Count calories from a photo.
Snap your plate, and an AI estimates the calories and macros. You confirm or edit, then it’s logged — a few seconds instead of a chore. Part of the Coach tier, on top of a tracker that’s free forever.
A calorie counter you point at your food
Zabeau’s photo calorie counter turns a picture of your plate into calories and macros. Snap the meal, an AI estimates the protein, carbs, fat, and calories, you confirm or edit the numbers, and it’s logged. Photo logging is part of the Coach tier ($12.99/mo) — it sits on top of a tracker that’s free forever.
Logging is the habit that decides whether a recomposition actually works — and the friction of typing every meal is where most people quit. Photographing a plate removes that friction. You point your camera, and a full macro breakdown comes back in seconds, ready to accept as-is or adjust before it lands in your day.
The estimate is exactly that — an estimate. Zabeau shows a confidence level with every result and keeps every number editable, so you stay in control of what gets logged. Recognizable, plated food reads well; hidden oils, dense sauces, and mixed dishes are harder to judge from a picture, and that’s where a quick tap to adjust the portion pays off.
Snap, estimate, confirm
Three steps, and only the last one needs your judgement. Nothing is logged until you say so.
Snap
Photograph your plate — one dish, or the whole spread. No weighing, no searching.
Estimate
Claude vision, by Anthropic reads the food and returns calories and macros, with a confidence level attached.
Confirm & log
Adjust anything that looks off, then log it. Every number stays editable — you decide what lands in your day.
The honest answer
Photo → macros is a paid convenience — but you never need it to log food.
Photo logging is part of Coach ($12.99/mo) and Pro. The tracker underneath is free forever, and it logs food without a single photo: barcode scanning, USDA food search, a built-in food library, saved meals, and custom foods are all free. When you want the camera to do the typing for you, that’s where Coach comes in — compare the tiers on pricing, or see everything the app does on features.
