MyPlate app · AI calorie counter · Free
The free AI calorie counter that knows what's on your plate
Photograph a meal or scan a barcode and MyPlate logs the calories, protein, carbs and fat for you. It sets a daily target from your goal weight and goal date, then keeps score. No database searching, no food scale.
How photo calorie counting works
Three steps, about a minute the first time and a few seconds after that.
Point your camera at the food
Open MyPlate and snap the meal, scan a barcode, scan a nutrition label, or pick a photo from your gallery. Home-cooked, takeout and restaurant plates all work.
Read the numbers the AI returns
The food analyzer identifies what is on the plate and returns calories, protein, carbs, fats and fiber in seconds, then writes them into your food diary.
Track the day against your target
MyPlate works out your TDEE and daily calorie target from your goal and goal date, then shows calories left and protein, carb and fat rings for the rest of the day.

Barcode & label scanner
Scan a packaged food in the aisle to see calories and nutrition before it goes in the trolley. No manual lookup.
Macro & protein tracking
Set goals for keto, high-protein, low-carb or balanced eating. MyPlate counts grams of protein, carbs, fat and fiber per meal.
Calorie deficit & goal date
The app works out your TDEE and deficit, projects a goal date, and adjusts as you log meals, workouts and steps.
AI meal swaps
Steak at 720 calories becomes grilled chicken at 320, with the reason why. Swaps keep the meal, drop the calories.
Trends & weight tracking
Weekly analytics show where the calories actually came from, so you judge progress on the trend instead of one weigh-in.

Questions about MyPlate
More answers in the full FAQ.
Do I need to weigh my food or search a database to log a meal?
No. Point the camera at the plate and the AI food analyzer identifies the meal and fills in calories and macros for you. For packaged food, the barcode and label scanners read the exact numbers off the pack. How AI photo calorie counting works →
Is MyPlate on Android as well as iPhone?
Yes. MyPlate is on the App Store and on Google Play. Free to download, try every feature free. 3-day free trial. About the MyPlate app →
Which calculator should I start with?
Start with the calorie plan. It works out maintenance and a daily target for losing, holding, or gaining. Use the macro page afterwards to split that target into protein, carbs and fat. Open the calorie plan →
Does MyPlate count the calories I burn from exercise?
Yes. You can log workouts, steps and other activity in the app, and the day view shows calories burned next to calories eaten. To sanity-check a single session, the calories burned calculator on this site uses standard MET values. Calories burned calculator →
Can I use MyPlate to gain weight instead of losing it?
Yes. Pick a gaining goal and the app targets a calorie surplus rather than a deficit, with a protein goal to match. A surplus of roughly 250 to 500 calories a day is the usual range for adding muscle without much fat. The calorie surplus guide →
Does calorie tracking work with intermittent fasting?
It works the same way. Fasting changes when you eat, not how many calories you need, so your daily target is unchanged. Log the meals inside your eating window and the totals take care of themselves. Intermittent fasting schedules →
