Snap a photo of your plate and get an estimate of calories, protein, carbs and fat in seconds — no food-database searching, no weighing. Calorie Scan recognises what's on the plate, estimates each item's weight, scales it to the portion size you pick, and adds it all up, item by item and for the whole meal.

How it works

  1. Take one photo of the meal from above, with the whole plate in frame.
  2. Pick roughly how big the portion looks: small, regular or large.
  3. See the total calories, the macro split, and every food it detected — each with its own estimate — plus a couple of practical observations.

What you get

  • The whole plate and each item. Total calories next to the list of detected foods with per-item grams and kcal, so you can see what is driving the number.
  • Honest rounding, not fake precision. Numbers come rounded, with a confidence level. When a dish is mixed — stews, saucy bowls, dressed salads, filled items — it gets flagged, because those estimates genuinely vary.
  • A clear answer, not a guess. If the photo is blurry, dark or not a meal at all, you get a short reason and what to fix instead of made-up numbers.

Tips for a good scan

Shoot from above with the whole plate in frame and nothing covering the food. Good light helps a lot. One plate per photo. Hidden fillings (burritos, sandwiches) can only be estimated from what's visible — the confidence level will tell you when to treat the number as a rough guide.

Good to know

This is a quick estimate for everyday tracking, not medical or dietary advice, and it won't tell you how much you should eat. If you're managing a health condition, talk to a professional.

Questions

What kind of photo works best?

One plate per photo, shot from above in good light, with the whole plate in frame and nothing covering the food. Close-ups of a single item work too. Blurry or dark photos come back with a reason instead of a number — retake rather than trust a bad scan.

How accurate is it?

Photo-based estimates of common meals typically land within 15–25% of the true value, and every result shows a confidence level. Numbers are rounded on purpose, and mixed dishes like stews, dressed salads and filled items get flagged because their contents are partly invisible. Treat the result as a guide for your day, not a measurement.

Can it tell what's inside a sandwich or a burrito?

Only partly. It estimates from what's visible, so hidden fillings and sauces lower the accuracy — that's what the confidence level and the mixed flag are for.

What happens if the photo isn't food?

You get a short explanation instead of invented numbers. Photos of nutrition labels are also refused — the label table is not a meal. If a run fails, you are not charged.

How much does it cost?

You can try it once without an account. After that each scan costs 5 credits; new accounts get free credits to start.

Do you store my photos?

Photos are used only to produce your estimate. Inputs and results stay in your history for 7 days so you can look back at them, then they are deleted. You can delete them sooner from your account.
