Know what you ate.
Stop guessing.

Photograph your meal. Kaloro reads the calories and macros — and then lets you fix the two things every other AI calorie scanner gets wrong: the cooking oil and the portion.

Why AI calorie counters come in low

A photo shows the food. It does not show the oil in the pan or the butter stirred in at the end, and it cannot tell a small plate from a large one. That is why a 900-calorie meal so often gets logged as 400.

Kaloro states what it assumed — "1 plate, about 400 g, normal oil" — and gives you two taps to correct it: cooking (light, normal, generous oil) and portion (small, normal, large). The number updates as you tap.

An estimate whose assumptions are visible can be fixed. A bare number can only be wrong.

What else is in it

Home cooking, actually recognised

Most scanners are trained on restaurant plates and packaged food. Kaloro knows home cooking — including Turkish dishes, which generic models routinely misread and undercount. Mercimek is logged as mercimek, not as "red lentil soup".

Built with some restraint

Kaloro will not set a target below 1,200 kcal for women or 1,500 for men, will not plan faster than 0.75 kg a week, and will not accept a goal weight under a healthy BMI. Those are limits, not suggestions. Kaloro is for adults only.

Your photos stay yours

Meal photos are analysed and discarded. They are never stored on our servers. The photo lives on your phone and nowhere else.

Pricing

Free to download with one free scan. Kaloro Pro is $6.99 a week (3-day free trial) or $29.99 a year in the United States. Prices vary by country and are shown in the app before you buy. Cancel any time from your Apple ID settings.

Questions

How accurate is calorie counting from a photo?

A photo alone is usually 20–50% low on home-cooked food, because the model cannot see the cooking oil, the butter stirred in at the end, or how large the plate is. Kaloro shows the assumptions it made — portion size and amount of oil — and lets you correct both with one tap, which is what closes most of that gap.

Does Kaloro count the cooking oil?

Yes. Every result carries a cooking chip (light, normal or generous oil) and a portion chip (small, normal or large). Tapping a chip updates the calories and macros immediately.

Does it recognise Turkish food?

Yes. Mercimek çorbası, kuru fasulye, menemen, mantı, lahmacun, pide and karnıyarık are recognised by name, not as generic "lentil soup" or "beans". The app interface is available in Turkish and English.

Is Kaloro free?

Kaloro is free to download and includes one free scan. Unlimited scanning, corrections, history and the weekly report require Kaloro Pro: $6.99 per week (with a 3-day free trial) or $29.99 per year in the United States. Prices vary by country and are shown in the app before purchase.

Where do my meal photos go?

A photo is sent for analysis and discarded in the same request. It is never written to a database, a file store or a log, and it is not used for training. Meal history stays on your phone.

Does Kaloro have barcode scanning or a food database?

No. Kaloro is built around the photo and manual entry. If you eat mostly packaged food with barcodes, MyFitnessPal or Yazio will suit you better.

Who is Kaloro for?

Adults (18+) who cook at home and want a number they can trust rather than a number that looks precise. Kaloro will not set a target below 1,200 kcal for women or 1,500 kcal for men, will not plan faster than 0.75 kg a week, and will not accept a goal weight below a healthy BMI.

Which iPhones does it run on?

Any iPhone running iOS 17 or later. There is no Android version and no iPad-specific layout.
