No Smartphone, No Problem: Tracking Diet via Telegram on Any Device

Ever find yourself away from your phone—maybe you're at work on a company PC or using a trusty older handset—and wish you could still log your lunch? With NutriGram on Telegram, you don’t need the latest smartphone to keep your nutrition on track. Whether you're on desktop, the web, or an older phone, logging meals is as easy as sending a message.

Why You Might Skip the Smartphone App

If you’ve ever felt locked out by calorie‑counting apps that only support mobile, you’re not alone:

• Workplace Restrictions: Many companies lock down app stores on corporate devices.
• Older Devices: Not everyone upgrades every year—older phones often can’t run big apps smoothly.
• Cross‑Device Convenience: Sometimes you just want to log from your laptop while cooking.

We get it—food tracking shouldn’t hinge on having the latest hardware.

Setting Up NutriGram on Any Telegram Client

1. Install Telegram: Desktop apps are available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, plus a web client (web.telegram.org).
2. Start the Bot: Search for @Self_nutri_bot in Telegram and hit Start.
3. Log Meals: Send a quick text like Lunch: 2 slices of pizza, salad, 1L water or use our slash commands (e.g. /log breakfast eggs and toast).
4. Get Summaries: Daily in the evening around 10 PM local time, you will get your summary.

No smartphone, no worries—just Telegram.

Logging Meals from Your Desktop at Work

• Quick Messages: Copy‑paste your usual entries or hit the bot’s buttons.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Cmd/Ctrl+F (search) + typing makes logging faster than tapping on tiny screens.
• Privacy: Your logs stay between you and the bot—no extra desktop software needed.

Remember: Logging should fit your workflow, not the other way around.

Statistics That Show the Need for Platform Flexibility

• Global smartphone penetration stands at just 60.4 percent, leaving nearly 40 percent of the world without a smartphone (Prioridata, 2024).
• Advanced economies report a median of 85 percent smartphone ownership, but 11 percent rely on non‑smartphone mobiles and 3 percent have no mobile phone at all (Pew Research Center, 2022).
• Desktop web traffic still represents around 38 percent of global web use—perfect for logging from your PC (DataReportal, April 2025).
• Diet & nutrition apps see 69 percent of users abandon them within 90 days, with retention rates dropping to 30 percent after the first month, often because apps feel too clunky (Market.us Media, 2025).

These numbers highlight why a lightweight, multi‑device solution matters.

Tips for Seamless Desktop Diet Logging

• Customize Quick Replies: Save your most common meals as canned messages in Telegram.
• Use Templates: Set up a daily logging template—just fill in the blanks.
• Schedule Reminders: On desktop Telegram you can pin a reminder message or use /remind commands.

Pro Tip: Drag the bot chat to the top of your sidebar for instant access during lunch breaks.

Take Control of Your Nutrition—Anywhere

Whether you’re on a 10‑year‑old phone or typing away on your work computer, NutriGram’s Telegram bot delivers effortless meal tracking. No more barriers, no more excuses—just log what you eat, whenever and wherever you want.
