Calorie Tracking Made Simple
VitaCal is an AI calorie tracker for iOS and Android: photograph a meal and it estimates the calories and macros, then deletes the photo as soon as the analysis is done. The free plan includes 5 AI meal analyses per week plus unlimited manual logging, and Pro raises that to 30 per week at $29.99 per year, $2.99 per month or $0.99 per week. The monthly plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does AI photo meal logging work?
Take a photo of your meal and our AI identifies the foods and estimates calories, protein, carbs, and fat. Review the results, adjust if needed, and log with one tap.
How accurate is the AI?
Our AI provides solid estimates for most common meals. Accuracy depends on lighting and food visibility. You can always adjust portions and ingredients before logging.
Is VitaCal really guilt-free?
Yes. VitaCal's approach focuses on supportive, guilt-free tracking. No shaming, no extreme calorie limits. It's built to help you develop a healthy relationship with food.
Are my meal photos stored?
Only while they are being analysed. The photo is uploaded to our servers so the AI can read it, then deleted as soon as the analysis finishes, and a sweep removes any meal photo older than 10 minutes. It is never attached to your saved meal.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. Subscriptions are managed through the App Store or Google Play. Cancel anytime from your device's subscription settings -- no questions asked.
Does VitaCal work without a subscription?
Absolutely. The free plan includes 5 AI analyses per week, unlimited manual logging, calorie/macro tracking, and water tracking. Subscriptions unlock more AI analyses.
Is calorie tracking safe during pregnancy?
Calorie tracking can be useful during pregnancy to ensure you are eating enough for you and your baby. However, pregnancy is not the time to restrict calories. If you use VitaCal during pregnancy, focus on meeting nutritional goals rather than limiting intake. Always follow your doctor or midwife's guidance on nutrition during pregnancy.
How does VitaCal personalise my calorie needs?
Calorie needs vary by body composition, activity level, and life stage. VitaCal is designed with these differences in mind, offering a supportive approach that accounts for your individual nutrition needs.
Can I use VitaCal while breastfeeding?
Yes. Many breastfeeding mothers use calorie tracking to ensure they are eating enough to support milk production. Breastfeeding typically requires an extra 300 to 500 calories per day. VitaCal can help you monitor your intake, but always consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice.
What are macros and why should I track them?
Macros (macronutrients) are protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Tracking macros gives you a fuller picture of your nutrition than calories alone. For example, getting enough protein helps maintain muscle, while balanced carbs and fats support energy and hormonal health. VitaCal tracks all three macros alongside calories.
How do I calculate my TDEE?
TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is the number of calories your body burns in a day, including exercise. It is calculated from your basal metabolic rate (BMR) multiplied by an activity factor. VitaCal helps you set personalised calorie goals based on your age, weight, height, activity level, and goals.
Does VitaCal work on Android?
Yes. VitaCal is available on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). Your data syncs across devices when you sign in with the same account.
