Features & Capabilities

On-campus calorie tracking made easy

VTCals is the only calorie and nutrition tracker built specifically for Virginia Tech students. Stop manually entering dining hall food into generic apps — VTCals knows every item on the VT dining menu so you can log your meals in seconds.

TRACK WHAT YOU ACTUALLY EAT • Instantly log meals from all VT dining halls, including West End, D2, Turner Place, and more • Full nutritional data for every dining hall item: calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and more • Scan barcodes to log packaged foods from anywhere • Search a massive food database for meals eaten off-campus

PERSONALIZED GOALS THAT ACTUALLY FIT YOU • Set your calorie and macro goals based on your body stats, activity level, and personal targets • Choose from Balanced, High-Protein, Low-Carb, or custom macro splits • Goals are calculated using the industry-standard Mifflin-St Jeor formula used by top nutrition apps

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Daily nutrition dashboard showing calories and macros at a glance • Log your weight over time and visualize your progress • Upload progress photos to stay motivated • Weekly and monthly summaries to keep you on track

BUILT FOR HOKIES, BY A HOKIE VTCals was built by a Virginia Tech student who was frustrated that no calorie app had VT dining data. Now you never have to manually look up the nutrition facts for a Fighting Gobbler burger or Tazon Bowl again.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, build muscle, or just eat more mindfully, VTCals gives you the tools to do it — with data that actually reflects your life on campus.

User Reviews

The app is generally extremely useful, but there are a few missing/inaccurate values(futurebites BYO bread options showing 0 calories even though it’s listed as 170 on the website. There are a few more but those seem to be an issue with the vt nutrition site.) Additionally, not being able to manually input macros and calories and having to rely on the AI/general food database is pretty confusing, as the database is useless if you’re cooking, and manually adding macros seems like a pretty easy feature to add(especially since it’s already included in the bar code scanning). Also, for the 2-3 days where barcode scanning was free, it was pretty unreliable from my experience so most of the time I had to change the macros anyway. With these 2 fixes the app would essentially be perfect and would literally be an auto-download for anybody with a meal plan.

app has helped me easily input food from dining halls and also seems to have imported a food database from online. only problem is a few options aren’t updated in teal time such as tazon and choolah doesn’t exist in the app. also, there should be an option to subtract or show activity calories so we can get a real grasp on the exact numbers of net calories in a day. Otherwise, 5 stars!
