Workout App Ladder Launches Nutrition-Tracking Experience

As AI fitness tools become more advanced, apps that understand different types of input — like photos, voice, and text — are transforming how people monitor their health. From startups like Alma and Cal AI to established names like LifeSum, Healthify, and MyFitnessPal, nutrition-tracking technology is quickly becoming an essential part of fitness ecosystems.
A Unified Fitness and Nutrition Platform
Ladder’s new nutrition-tracking experience integrates directly into the existing workout app, allowing users to log both workouts and meals in one place. The feature, called Ladder Nutrition, automatically calculates macronutrients such as protein, carbs, and fats. Users can easily adjust portion sizes or manually edit data for more precision.
This all-in-one design sets Ladder apart. Instead of switching between multiple apps, users can now see how their nutrition impacts performance, recovery, and progress — combining input (meals and calories) with output (workouts and results).
AI-Powered Food Recognition
Ladder uses multiple AI models for food recognition, ingredient detection, and macro calculation. Because most AI food models rely on U.S.-centric data, they can struggle with international cuisines. To fix that, Ladder partnered with a global nutrition data provider, ensuring accurate recognition of foods from around the world.
If one AI model fails to identify a dish, another steps in — improving reliability and accuracy for users everywhere.
Gamified Nutrition and Progress Tracking
The new Ladder nutrition-tracking experience also introduces a “protein mode” that helps users monitor their daily intake. To keep motivation high, Ladder added streaks, badges, and progress reminders — turning meal tracking into a fun, gamified experience.
According to the company, user surveys showed that members wanted an integrated nutrition tracker rather than juggling multiple apps. This feedback led Ladder to focus on building and launching the feature this year.
Why It Matters
By merging strength training and nutrition tracking, Ladder aims to simplify fitness management for its growing user base. The update makes it easier for users to stay consistent with both workouts and meals — key components of long-term health and performance.
With its latest update, the workout app Ladder launches a nutrition-tracking experience that’s more intuitive, data-driven, and personal than ever — setting a new benchmark for fitness apps in 2025.
