Question 1

How does an AI calorie counter work?

Accepted Answer

You photograph your meal and computer vision identifies the foods, estimates portion sizes, and calculates calories, protein, carbs and fat. In Calfit a scan takes about five seconds, shows a confidence score, and lets you correct anything with a tap before it lands in your food diary.

Question 2

How accurate is calorie counting from a photo?

Accepted Answer

Good AI food scanners land close enough for weight loss on most everyday meals, and consistency matters far more than perfection. Calfit shows how confident each estimate is and makes corrections one tap, so low-confidence scans never slip through silently.

Question 3

How many calories should I eat a day to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your age, height, weight and activity — most people lose steadily at 300–500 calories below their maintenance level. Calfit calculates a personal daily target and then adjusts it automatically as your weight changes.

Question 4

What is a calorie deficit?

Accepted Answer

A calorie deficit means eating fewer calories than your body burns, which is the mechanism behind all weight loss. A moderate deficit of 300–500 calories per day is sustainable for most people; Calfit keeps you in one by showing calories left in real time.

Question 5

How do I start tracking macros?

Accepted Answer

Set targets for protein, carbs and fat, then log what you eat against them — protein is the one most beginners under-eat. Calfit sets macro targets from your goal and fills the rings automatically every time you snap a meal.

Question 6

Does 16:8 intermittent fasting help with weight loss?

Accepted Answer

16:8 fasting limits eating to an 8-hour window, which helps many people eat less without counting every bite. It works best combined with calorie awareness — Calfit has a built-in fasting timer for 16:8, 18:6, 24h or custom windows alongside its calorie counter.

Question 7

Why does my weight go up and down every day?

Accepted Answer

Daily weight swings of 1–2 kg are mostly water, sodium, carbs and digestion — not fat. What matters is the multi-week trend, which is why Calfit charts your trend line instead of panicking you with every morning's number.

Question 8

How much water should I drink a day?

Accepted Answer

A practical starting point is 6–8 glasses (about 2 litres), more when you exercise or it's hot. Calfit tracks your glasses with one tap on the home screen and folds hydration into your daily health score.

Question 9

Is Calfit free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — manual logging, calorie targets, weight trends, water and fasting tracking are free. Calfit+ adds unlimited AI photo scans, the AI coach and extra Pip perks, with monthly, yearly or one-time lifetime pricing.

Question 10

Who is Pip?

Accepted Answer

Pip is the hedgehog who lives in Calfit. Pip notices when you log a meal, keeps your streak alive and celebrates your progress — warmth that turns out to be the difference between tracking on day 40 and quitting on day 4.
