bulky only ever calculates maintenance or a surplus — there is no deficit mode, by design. If you are cutting, a general-purpose tracker will serve you better and we would rather say so now.
Do I need to log everything for it to work?
No. The streak counts days you logged something, not days you logged perfectly. Missing a day drops the streak but keeps your history, and the app gives you a way back rather than a lecture.
