Count calories from a photo

What happens when you snap a meal

Take a photo or pick one from your library. Canoz re-encodes it on your iPhone, which removes location and camera metadata, and sends it to an AI model. The model recognizes each dish on the plate, estimates the portion and returns calories, protein, carbs and fats for every item.

The result lists each item with its portion and values. Adjust any portion with a tap before it goes into your log.

Getting a better estimate

Photograph the whole plate from above, in good light. A photo cannot show what is hidden, like oil in a sauce or sugar in a drink, so correct the result by typing what the photo missed, the same way you log a meal by text.

During setup, tell Canoz which cuisines you eat, from Turkish and Mediterranean to Latin, Asian and more. It uses them to recognize your dishes better.

Estimates, not exact values

Every value from a photo is an estimate. Portion size, hidden ingredients, lighting and unusual dishes can all move the number. For packaged food, scan the barcode or the nutrition label instead, so the values come from the product data rather than from a photo.

What happens to the photo

Canoz does not store your meal photos. The photo is sent for analysis and discarded, and only the result is saved to your log. The details are in what happens to your meal photos and in the privacy policy.
