Sugar has a number. Yours is probably 68.
The average American eats about 68 g of added sugar a day — the WHO ideal is 25 g. Sugar Intake Tracker finds your number from a photo of your food: snap it, confirm the AI estimate, and watch your day against the WHO and AHA limits.
The reality check
17 teaspoons.
That’s the added sugar the average American eats every day — about 68 g. The WHO ideal is six.
U.S. dietary intake data (CDC/USDA)
Of those 17 teaspoons, only the first 6 are within the WHO ideal — the other 11 are over it.
In development for iOS
Point. Shoot. Know.
Sugar Lens — our iOS app in development — estimates added sugar from a photo of your food. You confirm every entry, and your log stays yours.
Why this app
Built to take seconds, not willpower.
Tracking only works if it takes seconds. Everything here is built around that.
Log it from a photo
Point the camera at your plate — the app identifies the food and estimates the grams. Manual logging is always there when you already know the number.
A limit that's yours
Start from the WHO's 25 g ideal or the AHA's 25/36 g guidance, or calculate a personal limit from your own calorie needs.
See the week, not just today
A week view shows your pattern at a glance — one over-limit day is noise, five in a row is signal.
Private by architecture
Your log lives on your device, and every AI estimate waits for your confirmation before it's saved. Your food diary is nobody's ad profile.
Guideline-grounded
Every number traces to a named source: WHO free-sugar guidelines, AHA added-sugar limits, NHS advice. No made-up 'detox science'.
How it works
Three steps, thirty seconds a day.
Snap it
Photograph your food — or the label — and the app identifies what's on the plate.
Confirm it
The AI gives an estimate, a range, and its confidence. You make the final call, then it's logged.
Adjust tomorrow
The ring fills toward your daily limit. Spot your biggest source, swap it, watch the week trend down.
Tools

15 calculators, checkers, and planners. No signup, no ads — they run entirely in your browser.
