Free AI photo calorie counter. No subscription needed to log.

Plates is an iPhone app for logging meals from a photo. The AI estimates the calories, protein, carbs and fat. Edit foods and portions before saving. The app interface is in English.

Photo and voice share the daily allowance. Food search and barcode scanning do not use it.

What's free

Logging, editing and daily totals need no subscription.

How it works

1

Snap

Take a photo of your meal, or search the food database, or scan a barcode.

2

Review & adjust

Check the AI's estimate, fix the food or portion if it looks off, then save. Results are estimates you can edit.

3

See your day

Today's calories, protein, carbs and fat — and the meals you logged — update right away.

How accurate is it?

Photo calorie and nutrient results are AI estimates and can be wrong. Oils, sauces, hidden ingredients and portion sizes can cause errors. Review the estimated foods and portions, correct them, then save the meal.

Plates Plus (optional)

Plates Plus is an optional subscription. You do not need it to log meals, edit them or see daily totals.
