1. Snap the photo The in-app camera opens with an alignment frame; only the plate is sent.
Food detail: portion selection and meal budget

Home: daily calorie and macro rings
3. It lands in your log Calories and macros go into your daily total; the ring shows what is left.

The AI recognises, it does not guess calories

In apps that rely on AI alone, the photo goes to a model that also guesses the calories. In NutriOS the model only gives the name and the grams of the dish; calories and macros come from a verified food database. For the rare item with no match an estimate is used and labelled "AI estimate" on the card.

It knows Turkish and Mediterranean food

Turkish cuisine is a separate cluster of 39,300 entries in the database. Manti, lahmacun, menemen, iskender and more match by name. Two simit on the plate are not duplicated; the count is multiplied by the grams.

Is the photo calorie counter free?

Photo recognition carries a real AI cost on every use, so it is in Premium, unlocked by a subscription or a one-time scan pack. The rest of the app is free: searching 212,747 foods, barcode scanning across 2.1 million products, water and step tracking.

Where does my photo go?

The photo is processed through our server only for recognition; your name, email and account details are not sent. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
