Balanza vs Chisel

Balanza is a free calorie counter with a photo. Take a picture of your plate, describe it in words or scan a barcode, and the AI works out the calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber and calcium for you. No typing, no searching through databases. A DAILY TARGET THAT ADJUSTS ITSELF Answer a few questions and Balanza works out your daily calorie and protein target. Then it does what no static calculator does: every week it compares what you logged with how your weight actually moved, and corrects the target. Your body is the measurement, not a formula. TRAINING DAYS A second set of daily targets for the days you train. One tap under the date switches the day to a training day, and the ring turns blue. Tap the middle of the ring to switch between calories left and calories eaten. A FOOD DIARY BY MEAL Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, each with its own card. Saved meals for the things you eat again and again, and a personal food list that learns from you: the second time you type a food you already logged, the answer is instant and free. Popular local dishes from your country answer instantly and free too, when you search or describe a meal. WEIGHT AND WAIST TRENDS A weigh-in a day, a smoothed trend that ignores the daily noise, an estimated date for your goal, and a weekly overview in plain sentences: what you ate, how the weight moved, and what seems to have had an effect. INTERMITTENT FASTING WITHOUT A TIMER The fast is measured straight from your diary: it starts after the last food you logged and ends with the next one. Nothing to start, nothing to stop. SET IT UP YOUR WAY Metric or imperial units, your choice of the first day of the week, and the hour a diary day starts, handy if you eat late at night. NO ACCOUNT, NO SIGN-UP Your data is tied to an anonymous id only. A recovery code brings it back on a new phone. Export everything to a file whenever you want, delete everything in one tap. NINE LANGUAGES English, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Greek, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Slovak and Arabic, switchable in Settings. COMPLETELY FREE No subscription and no paid features. One small ad at the bottom of some screens covers part of the running costs. Every number Balanza works out is cited to its source inside the app, with a medical disclaimer. Balanza is not a medical device and does not replace a doctor or a dietitian.

A simple workout log. A clearer picture of your training. Chisel helps you record your sets, see what you lifted last time, and understand which muscles you've trained. Built for people who choose their own workouts and want an easy way to follow their progress. LOG YOUR LIFTS Record weight and reps, bodyweight exercises, and timed movements. Choose pounds or kilograms, adjust your sets, and keep an optional rest timer close at hand. Recent sessions are right there when you need a reference for your next set. SEE YOUR MUSCLE HISTORY Explore a front and back muscle map showing your training history. Primary work gets full color and secondary work a lighter tint, both fading over seven days. After you've logged primary work for more than five distinct muscle groups, Chisel suggests the group whose primary training was longest ago. BUILD YOUR OWN WORKOUT Choose from 150 illustrated exercises or create your own. Plan around muscle groups, arrange your exercises, and set your targets. Repeat a past workout as an editable plan or add an exercise while you train. FOLLOW YOUR STRENGTH PROGRESS Review individual exercise trends and your Strength Index, a summary of changes in logged performance and volume. See your completed sets by muscle group to understand how your training is distributed over time. KEEP A USEFUL WORKOUT JOURNAL Look back through completed sessions, correct a set, and pick up an unfinished workout. Your workout history stays on your device, with no account required. Your training, made visible. Muscle colors summarize primary and secondary training recency, not measured activation or recovery. Chisel records and summarizes your workouts; it does not prescribe a training program.
