Say it. Snap it. Tally it. Describe your meal in plain English, or just take a picture, and Calorie Tally works out the calories. No database digging, no gram weighing, and absolutely no guilt trips.
Runs on your own free AI key (we show you how, it takes two minutes). Your food diary never leaves your phone.
Most people quit food tracking in the first week because logging is a chore. Calorie Tally attacks the chore.
"Turkey sandwich with mayo and a small apple." Type it or tap the mic and talk. The AI splits it into foods, portions, and calories.
Photo of your plate, a barcode, a nutrition label, even a restaurant menu. Four camera modes, all one tap away.
Foods you eat often become one-tap buttons. After two weeks, most of your logging takes two seconds flat.
"Did you eat 1 meat stick or 2?" The app talks portions the way people do. Grams are there if you want them.
Every food shows where its numbers came from. Generic foods are checked against the US government's lab-measured USDA database. Packaged foods use the printed label. Chain restaurant items use the chain's own published menu data, and you can even pull the current numbers live from the web. Anything estimated says "estimated", right on it.
Lab-measured government data for everyday foods, not crowd-sourced guesses that disagree with each other.
Type "a whopper" and get Burger King's real published numbers as a tappable suggestion.
Point the camera at a Nutrition Facts panel and the printed numbers are read exactly. No guessing.
Went over budget? The ring turns a calm orange, never an angry red, and the app says what a good friend would: "One day over changes nothing. Tomorrow is a fresh page." There are no streaks to break, because broken streaks are how diets end. Weekly averages are what matter, and the app says so.
Lose at your own pace, maintain, or gain. A standard medical formula sets your budget, then real weigh-ins fine-tune it.
The variety engine suggests new recipes that stay close to what you already love. Fresh, not foreign.
Optional mode that puts carbs up front and flags foods as steady, moderate, or fast carbs, in plain words.
Connects to your phone's step count. Big walking days can earn a few calories back, honestly calculated.
