Common Questions
How accurate is the calorie scanning?
The app analyzes your meal photo and estimates nutrition with high accuracy for common foods. For packaged foods, we always recommend checking the nutrition label. You can also manually adjust any values if needed — just tap Edit on any scanned meal.
Is Cal AI: Calorie Scanner really free?
Yes! You get 3 free scans to try the app with full access to all features — personalized goals, dashboard, weight tracking, streaks, Apple Health sync, and more. No credit card or signup required. Premium unlocks unlimited scans and removes ads.
How does the TDEE calculator work?
Enter your age, height, weight, activity level, and goal (lose weight, maintain, or build muscle). Cal AI: Calorie Scanner uses the science-backed Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure and sets personalized daily calorie and macro targets.
