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 the minimum calorie intake per day?

Most health guidelines recommend a minimum of 1,200 calories per day for women and 1,500 calories per day for men. Eating below these thresholds risks nutrient deficiencies, muscle loss, and metabolic slowdown. Individual minimums vary based on height, weight, age, and activity level.

What happens if you eat below 1,200 calories?

Eating below 1,200 calories per day can trigger metabolic adaptation, muscle breakdown, nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, hair loss, and hormonal disruption. Your body shifts into a conservation mode that slows fat loss and makes weight maintenance harder long term.

Is 1,000 calories a day safe for weight loss?

Eating only 1,000 calories per day is considered a very low calorie diet (VLCD) and is not safe without medical supervision. VLCDs can cause gallstones, electrolyte imbalances, and severe muscle loss. They should only be used short-term under clinical guidance.

How do I know if I'm eating too few calories?

Signs you are eating too few calories include persistent fatigue, hair thinning, feeling cold all the time, irritability, brain fog, loss of menstrual cycle in women, and a stalled scale despite dieting. These are signals your body is conserving energy rather than burning fat efficiently.

What is a safe calorie deficit for weight loss?

A safe calorie deficit is 300 to 500 calories below your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). This produces 0.5 to 1 pound of fat loss per week without triggering severe metabolic adaptation or nutrient deficiencies.
