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.

Is tracking calories necessary to lose weight?

Not strictly—but it helps significantly. A 2022 randomized trial found that consistent calorie trackers lost 5.7% of body weight in six months, versus 4% for participants using looser monitoring. Research shows that frequency of tracking, more than precision, is the strongest predictor of success.

How accurate does calorie tracking need to be?

Within 10–20% is accurate enough for most goals. Consistent, imperfect tracking outperforms occasional precise tracking. Aiming for a calorie range rather than an exact number reduces psychological pressure and makes the habit more sustainable.

What is the easiest way to track calories?

AI photo tracking is the lowest-effort method with reasonable accuracy. For those who prefer no technology, the hand portion method requires no equipment and works anywhere, including restaurants. The easiest method is the one you will actually do consistently—start there and optimize later.

Can I track calories without weighing food?

Yes. The hand portion method uses your palm for protein, a cupped hand for starchy carbs, two fists for vegetables, and your thumb for fats. It is less precise than weighing but accurate enough for most goals and much easier to sustain long-term.

How long should I track calories?

Most nutrition experts recommend 4–12 weeks of consistent tracking to build reliable portion intuition. After that, many people maintain their habits with once- or twice-weekly spot-checks rather than daily logging.
