CalStory turns calorie tracking into a conversation. Type "two eggs, toast, and a protein shake" and AI logs the calories and macros in seconds — no barcode scanning, no gram-by-gram searches. Built for lifters and runners, it pairs real-time macro rings with a 16-week consistency heatmap and a TDEE calculator that refines itself as you log weight. Workout logging covers lifting, cardio, and general activity. No spreadsheets. Free to start.
how does the AI actually know my portion sizes if i just type a rough description like "a bowl of oatmeal" - does it guess or will it keep asking me for more detail?
@abdulsametljl2 Good question and honestly, this is the trickiest part of natural language logging, so I'll be straight with you: it estimates, it doesn't guess randomly. When you say "a bowl of oatmeal," CalStory uses typical serving sizes (a standard bowl ≈ 1 cup dry oats) as its baseline.
If you want more precision, you can just add detail in the same sentence "a bowl of oatmeal with a banana and honey, about 1.5 cups" and it'll adjust accordingly. It won't interrupt you with follow-up questions mid-log (that defeats the point of fast logging), but you can always edit the estimate after the fact if it's off.
Over time I am working on letting it learn your typical portions so "a bowl of oatmeal" gets more accurate to your bowl, specifically. Not there yet, but it's on the roadmap.
Love the natural language logging idea, would actually make me stick with tracking. One thing I'd love is a quick "leftovers" or recent meals shortcut so I can re-log a dinner I make often without retyping it, maybe just a tap to clone yesterday's meal with minor edits.
@adnancwzc Really glad the core idea is landing for you and honestly, this feedback is spot on. If I build it, would a simple tap-to-reclone-with-edit (so you can tweak portion or a swapped ingredient before confirming) match what you're picturing, or were you thinking more like a saved "favorites" shelf?
