BYO-Me: Your AI-Powered Nutritional Assistant
The nutrition platform born out of our research on metabolic modelling and artificial intelligence.
What is Byo-me?
BYO-Me — Be Your Own Me — is an AI nutritional assistant developed by the Metabolic Intelligence Lab at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore together with Chirale S.R.L. It turns the metabolic models we build in the lab into something usable every day.
Its AI agents keep the food diary, analyse what you eat and return personalised dietary guidance — calibrated on your own metabolic profile, your goals and your preferences, not on a population average.
It is built to work alongside clinicians: doctors and nutritionists can follow their patients’ nutrition remotely, on the same data the model uses.

Frequently asked questions
What is Byo-me?
Byo-me — Be Your Own Me — is an AI nutritional assistant developed by the Metabolic Intelligence Lab at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Rome together with Chirale S.R.L. Its AI agents keep the food diary, analyse what the user eats and return personalised dietary guidance.
How is it different from a calorie-counting app?
The guidance is calibrated on a metabolic model rather than on a fixed calorie table: it uses the user own metabolic profile, goals and preferences, and it comes from the same modelling work published by the lab as the Personalized and Generalized Metabolic Avatar.
Who can use it, and is it a medical device?
Byo-me is a nutrition platform born out of research, not a diagnostic or therapeutic medical device. It supports dietary decisions; it does not diagnose or treat disease.
Where does the science behind it come from?
From the lab peer-reviewed work on metabolic modelling and precision nutrition, including the Digital Biohacking study published in Nutrients in 2024. The full publication list is on the Publications page.
Where can I follow or download Byo-me?
On Instagram at @byome.app, and on the app stores: Byo-me is published on Google Play and on the App Store. The web version is at byo-me.it.
