Eato®: AI Calorie Counter 4+

This app is a great concept - take a picture and have AI figure out what it is and count calories for you. If you are completely new to calorie counting, not interested in learning how to do it properly, or just don't care much for accuracy, then maybe this will work for you.

For anyone who is a seasoned calorie counter, this app is beyond frustrating. You cannot edit anything you log. You can't even delete it once you log it. As an example, I tested the app with a plain chicken breast, which I weighed beforehand (6 oz cooked). The app did, indeed, correctly identify my chicken breast. However, it asked me how many servings I wanted to log without indicating how much was one serving. If you enter chicken breast manually, it gives you plenty of choices, but if you use the AI tool, you have no control.

I would potentially use this app over my preferred calorie tracker (Lose It) if it took the AI information and logged it by component in a meal AND if I could edit or delete those components from my log afterwards. I'm really surprised this app was released before this basic editing feature was added. It seems like they spent a lot of time developing the "meal plan" feature (which is kind of nice but not what I was looking for when I downloaded this app) and not enough time making the calorie tracker part usable, which I imagine is what most people probably want given that it's marketed as a calorie tracker app.

The main thing keeping me from giving this app a higher rating is that it lacks the ability to allow you to edit your food entries. So, the calorie counts are inaccurate. For example, I eat plain oats with fruit just about every morning. Now I selected no dairy when I first signed up on this app. Yet the AI logger still calculates that I have either yogurt or milk in my mixed fruit and oats. But I don’t, I use water. If I could edit/delete the wrong ingredient, it would give me a much better calculation.

There has also been several times that it gave me zeroes across all three categories on foods it seemed to recognize when o know that it has some calories, proteins, carbs, etc.

I also wish we could select one of our food entries and it would bring up the details/breakdown and let us edit it there. Again allowing for a much more accurate calculation of calories.

The meal plan/suggestions also do not allow for any editing. This is not nearly as crucial as what I mentioned above but would be helpful.
All in all, I like the app but I would really love it if it had more user editable for more accurate tracking.

I downloaded this app 2 days ago. Signed up for the 7 day free trial. And I was charged $40 before the 7 days are up. I like the app enough, it’s cool for the AI to take a picture of my food and analyze it. I know nothing is perfect, it’s gotten what I’m eating wrong a few times mistaken pulled chicken for pulled pork or house salad for Caesar salad, a bit annoying but not the end of the world. I was going back and forth on whether I wanted to use it because my ADHD will use something that’s fun to use for about two weeks and the novelty will wear off. Nothing against this app, but it can ask the hundreds of apps I’ve downloaded in the past why they are no longer downloaded on my phone, I grew bored. This app may have gone the distance but it didn’t even give me 5-7 days to decide. I’d probably use it when I get a job and I’m reaching for snacks vs healthy stuff to help me decide. I want to lose my weight but I more want my money back for the time being. $40 is a lot to spend when for an app I might get bored of and not use.

I want those other 4 days to decide if it’s worth it. I honestly just want the money back. 🥺😠😖
