Which devices are supported?

Caloria is available on iOS (iPhone and iPad). Android support is coming soon. Your data syncs seamlessly across all your Apple devices.

Do I need a food scale to calculate calories accurately?

A digital kitchen scale is the single most accurate tool for calorie tracking. Studies show that estimating portions by eye leads to 30-50% underreporting. A basic kitchen scale costs under $15 and removes the guesswork entirely.

Should I weigh food raw or cooked?

Weighing raw is generally more accurate because cooking changes water content but not calorie density in unpredictable ways. If you weigh cooked food, make sure the database entry you select also specifies cooked values for that preparation method.

How do I track calories for homemade recipes?

Weigh every raw ingredient and log it into a recipe builder in your tracking app. After cooking, weigh the entire finished dish. Then weigh your individual portion and divide by the total weight to find the fraction of total calories in your serving.

How accurate are calorie tracking apps?

Most popular tracking apps pull from verified databases like the USDA FoodData Central, so packaged and whole food entries tend to be quite accurate. User-submitted entries can contain errors, so always cross-check against the nutrition label or an official source.
