Question 1

How does Macroly work?

Accepted Answer

Macroly uses advanced AI vision technology to analyze photos of your meals. Simply take a picture of your food, and our AI will identify the items, estimate portions, and calculate the calories and macros. No manual searching through databases required.

Question 2

Is Macroly free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Macroly offers a generous free plan with 30 AI meal logs per month, a 7-day memory window, and 3 catch-up days. Premium features like unlimited logs, full food memory, and AI learning are available for €6.99/month.

Question 3

How accurate is the AI calorie estimation?

Accepted Answer

Our AI achieves approximately 95% accuracy for common meals, especially when combined with plate calibration and user corrections. The more you use Macroly and provide feedback, the more accurate it becomes for your specific eating patterns.

Question 4

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes, an account is required to save your meal history, preferences, and food memory. Sign up is quick and free—just your email and a password.

Question 5

What is Eating Out Mode?

Accepted Answer

Eating Out Mode is designed for restaurant meals. Instead of taking a photo, you can simply type what you ordered (e.g., "Chipotle burrito bowl with chicken, rice, and guacamole") and Macroly will estimate the nutrition instantly.

Question 6

What is Catch-Up Mode (Confession)?

Accepted Answer

Catch-Up Mode lets you log meals you forgot to track using natural language. Just describe what you ate: "Yesterday I had a pizza for lunch and pasta for dinner" and the AI will parse the dates and create the appropriate meal entries.

Question 7

What is Plate Calibration?

Accepted Answer

Plate Calibration teaches Macroly the size of your common plates and bowls. By taking a photo with a reference object (like your phone or a coin), the AI can more accurately estimate portion sizes on that specific dishware.

Question 8

What is Personal Food Memory?

Accepted Answer

Personal Food Memory lets you save specific products you eat regularly. If you always buy the same protein bar or cottage cheese brand, you can scan the barcode and save it. Future mentions of that item will use your exact nutrition data.

Question 9

What does "AI That Learns" mean?

Accepted Answer

Every time you correct an AI estimate, Macroly remembers that feedback. Over time, it adjusts its predictions based on your personal patterns—your portion sizes, your preferred cooking styles, and more.

Question 10

What are the confidence levels?

Accepted Answer

Every meal in Macroly shows a confidence badge: Verified (data from product scans), High (well-recognized foods with clear portions), Medium (common foods with some uncertainty), or Estimate (less common foods or unclear photos).
