How It Works
From setup to tracking in three simple steps.
1
Set Your Goals
Enter your profile — age, height, weight, activity level. We calculate your optimal TDEE and macro targets.
2
Snap & Log
Take a photo of your food on a kitchen scale. AI reads the weight and identifies the food. Or use barcode, voice, or manual entry.
3
Track Progress
Watch your dashboard fill up throughout the day. Track weight trends, hit your macros, and reach your goals.
All calculations are based on peer-reviewed research including Mifflin-St Jeor, Katch-McArdle, and IOM dietary reference intakes.
Why AI Food Coach?
Built to solve the real problems with calorie tracking.
-
Smart TDEE — Not a Static Number
Your calorie target isn’t a fixed number from a questionnaire. AI Food Coach builds your TDEE from real data: basal metabolic rate from Apple Watch, active calories from your workouts and steps, and the thermic effect of every meal you eat. No Watch? The app uses Mifflin-St Jeor or Katch-McArdle formulas based on your profile. Your calorie budget updates throughout the day as you move and eat.
-
Thermic Effect of Food — Calories Others Miss
Your body burns energy digesting food — protein costs 25%, carbs 7.5%, fat 2.5%. Most trackers ignore this entirely. AI Food Coach calculates TEF from your actual meals and adds it to your daily calorie budget. A high-protein day means you can eat more. This is the “hidden deficit” that explains why your real weight loss often exceeds simple calorie math.
-
Your Personal Food Database
Every meal you log — whether by AI photo, barcode scan, or voice on Apple Watch — is saved to your history. Next time, re-log it with one tap. Over time, you build a personal food database tailored to what you actually eat: your brands, your portions, your recipes. The more you use it, the faster logging gets.
-
AI Coach That Knows Your Context
Chat with an AI nutrition coach that has full context: your profile, macro targets, today’s intake, 14-day meal history, weight trend, body fat percentage, and Apple Watch activity data. It doesn’t give generic advice — it knows you had 40g protein today and your target is 120g, so it suggests high-protein meals for dinner. Anonymous, no account needed.
-
5 Ways to Log, One Dashboard
Photo on a kitchen scale (AI reads the weight and identifies the food), barcode scanner, voice on Apple Watch, quick add from your food history, or manual entry. Pick whatever fits the moment — all methods feed into one dashboard with real-time calorie and macro tracking.
Your Privacy Matters
Built with privacy-first principles. Your data stays yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best TDEE calculator for weight loss?
TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) isn’t a fixed number — it changes throughout the day based on your basal metabolism, physical activity, and the thermic effect of food. A static online calculator gives you a rough estimate, but real TDEE shifts with every workout, walk, and meal. That’s why a dynamic approach works better: AI Food Coach combines your personal profile with real-time data from Apple Watch or Health Connect — steps, active calories, workouts, and resting energy — to show your actual TDEE as it happens. Pair that with fast AI food logging from a photo or voice, and you get a clear picture of calories in vs. calories out, updated throughout the day.
How do I know how many calories I should eat per day?
Start with your TDEE — the total calories your body burns in a day, including basal metabolism, activity, and digestion. Then subtract a moderate deficit (typically 300–500 kcal) for steady weight loss, or add a surplus for muscle gain. The key is accuracy on both sides: knowing what you burn and what you eat. AI Food Coach calculates your TDEE using proven metabolic formulas adjusted for your real activity data, then tracks every meal via AI photo recognition, barcode scanner, or voice on Apple Watch. Your dashboard shows consumed vs. remaining calories in real time — so you always know exactly where you stand.
Do I need a kitchen scale to use the app?
No! The kitchen scale feature gives you the most precise results, but you can also log food manually, use the barcode scanner, search the food database, or describe your meal by voice on Apple Watch. The scale is optional but recommended for best accuracy.
Is my food data sent to the cloud?
Your meal logs, goals, and settings are stored locally on your device. Food photos are sent to our server only for AI recognition and are not stored afterward. We use anonymous device tokens — no email or personal info required.
What happens when I reach the free AI scan limit?
You get 3 free AI uses per day, shared across photo scans, Watch voice dictation, and AI Coach Chat. After that, you can still log food manually, use barcode scanning, or search the database — all unlimited and free. Premium removes all AI limits.
Is AI Food Coach a free calorie tracker?
Yes — calorie tracking, barcode scanner, food database, dashboard, TDEE calculator, progress charts, Health sync, and shopping lists are all free with no limits. AI-powered features like photo recognition, Watch voice logging, and AI Coach include 3 free uses per day. Premium removes all AI limits.
Does the app work with Apple Watch?
Yes! The companion Watch app lets you log food by voice, view your daily macros with activity-style rings, browse meal history, and edit meals — all from your wrist. It works independently when your iPhone is nearby.
Can I cancel my Premium subscription?
Absolutely. Cancel anytime in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. You keep Premium access until the end of your current billing period. No questions asked.
