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.

How many calories do I need to build muscle?

Most people need 300–500 calories above their maintenance level (TDEE) to build muscle efficiently. Eating more than that tends to increase fat gain without adding proportionally more muscle.

How much protein do I need per day to build muscle?

Research supports 1.6–2.2 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day for muscle growth. For a 175 lb (80 kg) person, that means roughly 128–176 g of protein daily.

What is the best macro split for a muscle building meal plan?

A common starting point is 25–30% of calories from protein, 45–50% from carbohydrates, and 20–25% from fat. Carbs fuel your workouts and protein repairs muscle tissue, so neither should be cut too low.

Do I need to eat in a calorie surplus to build muscle?

A modest calorie surplus of 300–500 kcal per day optimizes muscle growth while limiting fat gain. Larger surpluses add more fat but not proportionally more muscle, according to research published in Frontiers in Nutrition.

How many meals a day should I eat to build muscle?

Eating 4–5 meals spaced 3–4 hours apart helps distribute protein evenly across the day. Each meal should contain 25–40 g of protein to maximize muscle protein synthesis.
