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?

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.

How do I calculate my maintenance calories?

Multiply your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) — calculated using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — by an activity factor between 1.2 (sedentary) and 1.9 (very active). The result is your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE), which equals your maintenance calories.

Will I gain weight eating at maintenance calories?

No. By definition, eating at your maintenance calories matches what your body burns, so weight stays stable. Minor day-to-day fluctuations from water and food volume are normal, but body fat will not increase.

What macros should I eat at maintenance?

A good starting point for maintenance is 30% protein, 40% carbohydrates, and 30% fat. Higher protein (up to 35%) helps preserve muscle, especially if you exercise regularly.

How do I transition from a calorie deficit to maintenance?

Add calories gradually — around 100 to 150 per week — rather than jumping straight to your full maintenance target. This approach, called reverse dieting, reduces the risk of rapid fat gain while your metabolism readjusts.

How many meals a day should I eat at maintenance?

Meal frequency does not directly affect weight maintenance. Eating 3 to 5 meals distributed throughout the day supports stable blood sugar and consistent energy, but total daily calories and macros matter far more than timing.
