Free AI calorie tracker.
Photo. Text. Barcode.
Turn a meal photo or a short description into estimated calories, protein, carbs and fat. Review the foods, correct portions, then save your log. Zuli keeps your daily targets and weekly progress together in one app.
Free, supported by occasional ads. Daily AI limits apply.
AI food logging — with you in control.
Use a photo for a plated meal, text when you know the ingredients, or a barcode for packaged food. Check each estimate before it joins your food diary.
See all 10 app screenshotsSnap a photo
Take a picture of your plate. Zuli estimates the visible foods, portions, calories and macros.
Review and edit
Correct a food, serving size or macro estimate before saving it to your day.
Type naturally
Describe your meal like you'd text a friend. No clunky forms or dropdowns.
Scan barcodes
Scan a packaged food barcode, then check the matched product and serving against its label.
More than a calorie counter — your full nutrition companion.
Every screen below is a real capture from the Zuli app — not a mockup. This is exactly what logging a meal, checking your day and reading your week looks like.
Log a meal in one sentence — or one photo.
Type “2 slices of margherita pizza” or point the camera at your plate. Zuli's AI suggests the foods and portions, then estimates calories, protein, carbs and fat — then hands you the numbers so you can correct anything it got wrong.
- ✓ Plain-English text, meal photos, or a barcode scan
- ✓ Several photos of the same meal analysed together, in one go
- ✓ Every item stays editable — portion, unit, macros and meal type
- ✓ Switch between servings and exact grams or millilitres
You review before it saves
Know what's left, not just what's eaten.
One ring, one number. Zuli shows the calories you have left for the day with a progress bar for each macro underneath, and every meal grouped into breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner with its own running total.
- ✓ Calories remaining plus protein, carb and fat progress
- ✓ Per-food calories and macros on every row
- ✓ Swipe the week strip to open any past day
- ✓ View cached food history offline; AI analysis needs internet
609 kcal left today
See the week, not just the day.
A single day is only part of the picture. Zuli charts protein, fat, carbs or calories across a whole week, breaks each day into its macro split, and marks every day you logged on a month calendar — so patterns show up long before the scale does.
- ✓ Weekly totals with every single day labelled
- ✓ Stacked carb, protein and fat bars — tap one for detail
- ✓ Month calendar that makes streaks and gaps obvious
- ✓ Step back through previous weeks with one tap
556 g protein this week
Targets you set. Data you can take with you.

- ✓ Editable calorie, protein, carb, fat and daily step goals
- ✓ Full light and dark themes, or follow your system setting
- ✓ Export everything as JSON, XML or Excel whenever you want
- ✓ Delete your account and all its data from inside the app
