building in public. made CalorieBeat, a fast calorie tracking app.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

i built CalorieBeat because i wanted a calorie tracker that stays fast and keeps basic logging free, not slow and paywalled. its on the app store now. happy to answer anything about tracking or the build.

calorie tracking should get easier the more you use it. caloriebeat puts your recent foods first so which meal do you log on repeat.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

@shredwithQpid a simple plate rule is way easier to use in real life. tracking for a week can still help you learn the portions.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

@itsakaashhh voice logging that uses real food data would be way better than guessing. having to fix every value kills the whole point.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

@nordaforda i built caloriebeat for quick photo or manual logging and every result stays editable. what part of tracking matters most to you.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

a reminder only helps when it fits your day. caloriebeat lets you choose food reminder times so which meal do you forget to log most.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

@maxerrackham @HaIoFox the first week of honest tracking is such a reality check. protein gets easier once you can actually see the gaps.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

@doctorcalf @boomboomclang deciding portions during meal prep makes the rest so much easier. tracking becomes almost automatic.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

@yullede @laliisnotcool yeah ai should stay optional. estimates only help when you can correct them.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

@Iifehertz the disappointment is real. ignored by people and judged by the lunch reminder at the same time.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

@tomatoriceball having everything in one place makes tracking way less exhausting. hope the new app makes getting back into routine easier.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

tracking should make life easier not become another job. caloriebeat keeps foods youve logged before so whats the meal you hate entering again.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

@simulationmode thats exactly how the science works. app down means calories are still in beta.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

AI photo logging should save time not ask for blind trust. caloriebeat lets you fix the result or log manually.

so which one do you use?

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

@marcell_petike @benjaminarpin thats fair. ai should give you a quick starting point you can fix not pretend the first estimate is perfect.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

@Ilost119lbs weekends are where the weekly average usually falls apart. even rough tracking beats pretending those days dont count.

@DeanTTraining weekends are where the weekly average usually falls apart. even rough tracking beats pretending those days dont count.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

@sagetight @gyurillit the weighing is easy. its the restaurant meals and giving up after a busy week that gets people. you asking for yourself.

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

i almost didnt add photo logging to caloriebeat. turns out snapping a messy plate beats typing it out.

how do you log, snap or type?

[Amπesh Sharma @amreshk005]

@TheBenzend im biased, i built caloriebeat. it nails the food tracking part, log once then re log in one tap, but its not a full journalling suite. whats the piece you want first.
