CalorieCue review
A focused iOS tracker that pairs photo-based food logging with AI coaching and meal planning.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CalorieCue is an iOS nutrition-tracking app for people monitoring calories, macros, weight, and progress toward losing, maintaining, or gaining weight. Its food diary accepts meal photos, barcode scans, and text entries, while an AI nutrition coach and meal planning extend it beyond basic calorie recording. People who want a mobile-first way to connect food logging with weight trends may find its mix useful; those who need Android should look elsewhere.
The Free plan allows 3 meal scans and 3 AI Coach messages per day, keeps 3 days of diary history, and provides limited insights. Premium includes unlimited photo scans and barcodes, voice logging, meal planning, full diary history, and insights and analytics. A 7-day free trial is listed. This structure makes the free tier suitable for trying a limited logging routine, while Premium is the fit for ongoing use of the expanded tracking and planning features.
CalorieCue also logs weight and trends, supports calorie targets, and syncs weight and activity data through Apple Health. That connection gives it a defined fit for iPhone users who want food and activity-related records alongside weight tracking. The app is mobile-only, and its listed support channel is email. Pick it if photo or text logging, automated coaching, and meal planning matter in an iOS nutrition app; choose an alternative if you need Android access or a less restricted free diary.
