Portion Estimation

AI estimates portion sizes from the photo. You can adjust if needed — but most users find it accurate enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is photo calorie counting?
For common dishes and single-ingredient foods, our AI achieves accuracy comparable to manual database lookup. Complex homemade meals may have wider margins, but you can always adjust portions after scanning.
Can it handle multiple items on one plate?
Yes. The AI detects individual components — for example, rice, grilled chicken, and salad on the same plate will be identified and counted separately.
Is this better than manual calorie counting?
For most people, yes. Photo scanning takes 3 seconds vs 2-3 minutes of searching databases manually. The small accuracy trade-off is worth the consistency — you're more likely to actually track every meal.
What if the AI doesn't recognize my food?
If the photo result isn't right, you can type the dish name instead. The bot also suggests alternatives if it's unsure. Over time, the model improves from user feedback.
Does photo quality matter?
Good lighting helps, but the AI works with typical smartphone photos. Avoid very dark or blurry images. A clear top-down or 45-degree angle gives best results.
Do I need a special app?
No. ScanFood.AI works as a Telegram bot. Open Telegram, send a food photo to the bot, get your calories. No extra app to install.
