"1 bowl of rice" gets interpreted as 1 cup of Sake?
It picks up on specific types of rice - e.g. "white rice", "jasmine rice", and "brown rice" all work.

Specifying raw or cooked rice gets you the right answer. Given that it gives you the info to correct instantly, this isn't too bad. NLP is hard.
We had a similar idea, but for automatic handling of whole recipes that you can adjust to your dietary needs (http://www.tweakeats.com). I have to say I prefer the feedback for individual ingredients that spelt has though, given the ambiguity of a lot of ingredients (raw vs cooked, chopped ingredients measured before or after chopping, red peppers, etc.). Seeing quickly how is was interpreted is helpful.

#25Good job!
What about showing sugar / carbs ratio and saturated fat / fat ratio?
Minor annoyance: the floating "Terms - Contact" overlaps with content on small screens (eg. my Galaxy S4 mini).

This is really needed! I'm on a renal diet and I have to watch every number like protein, sodium, phosphorus, potassium, fat, etc. I struggle day by day cobbling things in google docs online because the tools online don't suffice.
I originally wrote cookingspace because I need to track how much vitamin K is in my diet.
I've been also exploring to see if I can teach myself web development skills to create my own app based on my needs. I see some good ideas I can learn from yours...

#27Does this use the USDA Nutrition Database? It is a useful source of nutrient data that I have used for many years on my http://cookingspace.com site (parden the plug). I really like the user interface on spe.lt - nicely done!

#28So close to being amazing! Please make the length of the bar relative to the calories, right now they're all the same width. And maybe allow comparison between x and y. Say, 2 eggs vs 1 chicken breast.

#29Worked for a few items I tested, but failed for "soylent 1.5". That gave me "1.5 pouches Soylent", but what I wanted was "1 pouch Soylent v1.5". But otherwise, I enjoy the simplicity and interface. I currently use My Fitness Pal on my phone to track calories during bulking and cutting. For the most part, the app is great, especially its database, but it has several quirks that make using it more difficult than it has…

I think they have a premium subscription for 9$/month which does not have any advertisements
