I'm the developer of CAL AI – Calories Tracker, published by my company CYBORGATE LTD ( https://cyborgate.uk ). In this post I explain why I built it, what it does, and what it doesn't do.

Calorie counting works for many people. The hard part is logging. You search a database, choose the right item, guess the portion and repeat that for every meal.

It shows your progress against personalised daily goals, which are based on your body information, activity level and objective. That objective might be losing weight, maintaining, building muscle or just understanding your eating habits.
