One photo, four steps, one better next meal.
MiraVita estimates what is on your plate and shows the carbohydrate and sodium numbers that matter for blood sugar and blood pressure. You stay in control of every item it counts.
- 01
Photograph the plate
Hold the phone above the plate in good light. Barcode, nutrition label and typed descriptions work too.
- 02
Check the items
MiraVita lists each food it recognized with an estimated portion. Rename, resize or remove anything that looks wrong.
- 03
Read the two numbers
Carbs and sodium for the meal appear first, followed by calories, protein, fat and fiber.

Pressure view: a daily sodium budget
Sodium hides in bread, sauces, soups and deli meat. MiraVita adds it up across the day against the 2,300 mg upper limit used in the NHLBI DASH eating plan, and tracks potassium alongside it. If your clinician gave you a lower number, such as 1,500 mg, you can set that instead.
How swap suggestions are made
Each suggestion replaces one item in a meal you actually logged with a similar food that is lower in carbs or sodium. Swaps follow public eating patterns: DASH for sodium and potassium, and the lower-carbohydrate and Mediterranean-style patterns described in the ADA Standards of Care in Diabetes—2026. Suggestions never involve medication, supplements or fasting.
| You logged | Suggested swap | Estimated change |
|---|---|---|
| Canned chicken noodle soup, 1 cup | Low-sodium version of the same soup | about −500 mg sodium |
| White rice, 1 cup | 1/2 cup rice + 1/2 cup cauliflower rice | about −20 g carbs |
| Soy sauce, 1 tbsp | Reduced-sodium soy sauce | about −40% sodium |
| Regular soda, 12 oz | Sparkling water with lemon | about −39 g carbs |
