Frequently Asked Questions
Kalo's AI estimates are typically within 10-20% of actual values for most meals. While no AI tracker is perfectly precise, this level of consistency is enough to track trends and make real progress. For times when you need exact measurements, like meal prepping with a food scale, you can always switch to manual entry.
Kalo uses the USDA FoodData Central database, the same source registered dietitians rely on. When you type a food or scan a barcode, we query this database for accurate nutrition information. If an exact match isn't found, our AI estimates calories and macros based on typical portion sizes and similar foods.
When you snap a photo of your meal, Kalo's AI identifies the individual foods on your plate and estimates portion sizes. It then looks up nutritional information from the USDA database and calculates total calories, protein, carbs, and fat. The whole process takes about 10 seconds, compared to several minutes of manual database searching with traditional calorie counters.
Cooking oils are one of the hardest things for any tracking method to estimate. Even registered dietitians struggle with it. Our AI does its best to account for visible oils and typical cooking methods, but for the most accurate tracking of oils and fats, we recommend manual entry. A tablespoon of olive oil adds about 120 calories, so it's worth getting right.
Kalo offers a free trial that includes every premium feature: AI photo scanning, barcode scanning, text-based logging, macro tracking, and personalized calorie goals. You can try everything with no commitment and cancel anytime during your trial with no charge.
Open Kalo, tap the camera icon, and take a photo of your meal. Our AI analyzes the image to identify foods and estimate portion sizes, then calculates calories and macros using the USDA nutrition database. You can review and adjust the estimates before saving. It takes about 10 seconds total.
Kalo is available on both iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android devices. You can download it from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Your data syncs across devices so you can log meals from any phone or tablet.
Traditional calorie counters require you to search through massive food databases, select exact brands, and manually enter portion sizes, which takes 2-3 minutes per meal. Kalo lets you snap a photo, type a quick description like 'grilled chicken with rice and broccoli,' or scan a barcode to log meals in under 30 seconds. Our AI handles the estimation so you spend less time logging and more time living.
