AI Calories – Photo & Text Calorie Tracker Track calories from photos or text. No spreadsheets. No food databases. No excuses. AI Calories lets you log meals by taking a photo or simply describing what you ate in plain English. The AI estimates calories and macros instantly — then lets you correct and re-analyze anything that looks off. Built for consistency, not perfection. HOW IT WORKS - Take a photo or type a short description of your meal - The AI analyzes the food and portion size - Get instant calories, protein, carbs, and fat - Edit anything → re-analyze with AI - Track daily totals and streaks automatically NEW: MANUAL TEXT LOGGING + AI RE-ANALYSIS Not every meal is photo-ready. Now you can: - Describe food in text (e.g. “chipotle bowl with chicken, rice, beans, cheese”) - Get AI-estimated calories & macros from text alone - Edit any logged meal (photo or text) - Re-run AI analysis after edits for better accuracy You stay in control. The AI does the math. WHY AI CALORIES IS DIFFERENT Most calorie trackers fail because they demand obsessive precision. AI Calories is built for real life: - Eating out - Mixed plates - Home-cooked meals - Missed photos - Rough estimates that still drive results - If you can describe it or photograph it, you can track it. FEATURES - Photo-based calorie estimation - Text-based meal logging with AI analysis - Edit meals and re-analyze with AI - AI-powered calorie + macro estimates - Daily calorie totals & streak tracking - Fast, minimal, distraction-free design - No account required to start WHO THIS IS FOR - People trying to lose fat - People trying to gain muscle - Anyone tired of pretending manual tracking is sustainable - Anyone who wants awareness without obsession IMPORTANT NOTE All calorie and macro values are estimates. AI Calories is a decision-making tool — not medical advice. SUBSCRIPTION AI Calories offers optional premium features via subscription. Pricing and terms are shown clearly before purchase.
