AI photo scan · every cuisine

Built for how the world actually eats.

Point your camera at a thali, a bowl of ramen, tacos, or a roast dinner. Calorite recognizes the dish, the cuisine it's from, and logs the calories and macros — no forcing every meal into a Western-default guess.

Cuisine-aware, not translated

Four cuisine buckets. Each with its own rules.

Most food-scanning AI assumes a Western plate — one oil, one portion logic — and quietly applies it to everything. Calorite classifies the meal first, then estimates with that cuisine's real cooking conventions.

Clinical methodology

Your calorie target isn't a guess.

Calorite calculates your daily target with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the clinical standard for resting energy expenditure — then adjusts for your activity level and your goal.

Mifflin MD, St Jeor ST, Hill LA, Scott BJ, Daugherty SA, Koh YO. Am J Clin Nutr. 1990;51(2):241–247. PMID 2305711 · DOI 10.1093/ajcn/51.2.241

BMR = 10×weight + 6.25×height − 5×age ± sex offset
TDEE = BMR × activity multiplier
Target = TDEE × (1 ± goal adjustment)
