Calorie Tracker

What the Calorie Tracker actually does

The free Calorie Tracker is a manual food log — you enter foods yourself, with calories per 100g or per unit. There is no barcode scanner. AI text, voice, and photo input are free shortcuts, but every draft still belongs in the same editable food log. Accuracy comes from checking the numbers once, then reusing that entry on the days the same food appears again.

Two reuse surfaces make repeat logging fast:

• My Foods — your personal library of everything you've logged before, pickable with one tap on future days.
• Templates — group multiple foods into a reusable meal (for example, "Breakfast") that logs all items at once.

Carbs are tracked on every entry. Protein and fat are optional — toggle "Show protein and fat" from your food settings to add full macro totals to every log entry and the daily summary.

The display and what you can switch

The day header shows your daily calorie target, calories eaten, and calories remaining in real time. Two display modes control what leads:

• Eaten (default) — calories consumed so far is the primary number; remaining is shown as a secondary figure.
• Remaining — flips it: budget left leads, consumed is secondary. Better if you prefer to think in terms of what you have left rather than what you have spent.

Compact view collapses each log entry to a tighter single line. Once My Foods is built up and logging is quick, compact mode keeps the list navigable on small screens without scrolling past oversized cards.

When you log multiple units of the same food on one day, the tracker groups them (for example, "6x Egg") so the list stays readable. Open any entry from its menu to edit the calories. Delete soft-removes the entry so an accidental tap is recoverable.

History shows the last 30 days by default; load-more reveals everything beyond that.

What you can turn on or off

The tracker is configurable from your food settings:

• Protein and fat tracking — adds protein (g) and fat (g) to every logged entry, and a daily macro total at the top of the screen.
• Fat Budget — during an active 90-Day Challenge, shows a running fat-balance number on your timeline and stats, on top of your calorie budget.

Liquid tracking

Liquid tracking is a separate optional layer that sits alongside the food log. It is off by default — enable it and the liquid tracker appears on the food screen below your daily calorie summary.

Three drink types are supported, all on by default once liquid tracking is enabled, each with its own serving size:

• Water — default serving: 250 ml. Counts toward your daily goal.
• Coffee — default serving: 300 ml. Tracked, but does not count toward your daily goal.
• Zero-calorie drinks — default serving: 330 ml. Counts toward your daily goal.

All three share one daily goal, 2,100 ml by default. Tap any drink type to log a serving. Tap again to add another. Serving sizes are adjustable per drink type from Liquid Settings; units switch between ml and oz there too.

How to use the tracker

Log as you eat, not at the end of the day — backfilling from memory is where accuracy drops hardest. Build My Foods early, so logging becomes taps rather than typing. Set your daily calorie target in your profile and treat the remaining number as your budget, not a score.
