Count calories from a photo of your plate
Most food diaries die at the same step: you finish eating, open the app, and start hunting for «grilled chicken breast, 140 g» in a database. Fat Track skips that entirely — send a photo, and the AI reads the plate for you.
No scales
Portion size is estimated from the photo. Correct it in plain words if it looks off.
No database search
You never pick items from a list — the model names the dish and its parts itself.
Seconds, not minutes
A typical plate comes back with calories and macros in a few seconds.
Text and voice too
No photo? Describe the meal in a sentence or send a voice note instead.
How the recognition actually works
You send a picture to the bot or add it in the app. The model identifies the dish and its components, estimates the portion in grams and returns calories, protein, fat, carbs and fibre — broken down item by item, not as a single opaque number.
Every result comes with a confidence score. When the photo is ambiguous — a stew in a deep bowl, something covered in sauce — the estimate is marked as less certain, and a short caption from you («about 300 g, cooked in oil») makes it noticeably more accurate.
When a photo is not enough
- Hidden ingredients: oil, sugar in a sauce, cream in a soup. Mention them in the caption and the numbers change accordingly.
- Big portions in deep dishes — depth is the hardest thing to judge from a flat image.
- Packaged food: for a labelled product, typing the name and weight is faster and more precise than a photo.
Why estimates are enough for weight change
Weight moves on weekly averages, not on single meals. A diary that is 90% accurate and actually kept beats a perfect one abandoned on day four — and photo entry is what keeps people logging past the first week.
If a specific meal matters — you are prepping for something, or a dish repeats daily — correct it once by text and the corrected version is what lands in your day.
Questions
Do I need to weigh food to count calories from a photo?
No. The portion is estimated from the image. If it is clearly off, reply in plain words — «about 250 g, no oil» — and the entry is recalculated.
How accurate is photo calorie counting?
For simple, visible plates it is close enough for weight management; sauces, oil and deep bowls are the usual sources of error. Each result carries a confidence score, and a one-line caption improves it a lot.
Can I count calories without installing an app?
Yes. The bot works inside Telegram, and the web app opens in any browser — you can add it to your home screen if you want it to behave like an app.
What happens to my food photos?
A photo is sent to the AI model for analysis and kept with your entry so you can review the day later. You can delete an entry, and deleting your account removes the diary.
