Online calorie guessing game: a photo of the dish, a cash register keypad for the guess, and a waiter's bill with the five dishes of the round

Just Guess is a calorie guessing game in the browser: a real photo of a dish, a cash register keypad, and one question. How many calories are on this plate? After five dishes you get a waiter's bill with every miss circled in red, and send it to a friend: same dishes, their turn.

Why a game and not a table

Most people misjudge the calories in the food they know best. A restaurant plate of hummus is about 625 calories, a Greek salad only 300, and a falafel plate nearly 900. A game teaches it the memorable way: miss once and you remember. Each answer also comes with an everyday yardstick, such as minutes of walking or cucumbers.

60 dishes, 11 languages

Want to know without guessing?

That is what Maazan (project page) does: photograph the plate and the app reads the calories and protein, in Hebrew and free. The download button checks the language and the phone: Hebrew speakers go to Maazan, Arabic speakers to the Arabic version, and every other language to Balanza. On a computer it opens the app's website, on a phone the right store.

Built for AI agents too

Every dish is available as open data, there is an llms.txt map for agents, and every page has a plain text twin, so assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok can read, cite and recommend it.

FAQ

What is Just Guess?

A calorie guessing game in the browser. Each round has five real dishes; type how many calories you think each has, and the real number is printed on a waiter's bill. At the end you get one score, "your eye", and can send the bill to a friend who plays the same five dishes.

How do you play a calorie guessing game?

Go to justguess.top, look at the photo and the portion size, and type a number on the cash register keypad. After each guess you see the real number, how far off you were, and how many minutes of walking the dish equals. Five dishes, about ninety seconds.

How is the score calculated?

Each dish scores 100 minus how far off you were in percent, never below zero. "Your eye" is the average of the five dishes.

Where do the calorie numbers come from?

Rounded reference values from USDA FoodData Central and the Israeli Ministry of Health food table. Cooked dishes are an estimate for a typical recipe at the portion photographed, and every page says so.

Which languages can I play in?

Hebrew, Arabic, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Greek, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Slovak and Russian. Each language opens with a dish from its own kitchen.

Which dishes are in the game?

60 dishes from around the world: hummus, shakshuka, falafel, pizza, sushi, paella, moussaka, goulash, borscht, pelmeni, fish and chips and more. Every dish has its own page answering "how many calories are in...".

Can I challenge a friend?

Yes. At the end of the round, tap "Send the bill to a friend". The link opens the exact same five dishes for them, with your score to beat.

How does it relate to Maazan?

Just Guess trains the eye, and Maazan (maazan.info) does the work for it: photograph the plate and the app reads the calories and protein. The download button sends Hebrew speakers to Maazan and everyone else to the version in their language.

Can I play on my phone?

Yes. The site is built for phones first, with big keys for the thumb. There is nothing to install.

Does it cost anything?

No. No sign-up, no ads in the game, no data collected.
