Pros: Calorie calculators provide a convenient tool for individuals to track and manage their daily food intake, aiding in weight management and nutritional awareness.
Cons: However, they may oversimplify complex dietary needs, ignore individual metabolic variations, and potentially contribute to an unhealthy focus on numbers rather than overall well-being.

Launching soon!
I've used LifeSum. To be honest, nothing really irritated me (except the paywall, but I get it :D).
It works really well!
@gabriele_mazzola subscription there costs $10 per month. Did you finally agree to pay? :)
I use MyNetDiary. I chose this because my trainer recommended it and the scanning feature is free.
Can't think of anything that bothers me, honestly. It's a great tool
@entreeden so it was important that the application had certain minimal functionality and did not require a subscription for it?
@visionoiry well the scanning feature is the most important to me and since this app had it for free i used it. if there were no apps that had scanning for free i'd pay for it
@entreeden as far as I understand, you mean a barcode scanner, right?
Calorie calculators are helpful tools for managing your diet and health. They provide a convenient way to track your calorie intake, aiding weight control and nutrition awareness. However, they may not always account for individual variations, potentially leading to inaccurate recommendations. Overreliance on them can also overshadow the importance of overall food quality and balanced eating.
@jane_walker I think not consuming extra calories is still the most important thing. But yes, all the rest is too individual. However controlling calories itself helped me to loose weight from 115 to 80 kilograms (from 253 to 176 pounds).
