- Include the plate in the photo.
- Reduce overlapping foods where possible.
Check oils, sauces and fillings separately: a photo may not show them.
Photo calorie counter vs manual tracking
Starting from a photo can save you entering each visible ingredient yourself. Manual corrections help you include details the image cannot show, such as oil, sauces or a hidden filling.

Before your next photo
Photo calorie counter: your questions
Can a photo really tell how many calories are in food?
A photo can provide a starting estimate of visible foods and portions. It cannot reveal every ingredient or measure weight. Megrami shows an editable estimate so you can check what was recognized.
How accurate is calorie counting from a photo?
It is an estimate. Portion size, mixed dishes, cooking methods and hidden oils or sauces can affect the result. Review the foods and weights rather than treating the result as an exact measurement.
Can I change an incorrect ingredient or portion?
Yes. Change grams, add or remove foods, replace a food, or disable an ingredient. Calories and macros update from your current edits without another photo analysis.
Does Megrami calculate protein, carbs and fat?
Yes. The result includes estimated calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat, with an ingredient breakdown and editable portion weights.
Do I need to weigh my food?
You can start without a scale. If you know a measured weight, enter it to replace the portion estimate. Ingredients that are not visible still need checking.
Can I save the result to my food diary?
Yes. Save the current edited meal to Diary with its meal type, date and time. Your diary is stored on this device; no account is required.
Is my food photo stored permanently?
Your photo is sent to Megrami and its AI provider for analysis. Raw photos are not persisted in the browser's restored analysis or Diary; structured meal data is saved. The preview can remain temporarily in memory while this tab is open.
