Gourmang works out what your body actually needs, then grades what is on the plate for quality and processing, so two meals with the same calorie count stop looking like the same choice.
Your targets follow the goal and the pace you choose — lose, hold or gain. The rest of the list is what the app does once you are in it.
Counting calories is the easy part. Knowing whether the number is right for you, and whether the food behind it was any good, is the rest.
Your targets
Your height, weight, age and how much you actually move, run through the equation dietitians use, then adjusted for the pace you picked. Safety floors apply after that, so an ambitious pace never takes you below what you need.
Food quality
Foods carry a quality grade, and a processing level wherever one can be established, and both add up across the meal and the day — it is what tells two identical calorie counts apart. And when it has not seen enough of your day to grade it fairly, it says so instead of guessing.
Logging
Type it, photograph it, or scan the barcode. A photo of a salad comes back as six named ingredients with weights and a grade — and anything Gourmang estimated is labelled an estimate, editable before you save.
Height, weight, where you want to get to, and how much you actually move. Ninety seconds, and you see the plan before you make an account.
Describe the meal or photograph it — Gourmang works out the foods, portions and nutrition, and asks when it is unsure.
Entries carry a grade and, where it is known, a processing level, and they roll up to a day. You learn what to change, not just what to cut.
Nothing here is our own invention. The numbers behind your targets and your grades come from work that was peer-reviewed, published, and named in the app itself.
The resting-energy equation the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends for healthy adults.
The front-of-pack grade used across Europe, rolled up from a single food to your whole day.
The food-processing classification behind the research on ultra-processed diets.
The French food composition table: every listed food analysed in a laboratory, not read off a label.
Placeholder review — replace with a real one before launch. Two sentences works best: what changed, and what it felt like.
Placeholder review — replace with a real one before launch. Quotes that name a specific behaviour beat generic praise.
Placeholder review — replace with a real one before launch. A sceptic who was won over is the most persuasive shape.
Yes, and it is one of the most generous free plans you will find: no ads, no limits on what you log, and AI logging every day. Premium unlocks all of Gourmang, with no daily limits.
Mifflin-St Jeor for your basal rate, an activity multiplier for maintenance, then your chosen pace priced in calories — with safety floors applied afterwards, so an aggressive rate on a small frame lands on the floor rather than below it. The exact multipliers are published inside the app, on its own “how targets work” screen.
Good on recognisable meals, and honest when it is not. Anything estimated is labelled as an estimate rather than presented as a measurement, and you can correct any portion before it is saved.
A Nutri-Score grade paired with a NOVA processing level, aggregated across an entry, a meal and a whole day. It is what lets Gourmang tell two identical calorie counts apart.
