July 10, 2025 “Tired of logging calories manually? Built an AI tool that reads your food from a photo”

Hey Indie Hackers!

I just launched a project called CaltrixAI — it’s an AI-powered tool that helps you instantly estimate the calories and macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats) in your food by just taking a photo.

🥗

How it works:

  • You upload a photo of your meal

  • CaltrixAI.com uses computer vision and AI to recognize the food

  • It tells you the estimated calories, protein, carbs, and fat

💡

Why I built it:

I was tired of manually logging food into calorie tracking apps. It’s slow and annoying. I wanted something fast and frictionless — so I made it! I’m hoping this can help others who care about fitness or healthy eating but don’t want to waste time on data entry.

⚙️

It’s still early stage, but I’d love:

  • Feedback on the UX/UI or idea itself

  • Suggestions for how you would use this

  • Ideas to improve accuracy or features

Appreciate any feedback! And happy to answer anything about the tech or process behind it.

🙏

I created CaltrixAI because tracking calories manually is a hassle — especially for busy people. I wanted something easier: just snap a picture of your food and get instant calorie and macro info.
