AI Photo Meal Scanning

The only thing that actually worked was to charge me $44,99 for absolutely nothing… No refund was offered even if it never really worked

Honest answers to questions new users ask

01 How does the AI photo feature actually work?
You open the in-app camera, frame your meal inside the overlay, and tap Evaluate. Calco's AI analyzes the image and returns a nutritional breakdown — calories, protein, fat, carbs, sugars, and sodium — within seconds. No barcode or manual search needed.
02 Can I track my macros, not just calories?
Yes. Every meal evaluation returns protein, total fat, carbohydrates, and sugars alongside the calorie count. The daily diary also shows running macro totals with progress bars so you can see where you stand against your targets at any point in the day.
03 Is there a food diary to review past meals?
Calco includes a 'My Diary' screen with a weekly date strip. You can tap any day to review the meals logged, the daily calorie total, remaining calories, and macro breakdown. A History tab gives you a longer-term view of your intake trends.
04 What nutrients does Calco report per meal?
Each AI evaluation surfaces six values: Calories (kcal), Protein (g), Total Fat (g), Carbohydrates (g), Sugars (g), and Sodium (mg). These are displayed as individual tiles with colored icons on the Nutritional Value screen.
05 Does Calco require a subscription or upfront purchase?
Based on current user feedback, Calco requires payment before you can fully use the app. We recommend reviewing the current pricing on the App Store listing before downloading so you know exactly what to expect.
06 How accurate is the AI calorie estimate from a photo?
AI photo analysis gives a strong estimate for common dishes but is an approximation, not a lab measurement. Accuracy improves when the whole dish is clearly visible and well-lit. For medically supervised diets, treat the results as a helpful guide and verify with your healthcare provider.
07 Is Calco suitable for people with dietary restrictions or medical conditions?
Calco is a general tracking tool, not a medical device. The in-app disclaimer notes that all recommendations are suggestions only and you should consult a healthcare professional before starting any new nutrition plan. The data it provides can complement, but not replace, professional guidance.
08 Can I see trends in my calorie and macro intake over time?
Yes. Calco includes an Analytics tab and a History screen accessible from the bottom navigation bar. These let you review your intake over multiple days so you can identify patterns — like weekend dips in protein — and adjust your approach accordingly.
