Since my college baseball career came to an end, I’ve found it difficult to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. That changed when I discovered Cal AI — an AI-powered mobile app that uses photo analysis to estimate your food’s calories, protein, carbs, and fats. After just one month, I’ve already started shedding weight, gaining muscle, and feeling significantly healthier. Tracking my meals and workouts with Cal AI has made a huge impact on my lifestyle, and I highly recommend it to anyone facing similar challenges. Feel free to use my promo code below! NUGSHN
