NutriMind: eat well, without the guesswork
A bilingual wellness app that plans meals, logs food by photo, voice or barcode, and tracks GLP-1 medication.
In one look
The problem
Meal plans, calorie counts, lab results and medication reminders sit in different apps, notes and inboxes. Diets that need every gram logged rarely last.
What we built
One web app that plans the week's meals and a grocery list, logs food by photo, voice or barcode, tracks water, sleep, blood sugar and GLP-1 injections, and has an AI coach for nutrition questions. It works in English and Bulgarian and installs on a phone.
Where it is now
A working web app with a landing page and email and Google sign-in. It is an early build and an experiment: no user numbers are claimed here, and the app says plainly it is not medical advice. The last change was on 10 October 2026.
What this would have cost in 2024
About $22k and 2–3 months
2024 team: 3 people: full-stack developer, frontend developer, designer with QA. Built here by one founder working with AI in 11 days.
| Piece | 2024 hours |
|---|---|
| Core app: sign-in, onboarding, dashboard, meal planner and calendar, recipes, grocery list, health, medication and records tracking, analytics | ~310 |
| AI and data functions: coach chat, meal photo scan, document extraction, health insights, meal-plan generation, research assistant, barcode and food lookup | ~137 |
| English and Bulgarian across the app, installable offline-capable web app | ~73 |
| Landing page, brand refresh, share card, tests, security passes | ~64 |
| Total (PERT) | ~584 |
Method: PERT (O+4M+P)/6 per piece; low = O × $25, likely = PERT × $37.5, high = P × $50 (Accelerance 2024 Eastern-Europe band). These are estimates of what a team would have needed in 2024, not invoices.
How it was built
From first commit to current build in 11 days
- First commit
In the first hour: an AI chat, sign-up and onboarding, an evening check-in, articles with an editor and AI co-writing, health insights, an installable app with barcode scanning, and a Bulgarian language toggle.
33 commits on the first day - The big build day
Bulgarian across the whole app, a GLP-1 injection tracker, recipes and a grocery list, voice and camera meal logging, medication and blood-sugar tracking, streaks and badges, a command palette, and a research assistant that pulls from public medical research sources and saves daily briefs.
621 commits in one day, many of them small repeat saves - A landing page and a new look
A new type and colour palette, a landing page, Google sign-in and a share card, all in one day. The next day the page tags moved to its own domain.
26 commits in one day - Security passes
Two security passes, on 31 August and 10 October, the second with tests added for the input checks.
Who did what
The founder decided
- English and Bulgarian from the first day, across the whole app.
- The landing page carries no testimonials, counters or ratings.
- It states plainly that it is a wellness tool, not medical advice.
AI built and checked
- The app, built in Lovable from the founder's prompts: 701 of its 704 commits come from Lovable's agent.
- Claude Code: the October security pass.
