How does the AI meal scanning work and what information does it provide?
AI meal scanning uses computer vision to analyze a photo of your meal, instantly estimating calories, macros (protein, carbs, fats), ingredients, additives, portion sizes, and food categories. This data is then automatically logged to your daily tracker from a 5+ million item database.
Does the Cal Plus AI Chat Coach remember past conversations and preferences?
Yes, the Cal Plus AI Chat Coach has persistent memory. It remembers your goals, dietary choices, preferred foods, restrictions, and personal patterns, allowing it to provide increasingly personalized and relevant recommendations and guidance over time.
Can I track my gym workouts and cardio within the Cal Plus app?
Absolutely. Cal Plus includes a complete gym workout logging app. You can track exercises, sets, reps, weight, distance, duration, and rest times, along with estimated calories burned, all within the same application you use for nutrition tracking.
What are Cal Plus Groups and how do they help with accountability?
Cal Plus Groups are private or public communities where you can share meals, track progress, and stay accountable with friends, family, or other users. They allow for shared streaks, reactions, and comments, fostering motivation and support for healthy habits.
