Does CalorieScan AI handle Indian, Thai, Ethiopian or other vegetarian-heavy cuisines?

Yes. Our database includes the dish-level entries common to those cuisines (palak paneer, pad see ew, shiro wat) and the natural-language editor lets you adjust regional substitutions in plain English.

Will it remind me about B12?

Yes. The weekly review surfaces B12, iron, omega-3 and calcium specifically when you've set vegetarian or vegan as your diet preference.

For Vegetarians

The photo-first calorie tracker that knows what tofu is.

Vegetarian meals tend to be visually dense — multiple ingredients, mixed plates, lots of grains and beans. That's exactly what the camera-first workflow is good at, and exactly where database-search apps slow down.

The pain

Why standard trackers fall short here.

Database search returns 'tofu (raw)' instead of 'crispy tofu in peanut sauce'.
Mixed plates (grain bowls, dal-and-rice) are a nightmare to log item-by-item.
Easy to over-eat carbs and under-eat protein without per-meal visibility.
Most apps' protein-source list defaults to chicken/beef/eggs.

What we do

How CalorieScan AI is built for this.

Vegetarian diet preference

Set vegetarian (lacto-ovo, pescatarian) and we surface plant-protein sources first and flag B12, iron, omega-3 and calcium risks in the weekly review.

Mixed-plate recognition

Grain bowls, dal-rice, masala-and-naan — the photo workflow handles multi-item plates better than search-based apps.

Plant-protein database

Tofu, tempeh, seitan, TVP, lentils, chickpeas, edamame, hemp, pea protein — natively recognized with accurate per-100g macros.

Recipe NLP

Type "chana masala with basmati and a chapati" and we'll log it without you searching three databases.

When we're not the right fit

Honest alternatives.

If you want maximum micronutrient depth (B12, iron, zinc).
