A text-first calorie tracker with an unusually large Russian food database, including chain-restaurant items — pick your product from the list rather than snapping a photo, and get weight tracking with daily stats.
Where several bots in this category lead with a camera, Dietogram_bot leads with search: you type a product name and pick the right match from an extensive Russian-language database, which — per a detailed vc.ru comparison — notably includes items from restaurant chains, a category many rival bots skip entirely.
The interface stays minimalist, driven by buttons at the bottom of the chat rather than a maze of menus, and alongside food logging it tracks body weight and produces daily statistics, giving a fuller picture than calorie counting alone.
Its own bio frames the bot around weight maintenance and loss, suggesting a meal-plan or suggestion layer on top of plain logging, though the exact mechanics of that aren't detailed publicly. The trade-off for the searchable database is speed: without photo recognition, logging a meal takes a few taps through search results rather than one snapshot, so it suits people who don't mind a bit of manual selection in exchange for more precise, chain-restaurant-aware data.
