A visual calorie calculator that uses hand-based portions (palm, fist, thumb) to estimate calories without weighing food. Quick search, portion selection, and daily tracking. Free to use, data stored locally in your browser for privacy.

👋 Hey Product Hunt! I'm Krish, creator of CaloriesSnap Thanks for checking out CaloriesSnap! I'm excited (and a bit nervous) to share this with you today. 🎉 🎯 Why I Built This I struggled with calorie tracking apps. They felt too complicated for casual use - searching through massive databases, weighing everything on a scale, entering precise amounts. I usually gave up after a week or two. I wanted something simpler: estimate portions visually, log it quickly, move on. So I built CaloriesSnap with one goal: make calorie tracking simple enough that I'd actually keep using it. 🍽️ How It Works Hand-based portions: Palm = Protein portion (~3-4 oz) Fist = Carb portion (~1 cup) Thumb = Fat portion (~1 tablespoon) The workflow: Search for a food (e.g., "chicken") Select the portion size you ate Add to your daily log Done It's not perfectly precise, but it's good enough for most people just trying to stay aware of their intake. 📊 What's Actually in CaloriesSnap Currently working: 100+ common foods with calorie data Search with autocomplete 4 portion sizes per food Daily tracking by meal Recent foods for quick re-entry Works on mobile/desktop PWA (installable, works offline) Privacy-focused (data in your browser) Not yet implemented: Large food database (just 100+ foods now) Barcode scanning Custom food entry Recipe builder Data export Social features 🆓 Pricing & Privacy Free to use - No subscriptions, no ads (currently), no account required. Privacy - Your food logs stay in your browser. I don't collect or store them on servers. 🙏 What I Need From You I'm here all day to: Answer your questions honestly Hear what works (or doesn't work) Fix any bugs you find Get your feature requests Learn how to make this better Honest feedback is valuable - even if it's critical. This is a work in progress and I want to make it genuinely useful. ❓ Common Questions I'll Answer Upfront Q: Is this as accurate as weighing food? A: No. Hand portions are estimates. If you need precision, use a food scale. This is for people who prefer convenience over exact numbers. Q: How does this compare to MyFitnessPal? A: MyFitnessPal has 14 million foods and tons of features. CaloriesSnap has 100+ foods and one feature done simply. Different tools for different needs. Q: Will you add more foods? A: Yes! That's the #1 planned improvement. Starting small to validate the concept first. Q: Does it really work offline? A: Yes, after your first visit. It's a PWA with service worker caching. Clear your browser data and you'll need to reload once. Q: How do you make money? A: Currently I don't. This is a side project. May add respectful ads or optional premium features later, but core will stay free. 🎁 Try It Now Website: https://caloriessnap.com Takes: 1-2 minutes to test No signup needed I really appreciate you being here on launch day and I'm excited to learn from this community! 🙏 Drop any questions below - I'll respond to everything today! — Krish Sah Creator of CaloriesSnap krishsah718@gmail.com P.S.
