Fitness Hack: Calorie Counter

Fitness Hack is a calorie counter built around one idea: logging food should take seconds, and the numbers should be honest.

Answer a few questions once and the app works out a daily calorie target from the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the same formula dietitians use. Then just log what you eat and watch the ring.

EVERY MEAL, ONE CLEAR NUMBER

A single ring shows what's left in your day. Protein, carbs and fat sit underneath. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are always one tap from adding food.

Made a mistake? Tap any entry to fix the amount, move it to another meal, or remove it. Swipe back through past days any time.

FOLLOW THE TREND, NOT THE NOISE

Your weight can swing more than a kilo overnight from water and salt. That's the number one reason people give up — they do everything right and the scale punishes them for it.

Fitness Hack draws a smoothed trend line through your weigh-ins so you see the real direction of travel. Your weekly average and your projected goal date are both read off the trend, not off yesterday's salty dinner.

YOUR COOKING, YOUR NUMBERS

Generic database entries for home-cooked food are guesses. Every family cooks the same dish differently.

Build a recipe from the ingredients that actually went in the pot, enter what the finished dish weighs, and Fitness Hack works out the calories per 100 g and per serving. Save it once, log it in one tap forever after.

Because it divides by the cooked weight, it correctly accounts for the water that curries and stews lose — which is exactly what generic entries get wrong.

FOOD FROM EVERYWHERE

Hundreds of foods are built in and work with no internet: rice, bread, eggs and chicken, but also biryani, daal, roti, sushi, ramen, pho, pad thai, tacos, burritos, lasagne, shakshuka, tagine and jollof rice.

Search understands the words you actually use. Type "anda", "chawal", "keema", "aloo", "arroz" or "huevo" and you'll find the right food.

For packaged food, search the Open Food Facts database or scan the barcode with your camera.
