Recommended by Dr A. Cocaul, a leading MD and nutritionist, KcalMe is the first 3D calorimeter to transform the way you keep track of your daily calorie intake for french food and beverages:
- UNIQUE: Open Food Facts Barcode Nutrient Base support enhanced with 3D portion definition (more than 350.000 products)
- UNIQUE: Augmented reality support: take a snapshot of your food or drink, and set its amount in 3D with your finger (KcalMe Premium)
- Snapshot support for entries and historic (KcalMe Premium)
- Its extensive and unique database in 3D covers more than 14,000 of the most widely consumed food and beverage items in North America.
- Its simple and user friendly search feature enables you to visualize in 3D the most widely consumed foods and beverages
- Nutrient data tracked has been voluntarily limited to calorie intake to keep KcalMe easy to use unlike other more complicated applications. No need to keep track of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins or other nutrient data which only specialists understand and make it harder to determine what to eat.
- Its positive straightforward approach avoids counterproductive guilt ridden rhetoric often found in other applications.
- Seeing your 3D avatar change as you eat and drink during the day makes it easy to understand the calorie impact of what you eat.

This fun and user-friendly tool will help you to evaluate the global calorie intake associated to your meals and therefore assess their compatibility with your chosen weight target, without making an obsession of it or generating unnecessary guilt. To help you to manage your meals, your 3D avatar is updated after each food or beverage selection so that you keep track at all times of you calorie intake versus your assigned objectives.

Latest reviews of KcalMe app for iPhone and iPad

Excellent intuitive app
Cool tool for tracking calories with awesome 3d images and cute animations :)
Utterly disappointed!
Really unhappy with this app and would like my money back. Tried it after installation and very disappointed due to its limited content of components offered and features. Needs a rich database and an accurate algorithm or input value for overall calculation. Dont waste your energy on this app.
Lose Festure
Version 9 update cripples the edit feature and pay again for premium version to access the edit feature. Paid for iPad app and then again for iPhone app. The sort has never been corrected. Only for iOS 8 and above.
No good
