How does the AI recognize food?

Our AI uses advanced computer vision trained on millions of food images. It can identify individual ingredients, portion sizes, and even complex dishes from restaurants worldwide.

Absolutely. Your food photos are processed securely and never shared. We use end-to-end encryption and comply with GDPR and CCPA regulations.

How accurate is the calorie tracking?

Our AI achieves 98% accuracy on standard meals, verified by certified nutritionists. For complex or unusual dishes, accuracy is still above 90%.

Can I use it for specific diets?

Yes! Caloria supports keto, vegan, paleo, Mediterranean, and many other dietary patterns. You can set custom macro targets to match any diet plan.

What's included in Premium?

Premium gives you unlimited meal scans, detailed macro tracking, personalized insights, weekly nutrition reports, priority AI processing, and data export capabilities.

Which devices are supported?

Caloria is available on iOS (iPhone and iPad). Android support is coming soon. Your data syncs seamlessly across all your Apple devices.

What is a calorie cycling meal plan?

A calorie cycling meal plan alternates between higher-calorie days and lower-calorie days across the week. The total weekly calories still create a deficit — so you lose weight — but the variation makes the diet easier to sustain and may help preserve metabolic rate.

How many calories should I eat on high days vs. low days?

A common approach is to eat at or slightly above your maintenance calories on high days (roughly +10%), and around 20% below maintenance on low days. If your TDEE is 2,000 kcal, that is roughly 2,200 kcal on high days and 1,600 kcal on low days.

Is calorie cycling the same as carb cycling?

No — they are related but different. Calorie cycling varies total daily calorie intake. Carb cycling varies carbohydrate intake specifically while keeping total calories more stable. You can combine both, but they are separate strategies.

Does calorie cycling prevent metabolic slowdown?

Research suggests it may help. A 2014 clinical trial found that a calorie-shifting approach maintained resting metabolic rate better than continuous calorie restriction over six weeks, while producing similar fat loss outcomes.

Who should avoid calorie cycling?

People with a history of disordered eating, those managing diabetes without medical supervision, and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid calorie cycling or consult a healthcare professional first. The variable structure can trigger binge-restrict patterns in susceptible individuals.
