Photo → calories, honestly

The calorie tracker that admits it's estimating.

Snap a photo. Fooca reads the ingredients against the USDA database, shows a range instead of one false-precise number — and finds the calories you can't see, like cooking oil.

Fooca's review screen: a photographed triple cheeseburger analyzed to 1,703 kcal — likely between 1,533 and 1,874 — with every detected ingredient, its grams and its calories listed for confirmation

How it works

Three steps. One honest number.

01

Snap your meal

One photo. Fooca detects every ingredient and estimates portions — in about five seconds.

02

Confirm in one tap

Every ingredient carries its USDA reference. Not sure between beef and lentil? Fooca offers the look-alikes it considered and swaps in one tap. It even asks about the oil it can't see.

03

Watch the trend

Daily and weekly totals with protein, carbs and fat against your goals. Measured, never judged — no red days, no guilt streaks.

Voice → meal

No photo? Just say it.

Tap the mic and describe your meal. The ingredients materialize while you're still talking — say an amount ("300 grams of rice") and it's logged exactly as said; skip it and Fooca estimates, marked with a ~ so you always know which numbers are yours. Done runs the same honest analysis a photo gets.

Typing into a food database is the part of tracking everyone quits. Talking isn't.

FAQ

Fair questions.

How accurate is it, really?

It's an estimate, which is why every meal shows a range rather than one false-precise number. When the match is unclear Fooca says so instead of guessing, and you can correct grams and ingredients inline — every correction makes the log yours.

Is it free?

Completely free right now, with ten photo scans a day. No paywall, no trial clock.

What happens to my data?

Your meals, their photos and your profile are stored in this browser, on this device. There is no account and no server database. The one thing that leaves your phone is the photo you capture, sent to the AI model that reads it — and it isn't kept afterwards.

Where do the numbers come from?

Every ingredient is matched against USDA FoodData Central, and the row it matched is printed under the ingredient — so you can check our work.

Does it work with local food?

Set your country in Profile and the AI reads local dishes — a milanesa is a milanesa, not "breaded mystery cutlet".

Why is there a "cooking oil" question?

Because oil doesn't show up in a photo and it's often the biggest hidden cost in a meal — about 120 kcal per tablespoon. We'd rather ask than pretend.
