Snap a photo, skip the search box
Most calorie counter apps ask you to find your food in a database of millions of near-identical entries. Caloris identifies the meal from a photo, so the slowest part of calorie counting disappears.

How it works
Track calories with a photo in three steps
Traditional calorie counting fails because logging one meal takes two minutes of database searching. An AI calorie counter removes that step entirely.
Photograph the meal
Open Caloris and point the camera at your plate. It works on home-cooked food, restaurant dishes, mixed plates and packaged items — or scan the barcode instead.
The AI identifies the food
Food recognition names each item, estimates the portion, and returns calories plus protein, carbohydrates and fat. Every scan shows a confidence score so you know when to double-check.
Adjust and log it
Correct the portion or swap an ingredient if the estimate looks off, then save. Your daily totals, macro split and streak update immediately.
Features
Everything in the Caloris calorie tracker
A complete nutrition tracker, not just a food scanner: macros, meal planning, fasting, hydration, exercise and weight in one app.
AI food scanner
Photograph any dish and the food recognition model names it and estimates the portion. Works on home cooking, restaurant plates and mixed multi-ingredient meals.
Barcode food scanner
Scan packaged foods against the OpenFoodFacts database for exact label nutrition, including per-serving and per-100g values.
Macro tracker
Every entry breaks down into protein, carbohydrates and fat, with daily and weekly charts that show whether your macro split actually matches your targets.
AI meal planner
Generate a personalised meal plan built around your calorie target and preferences — keto, high protein, low carb or balanced.
Custom calorie goals
Set a target for losing, maintaining or gaining weight, and Caloris converts it into daily calorie and macronutrient budgets.
Intermittent fasting timer
Run 16:8, 18:6 or a custom fasting window alongside your food log so eating windows and calorie intake stay in one place.
Water tracker
Log water in your own serving sizes with reminders that nudge you before you fall behind for the day.
Exercise logging
Record walking, running, strength training and custom workouts, and see calories burned alongside calories eaten.
Health Connect sync
Link a fitness band or health app and activity syncs automatically — no duplicate manual entry.
Weight and BMI tracking
Log weight over time, see the trend line rather than daily noise, and get your BMI calculated automatically.
Logging streaks
Consistency beats precision. Streaks keep you logging on the days motivation dips, which is when tracking usually collapses.
Food diary and history
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks stay organised, so you can look back at a week and see what actually drove your intake.
Why choose Caloris
Why an AI calorie tracker beats manual logging
People do not abandon calorie counting because it stops working. They abandon it because logging is tedious. Caloris attacks the tedium, not the arithmetic.
Log a meal in about three seconds
Speed is what decides whether tracking survives past week two. When logging costs seconds rather than minutes, you keep doing it on the busy days that normally break the habit.
Macros, not just calories
Every scan splits into protein, carbohydrates and fat. If you are cutting, bulking or holding a protein floor, you can see the split for each meal and for the day as a whole.
Confidence scores you can sanity-check
AI portion estimates are approximations, and Caloris says so. Each scan carries a confidence score, and anything that looks wrong can be corrected before you save it.
Any cuisine.
Any dish. Anywhere.
Food databases are built around Western packaged goods, which is why logging a home-cooked curry or a street-food plate is so painful. Photo recognition does not care what is on the plate.

Comparison
AI calorie counting vs the alternatives
The trade-off is speed against precision. For most people the faster method wins, because the most accurate log is the one you actually keep.
| Method | How you log | Time per meal | Accuracy | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caloris (AI calorie counter) | Photo, barcode or description | ~3 seconds | Estimate with confidence score | Free to download |
| Database calorie counter app | Manual search and portion entry | 1–2 minutes | Exact for packaged, guesswork for cooked | Free tier plus subscription |
| Pen-and-paper food diary | Written by hand, looked up later | 3–5 minutes | Depends entirely on your lookup | Free |
| No tracking at all | Memory | None | Typically under-reported by 20–50% | Free |
Under-reporting figures for untracked eating come from the well-documented gap between self-reported and measured energy intake in dietary research; the per-method timings reflect typical logging behaviour rather than a controlled study.

If you want to actually understand your calorie intake instead of guessing, this is the app.
Frequently asked questions
What is an AI calorie counter?
An AI calorie counter is a nutrition app that identifies food from a photo, a barcode or a written description and estimates its calories and macronutrients automatically, instead of asking you to search a food database and enter portions by hand. Caloris uses image recognition to name each item on the plate, estimate the portion size, and return calories along with protein, carbohydrates and fat.
How accurate is the Caloris AI calorie counter?
Photo-based estimates are close enough to steer a calorie target but are not laboratory measurements. Independent testing of AI food-recognition apps generally puts them around 80–90% accurate on common, clearly visible foods, with the largest errors on mixed dishes, hidden oils and sauces, and portion depth the camera cannot see. Caloris shows a confidence score on every scan and lets you correct the item or portion before saving, and for packaged food the barcode scanner reads exact label values rather than estimating.
Is Caloris free?
Yes. Caloris is free to download from Google Play and the core features — AI food scanning, calorie and macro logging, the food diary, water tracking and exercise logging — work without paying. Optional in-app purchases unlock premium features.
Does Caloris work without an internet connection?
AI food scanning needs a connection because the image is analysed by a model in the cloud. Reviewing your diary, checking daily totals and logging previously saved foods work with limited connectivity.
Is Caloris available on iPhone?
Caloris is currently an Android app, available on the Google Play Store and supporting Android 8.0 and above. An iOS version is not available yet.
How is an AI calorie counter different from MyFitnessPal?
Database apps like MyFitnessPal are built around searching a very large catalogue of foods, which is precise for packaged and branded items but slow for home cooking. An AI calorie counter inverts that: you photograph the plate and the app proposes the entry. Caloris keeps a barcode scanner for packaged food so you get label-exact numbers where they exist, and uses photo recognition where a database entry would not.
Can Caloris track macros as well as calories?
Yes. Every logged item breaks down into protein, carbohydrates and fat, and the app shows your daily macro split against the targets generated from your goal. You can also set macro targets manually if you follow a specific split such as high protein or keto.
What can Caloris scan?
Home-cooked meals, restaurant plates, mixed multi-ingredient dishes and street food via photo recognition, and packaged products via the barcode scanner using the OpenFoodFacts database. You can also describe a meal in text if photographing it is not practical.
