Step one
Find your starting number.
Built on validated science
Mifflin-St Jeor — the most validated BMR formula in clinical use. Estimates land within 10–15% of reality, and the app adjusts as you log.
- 01Age, weight, height and sex set your baseline burn (BMR).
- 02Activity level scales that into daily calories (TDEE).
- 03Your goal nudges the target up or down from there.
A starting point, not medical advice — adjust as you learn what works for your body.

What separates people who hit their number on purpose from people who try and quit. Nothing here is clever — it's just repeatable.

Reviews
Real people. Real results.
Very seamless to use, friendly user and it only takes few seconds to load. No lag, app is way better than those in the market right now. Actual weight and est weight of the AI is pretty accurate.
I really like this app because it’s very easy to navigate and user-friendly. Logging food is much easier, especially with the photo feature where the AI scans the food and automatically calculates the calories.
Works exactly how I expected and is good with weight loss goals

FAQ
Fair questions.
Our AI recognizes foods and estimates their nutrition with high accuracy, and it keeps getting better. If a result ever looks off, just re-analyze the photo or adjust the portions in a tap. For packaged foods, our barcode scanner pulls exact nutrition data from verified databases.
Yes! The free tier includes 3 meal scans per day plus 3 AI Coach messages per day. For unlimited scans and all features, CalorieCue Premium is $3.99/month (or $19.99/year) with a 7-day free trial.
CalorieCue works with virtually any food — home-cooked meals, restaurant dishes, mixed plates, single items, and any cuisine from sushi to sinigang. You can also scan barcodes on packaged foods or log meals manually with natural language.
CalorieCue is photo-first — just snap a picture instead of searching through endless food databases. Our AI Coach (Cue) provides personalized nutrition advice on demand, and the interface is designed for speed: log a meal in 3 seconds, not 30.
Yes, when done consistently. Meta-analyses show calorie tracking improves weight-loss outcomes, primarily by increasing awareness of what and how much you eat. The exact method matters less than consistency over time.
No — but more days tracked usually means better results. Most people see good outcomes tracking 5–6 days per week. Weekly averages matter more than perfect daily logging.
Eating out is easy. Photo-scan your plate, or scan your receipt to capture everything you ordered in one go. For chains, the barcode scanner pulls verified data. Estimates can be slightly less precise for unique restaurant dishes — that's normal for any tracker, and you can always re-analyze a result.
