CaloBurner - Lose weight with AI meal scanning, macros, and step tracking

by•
Built after losing 12kg in 2.5 months while traveling Southeast Asia. CaloBurner calculates your personal calorie deficit using TDEE science, then makes hitting it effortless. Snap a photo of any meal and get calories and macros in 3 seconds. The built-in step counter ties your activity directly to your daily targets. No 1,200-calorie starvation plans. Just a small, consistent deficit backed by the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, with safety guardrails that prevent unhealthy targets.

I built CaloBurner because I was overweight and traveling through Southeast Asia. Existing calorie trackers were either too slow (searching databases for "pad thai with extra egg") or too simplistic (ignoring activity entirely). So I built what I needed: snap a photo, get your calories and macros in 3 seconds, and have a built-in step counter that actually factors into your daily targets. The approach is simple. Your body burns a calculable number of calories per day (TDEE). Eat slightly less than that, consistently, and you lose fat. CaloBurner does the math using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, sets safe targets, and tracks everything in one place. I went from 28% to 15% body fat in 2.5 months using this exact system. No gym membership, no keto, no intermittent fasting. Just a calorie deficit and daily walks. Key things that make CaloBurner different: - AI photo scanning that works on restaurant meals, street food, and home cooking - Built-in step counter (most calorie apps ignore activity completely) - Macro tracking with protein targets set at 2g/kg to preserve muscle during a deficit - Safety guardrails that prevent targets below healthy minimums Free tier includes manual logging, step tracking, and personalized targets. Premium ($49.99/yr or 9.99$/mo) adds AI scanning, coaching, and progress graphs with a 7-day free trial. Would love to hear your feedback. Happy to answer any questions about the tech, the weight loss science, or the journey.
