Stop obsessing over every calorie and shift your focus to your overall health goals.
Do you only track calories?
No! We include all macronutrients and over 200 micronutrients. SnapCalorie’s AI nutritionist can help you accomplish a diverse set of dietary goals.
How do I know it’s accurate?
For the chat feature our AI nutritionist pulls from millions of sources to get you the most widely accepted answers possible. If you have any questions on the accuracy of the data, our app allows you to submit the question to a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist for verification.
For the photo calorie counter our team has published in a top peer reviewed academic conference where we demonstrated our approach is over twice the accuracy of a professional nutritionist. Read more in the link to our paper at the bottom [Nutrition5k].
How does it work?
Take a photo of your food and it’s saved in seconds. After a delay our team will verify the estimates and release the results to your daily total.
Our photo calorie counter tries to identify the contents of the food visually, like a nutritionist would. We send these predictions to an actual person for verification to ensure the most accurate estimate of calories, fat, carbs, and protein. Portion sizes are measured using modern depth sensors on your phone, making our results even more accurate than a person alone could do.
What about oils?
Oils are challenging for anyone calorie counting, and our photo calorie counter will not be perfect at this either. That said, in our academic paper we showed people are off by over 50% from portion size estimation alone. To get the most accurate results, one should focus more on accurate portion sizes than on getting the exact ingredients right.
What if I use a scale to measure portion size?
Our photo calorie counter will not be more accurate, but it will take a fraction of the time to input. You can also use the photo calorie counter to suggest ingredients, and you can correct the portion sizes later with a scale measurement. To streamline the photo calorie counting further, use the “favorites” feature in the app to easily track your frequent foods and beverages.
Who is this NOT for?
This app is NOT for anyone with an active eating disorder, an eating disorder history, or an eating disorder family history. This app is also NOT for anyone with body dysmorphia or any predispositions to body dysmorphia and/or body dysmorphic disorders.
If you are struggling with any of these disorders, we encourage you to reach out to The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA).
What else are we doing to help?
We know calorie tracking is an incredibly sensitive and risky area. We care deeply about our users’ mental and emotional health. We work with Registered Dietitians to ensure that we aren’t contributing to the existing problem. We have strategically de-emphasized calories over macros to promote awareness of nourishing one’s body. We are further experimenting with ways to allow a nutritionist to release a user's daily totals when they feel it is most appropriate to discourage people from obsessive calorie counting.
