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.

Can you be in a calorie deficit and still not lose weight?

Yes, temporarily. Water retention, hormonal fluctuations, and increased muscle mass can mask fat loss on the scale for days or even weeks. However, if the scale has not moved for four or more weeks, you are likely no longer in a true deficit due to metabolic adaptation, tracking errors, or NEAT reduction.

How long does it take to start losing weight in a calorie deficit?

Most people see measurable scale changes within one to two weeks of a consistent deficit. However, initial weight loss is often water and glycogen, not fat. True fat loss of one to two pounds per week becomes visible after the first two to three weeks of accurate tracking.

Does your metabolism slow down in a calorie deficit?

Yes. Research shows metabolic adaptation reduces your resting metabolic rate by roughly 50 calories per day beyond what weight loss alone would predict. This means your body burns fewer calories than expected, gradually shrinking your deficit over time.

How do I know if I am actually in a calorie deficit?

Track every calorie for seven days using a food scale — not estimates. Research shows people underreport intake by up to 47 percent. If your weight trend does not drop over two to three weeks of verified tracking, increase your deficit by 100 to 200 calories or add more daily movement.

Should I eat less than 1200 calories to lose weight?

No. Eating below 1,200 calories risks nutrient deficiencies, muscle loss, and severe metabolic adaptation. A moderate deficit of 300 to 500 calories below your TDEE is safer, more sustainable, and actually produces better long-term fat loss results.
