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 resting metabolic rate?

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the number of calories your body burns at complete rest to maintain basic functions — breathing, circulation, temperature regulation, and cellular repair. It accounts for 60–75% of your total daily energy expenditure.

What is the difference between RMR and BMR?

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is measured under strictly controlled clinical conditions after a 12-hour fast in a darkened, temperature-controlled room. RMR is measured at rest without those strict requirements, making it 10–20% higher than BMR. For practical nutrition planning, the two terms are effectively interchangeable.

What is a normal resting metabolic rate?

A typical adult RMR is 1,200–1,500 calories per day for women and 1,500–1,800 calories per day for men. Values vary significantly with body size, age, and muscle mass — a heavier, more muscular person will have a substantially higher RMR than a lighter, more sedentary individual.

How accurate are online RMR calculators?

Standard prediction equations are accurate within roughly ±10–15% for most adults. A 2014 meta-analysis of 197 studies found common formulas overestimate RMR by approximately 10% for men and 15% for women. For greater precision, indirect calorimetry at a sports performance lab is the gold standard.

How can I increase my resting metabolic rate?

The most effective strategies are building lean muscle mass through resistance training, maintaining adequate protein intake (1.6–2.2 g per kg of body weight), protecting sleep quality (7–9 hours), avoiding prolonged aggressive calorie restriction, and increasing daily movement through NEAT activities.
