Hava Eat – AI Food Coach

There is no way to scan grocery bar codes for nutrition info to automatically entered. You have to either take a picture of your food or use what is already in the database of foods. Apparently, the decades old technology of barcodes is too much to ask for. There is no way to manually enter nutritional values for foods. If what you’re eating is not already in the database, too bad. Entering quantities only allows for whole numbers , not decimals or fractions. it can be hard to figure out how to convert the quantity of what you’re eating to a value that exists in the database. I love the SPC concept and it does seem like would lead to success but this app is severely lacking to help you get there. I will not be renewing.

The HAVA app brilliantly combines satiety per calorie fundamentals with MACRO and nutritional tracking, making mindful eating both intuitive and effective. The photo tool used for inputting each meal gets better with every release. This is a must-have tool for anyone looking to manage their diet without sacrificing satisfaction.

Hava and the Satiety Per Calorie idea have changed my life. I was obese from childhood and could never find a way to maintain weight-loss. I could lose weight with calorie counting or other diets (I’ve tried them all) but the hunger was intolerable. Hava and SPC solved this problem by letting me iterate on all my favorite foods and meals until they were much more filling with fewer calories. I was able to lose weight without getting too hungry and maintaining the weight-loss is so much easier. I honestly believe every single overweight or obese person should at least try this app. It sounds too good to be true, but if you learn the techniques with protein, fiber, energy density, and hedonic factor, then you can lose weight and keep it off permanently without all the hunger and struggle.

Prior to incorporating Hava's SPC model, I had been eating a very high-protein diet for a couple of years with good results. However, thanks to SPC, I now enjoy more fruits like strawberries and mandarins and low-protein (but high in fiber and low in energy density and hedonics) vegetables like sweet potatoes and carrots. This made my diet more enjoyable and less restrictive, and my results are as good as ever. Furthermore, Hava's food logging system works very well, and the AI-recognition photo feature is a game-changer.

The concept of satiety per calorie goes beyond diet trends and dogma. It’s not about choosing sides—vegan vs. low carb—but about prioritizing foods that truly satisfy your appetite. I’m now the leanest I’ve ever been, and as a former low-carb devotee, I’m amazed that I can eat more carbs than I used to while achieving these results. My Oura Ring metrics confirm that I’m healthier than ever—not just leaner, but also more muscular and balanced overall. After years of focusing on health, I’ve finally reached my ideal body composition in my late 30s, thanks to this system. Huge thanks to the Hava team for creating such a sustainable and effective approach—keep up the great work!

Hava has been a breakthrough for me. I feel confident that I'm on my way to my goal weight. I love that it focuses on the satiety score instead of calorie restriction. I'm much more inclined to manage the food I eat instead of restricting calories. It works for me.

While the satiety scoring is unique the rest is disappointing. The AI hyped for taking pictures of your food and getting the nutrients is rarely accurate, most of the recipes come from Diet Doctor, some don’t include calories or macros. My Fitness Pal premium is cheaper, more accurate, allows use of barcodes, pictures, and you can create and save your own recipes…can’t do that in HAVA.

I’ve eaten keto flex successfully for over 10 years & at age 64 started having trouble maintaining my weight. Hava fixed that & I’m back in control again. Big Food makes it tough to stay on track & Hava wants to help. The satiety AI they use works for me. I just aim for over 100grams of protein and a total day satiety score of over 50. As you try out your food choices in the app you learn as you go. And the app is diet agnostic so you don’t have to follow a specific way of eating. The photo upload makes it easier & they are adding new features to make it even simpler. Eating healthy in this world is not as intuitive as you would think & I’m happy I’ve found Hava. Give it a try and see what you might be able to lose ;)

I finally found a way to eat healthy that is helping me to make better food choices and feel more satisfied in the process. As someone who struggles with an all or nothing mentality this new approach has changed how I view food. Reaching for a higher score and always having a way to do better even on the worst days on my Hava app is giving me the encouragement and confidence to be more consistent and make the steady change I’m looking for when it comes to my relationship with food. Thanks Hava!

I wanted to like this app and I even went ahead and paid for three months from the start. It is not accurate. I take the picture of chicken breast and it says 8 ounces and then I weight the same food on an electronic scale and it’s 5 ounces. That’s way off. Also, sometimes it mistakes the type of meat, the ingredients etc. I feel kind of cheated because the subscription is not cheap and the service is not good. This feels like the app still has a long way to go but they are charging a premium for the subpar service
