Photo log built for protein-heavy plates
Steak, chicken, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein shakes — all natively recognized with high accuracy.
For Lifters and strength athletes
Hit your protein target without spending 20 minutes a day in a database.
Serious lifters live and die by protein and total intake. The friction of logging is what kills consistency — most lifters quit tracking by week 6 of a cut. CalorieScan AI's photo workflow is built to survive a 16-week cut without burning you out.
The pain
Why standard trackers fall short here.
- Searching the database for 'grilled chicken' returns 47 results, none of them right.
- Manually weighing every meal isn't sustainable past month one.
- Most apps don't surface protein-per-meal — only daily totals.
- Restaurant meals destroy your tracking discipline.
What we do
How CalorieScan AI is built for this.
Per-meal protein highlighting
See per-meal protein in the same place as calories, in the same color (orange).
Apple Health two-way sync
Workouts and active energy flow back into the app to adjust your daily target on training days.
Plain-English correction
Snapshot is wrong about the chicken portion? Type '8 oz chicken, not 4'. Macros recalculate instantly.
When we're not the right fit
Honest alternatives.
MacroFactor
Best-in-class adaptive-TDEE algorithm. Use both — CalorieScan AI for daily logging, MacroFactor for weekly recalibration.
Cronometer
If you want amino-acid-level tracking.
Frequently asked
Can CalorieScan AI replace MacroFactor for a serious cut?
For the daily log, yes — and it's faster. For the adaptive-TDEE recalculation that MacroFactor does at week-end, not yet. Many lifters run both: log in CalorieScan AI, recalibrate in MacroFactor.
How accurate is the photo on protein portions?
Protein is one of the easier categories because the typical lifter plates a recognizable cut (chicken breast, steak, salmon fillet). First-pass accuracy is in the high 80s; one quick correction gets you to ~95%.
