THE DETAILS
Questions, answered plainly.
How accurate is AI calorie counting?
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.
What food database does Kalo use?
Kalo uses the USDA FoodData Central database, the same source registered dietitians rely on. When you speak, 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.
How does AI food photo tracking work?
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.
Can AI accurately track cooking oil and fats?
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.
Is Kalo free to use?
Kalo offers a free trial that includes every premium feature: a personalized calorie plan, AI photo scanning, voice logging, barcode scanning, text-based logging, macro tracking, meal ideas, and progress tracking. You can try everything with no commitment and cancel anytime during your trial with no charge.
How do I track calories by photographing my food?
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.
What platforms is Kalo available on?
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.
How is Kalo different from other calorie counter apps?
Kalo connects a personalized calorie plan with flexible meal logging and meal ideas based on what your day still needs. You can take a photo, speak, type, scan a barcode, or enter exact amounts, then review the result and see how the meal changes your daily targets.
How do Kalo's personalized meal ideas work?
Kalo generates meal ideas based on your goals, dietary preferences, and what you have left today. The suggestions give you a practical place to start when you want to stay on plan but are not sure what to eat next.
