Snap it or say it.
See the math.
Take a photo of your meal or describe it out loud. Fooca lists every ingredient with its weight and USDA source, lets you fix any portion it got wrong, and asks about what it can’t see, like the oil in the pan.

Calorie data from USDA FoodData Central.
AI reads the plate.
USDA does the math.
Watch one number from the demo above get made. When you correct the size, the same line is redone in place, with the same USDA rate.
What the camera can’t see still counts.
Oil in the pan, butter on the bun, the mayo under the lettuce. They rarely show up in a photo, and they can be the biggest number on the plate. Fooca doesn’t skip them.
It asks about the oil
A tablespoon is about 120 kcal. Until you answer, Fooca counts one, and the range stays wide to show it.
It suggests what usually goes in
Probable ingredients come unticked, so nothing is added behind your back. Tick what was there and it joins the total.
Say it and it’s counted
Mention the oil or the dressing in a voice note and Fooca logs what you said, not a guess.
A number, and how much to trust it.
The two usual ways to count calories are searching a food database by hand, or a photo app that hands you one figure. Here is where Fooca differs, and where it doesn’t.
Photo-only apps: apps that estimate a meal from a photo, such as Cal AI. Features vary by app and change often.
Free measures.
Premium remembers.
Every meal gets the full analysis on both plans. Premium is about time: it keeps everything you’ve logged and moves it to your next phone.
Questions we get.
Something missing? Write to us.
How accurate is it?
Each meal shows a likely range instead of one exact-looking number. The range is usually tighter for home cooking than for restaurant food, and it narrows every time you fix a portion or answer a question.
Is it just an AI guessing calories?
No. The AI names the food and estimates the grams. The calories come from USDA FoodData Central, and the matched entry is printed under every ingredient so you can check it.
Is it free?
Yes: 10 photo or voice scans a day and your last 7 days, with no account, for as long as you like. Premium ($3.99 a month) keeps every day you’ve logged and moves it to a new phone.
What happens to my data?
On the free plan, your meals, photos and profile stay on this device. There is no account. The photo or voice note is sent to the AI model that reads it, and Fooca keeps no copy.
If nothing is on a server, how does Premium sync?
Premium is the one place an account comes in. Your log is stored on our server so it can follow you to a new phone. On the free plan, nothing leaves the device except the photo or voice note being read.
Do I need to install it?
No, it runs in your browser. Adding it to your home screen is still worth it: some browsers clear data from sites you haven’t opened in a while, and an installed app keeps your log.
Does it work with local food?
Set your country in Profile and Fooca reads dishes by their local names. A milanesa comes back as a milanesa.
Why does it ask about cooking oil?
Oil rarely shows up in a photo, and at about 120 kcal per tablespoon it can be the largest single item in the meal. Fooca asks so the estimate covers it.
