Competitors mentioned: Other photo-based calorie counter apps, Apple Health/fitness apps, Manual food logging apps
Concerns raised: Photos cannot detect invisible ingredients (milk, butter, sugar, oil, dressing), No depth information to determine actual portion sizes, Cannot see what's hidden behind visible food, Accuracy issues with messy or mixed plates, Same limitations as every previous attempt at this concept
Feature requests: Smartwatch integration with rest timer notifications, Voice logging for workout tracking, Zero-effort logging while exercising (mid-workout input), Ability to log entire workout once at end instead of during, Minimal manual effort required during exercise sessions

Same idea, different domain
