## What is AI Calorie Coach?

AI Calorie Coach helps you log meals faster with your iPhone camera, AI food analysis, and simple manual food tracking.

  Take a photo of your meal or choose one from your library, review estimated calories and nutrition for each food item, adjust anything that looks
  off, and save it to your history. You can also log food manually from a built-in database of 9,600+ foods.

  HOW IT WORKS

  1. Take a food photo, choose one from your library, or log manually
  2. AI estimates food items, portions, calories, macros, and confidence levels
  3. Review the breakdown, adjust calories or meal type, and save
  4. Track daily progress, trends, and meal history from your dashboard

  AI-POWERED FOOD ANALYSIS
  • Identify multiple foods from one photo
  • Estimate calories, macros, portions, and calorie ranges
  • See confidence levels and AI assumptions for transparency
  • Edit the final calorie estimate before saving
  • Works with the built-in AI service, with an optional custom OpenAI API key

  MANUAL FOOD LOGGING
  • Search 9,600+ foods from the built-in database
  • Use AI-powered online search when a food is not available locally
  • Add multiple foods to a meal basket
  • Adjust quantities, grams, servings, and meal type before saving
  • Quickly reuse recent and frequently logged foods

  DASHBOARD & HISTORY
  • Daily calorie progress and remaining calories
  • Nutrition breakdowns for meals and individual foods
  • Calorie trends by week, month, or all time
  • Meal distribution charts and daily average metrics
  • Searchable meal history with saved food photos

  SYNC & ACCOUNT
  • Sign in with Apple or Google
  • Back up and sync meals, saved foods, settings, and meal photos across devices
  • Restore your data when switching phones
  • Edit your account name, sign out, or delete your account from Settings

  PUBLIC WALL
  • Optionally share analyzed meals to the public Wall
  • Browse meals shared by other users
  • Like posts, report content, block users, and delete your own posts

  PRIVACY & CONTROL
  • The app asks before sending your first food photo or AI food search text for AI processing
  • Your custom OpenAI API key is stored securely in iOS Keychain and is not uploaded to our server
  • Saved meal photos may be uploaded so they can sync across your signed-in devices
  • Wall posts are public only when you choose to post them
  • You can delete your account and server-stored app data from Settings

  Nutrition estimates are informational and should be reviewed before saving.
