The tool
Log a meal with twenty ingredients in two seconds
Photograph the plate. You don't name anything, weigh anything or search a database. That's the entire interaction, and it's why members are still logging in month six.
Every way you might want to log something
Most tracking apps ask you to become a data entry clerk. Thirty taps before breakfast, a barcode database to argue with, and a fortnight later you have quietly stopped. This removes that job rather than tidying it up.
Photograph the plate
Twenty ingredients or one. You don't name them, weigh them, or look anything up. Two seconds, and the whole meal is logged with its macros.
Or just say what you ate
Type it the way you would say it out loud. 200g Skyr, 35g whey, 100ml semi skimmed milk. Back comes 55g of protein and 360 calories. Save it once and it's one tap every morning after that.
Photograph the scales if you want it exact
Cooking at home and want it to the gram? Put the plate on the scales and include the readout. Same two seconds, more precision.
Or the back of the packet
A nutrition label is just another photograph. Useful for the things no database has ever heard of.
See where the day stands
Calories and protein against your targets, updated as you go. The number that matters is what's left, and it's always one message away.
Read the trend, not the morning
Weight charted with seven, thirty and ninety day changes, so a bad Monday stops being evidence of anything.
Get a session built around today
Tell it what equipment and how long you've. It writes the workout from your history, so it progresses rather than repeating.
Check in once a week
Energy, stress, sleep and how sustainable the week felt, scored and logged. Two minutes on a Sunday that tell you more than the scale does.
And see the whole picture
Workouts, food logs, steps, weight and waist in one summary. Four apps that never spoke to each other, replaced by one message.
Why this matters more than the diet does
Almost nobody fails at fat loss because the plan was wrong.
They fail about a fortnight in, when logging every meal stops being worth the effort. The plan was fine. The admin killed it.
Take the admin out and the habit survives long enough to do something. That's the whole of it.
I've hated using MyFitnessPal for years, so CalorieBot and only taking pictures of food is a game changer.
I use CalorieBot every day. It takes a lot of the guesswork out of calculating my macros. I love being able to take a picture of something and get the analysis back, and saving the foods I eat regularly so I can enter them easily.
I use CalorieBot every day. I find it most useful when eating out, as it does a good job of working out the calories in my meal for me. Easy to stay on top of meals and protein targets with it.
