Caloriq review
Photo and barcode logging pair with nutrition trends, meal plans and AI coaching.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Caloriq is a nutrition and weight-management app for people who want automated food logging alongside weight and nutrition tracking. Available on iOS, Android and the web, it lets users photograph meals for calorie and macronutrient estimates or scan packaged-food barcodes. A diary records meals and nutrition, while weight, body measurements and water intake have their own tracking. Its mix of food logging and weight trends suits individuals looking for a single app to follow eating patterns over time.
The free plan includes AI food scanning, barcode scanning, and meal and nutrition logging, with limited AI scans. Both caloriq Pro Monthly and caloriq Pro Yearly include 50 AI scans per day, full Chef coaching features, weekly reports and meal plans. The paid tiers also connect the diary to AI-generated seven-day meal plans and grocery lists. That structure gives prospective users a way to start with core logging before deciding whether expanded scanning and coaching are worth a subscription. The plans differ by billing period; the listed features are the same.
Caloriq’s distinguishing breadth is its combination of photo estimates, micronutrient tracking, 30-day nutrition trend charts and weight-trend charts, rather than food logging alone. Chef AI offers chat-based guidance, tips and weekly reports, so the coaching is automated. The app is cloud and mobile, and lists GDPR compliance; support channels are email and ticket. Choose it if you value scan-based estimates and nutrition trends with optional automated planning. It is a less natural fit if you want unlimited scanning on the free tier or prefer coaching from a person rather than AI.
