AI Calorie Estimator

Type What You Ate. Get Calories Instantly.

Most calorie counters make you search a database, scan a barcode, or tap through endless menus just to log a sandwich. This estimator does the opposite: describe your meal the way you'd say it out loud — "two eggs, a slice of toast and a banana" — and get an instant calorie and macro breakdown. No account, no manual entry, no friction.

It's the fastest way to sanity-check a meal before you eat it, settle a "how many calories is this?" debate, or see roughly where your day is landing.

How the Estimator Works

When you type a meal, the tool parses each food and quantity ("2 eggs", "1 cup rice", "150g chicken") and matches it against a database of common foods with typical portion sizes and USDA-style nutrition values. It adds everything up and shows you total calories plus protein, carbs, and fat — with a per-item breakdown so you can see what's driving the numbers.

It understands plain-language amounts (a, two, half, a dozen), household servings (slice, cup, scoop, bowl), and weights (grams and ounces). Separate foods with commas or the words "and" / "with".

How Accurate Is It?

This is a directional estimate, not a lab measurement. It assumes standard portion sizes and average recipes, so a heaping bowl or a restaurant version can run higher. That's exactly the gap Bento Bunny's app closes: instead of guessing portions, its AI looks at a photo of your actual plate (or reads a sentence you type) and estimates the real portions and ingredients for you — far more accurately, in seconds. You can also scan a barcode for packaged foods.

Why Effortless Logging Matters

The single biggest reason people quit calorie tracking is the effort of logging. Studies consistently show people underestimate intake by 30–50%, and the more taps it takes to log, the sooner they stop. Removing the friction — type it, photograph it, or scan it — is what makes tracking a habit you actually keep. Try the estimator above, then let Bento Bunny do it automatically.
