Features of CalPerks

Effortless AI-Powered Logging

Ditch the barcode scanner and endless database searches. With CalPerks, you just describe your meal in plain language. Say "chicken burrito with extra guac from Chipotle" or "mom's homemade lasagna," and our AI understands the context. You can type, speak, or even snap a photo. It analyzes your description in seconds, pulling from the most reliable nutrition data to give you an instant calorie and macronutrient estimate. Logging takes less than 30 seconds, turning a daily task into a simple, seamless habit.

Powered by USDA Gold-Standard Data

Accuracy is non-negotiable. That's why CalPerks is built on USDA FoodData Central—the most reliable and scientific source for nutrition information available. Unlike other AI trackers that purely guess, we use this authoritative database as our primary source. If a specific item isn't in the USDA database, our sophisticated AI acts as an intelligent fallback, ensuring you still get a smart, contextual estimate. This hybrid approach guarantees real science, not just guesswork.

Transparent Confidence Scoring

We believe you deserve to know how accurate your log is. For every entry, CalPerks provides a clear confidence score based on the clarity of your description and the data available. This transparency allows you to see exactly how your estimate was calculated and when you might need to add a quick clarifying detail. It builds trust and empowers you with knowledge, unlike other trackers that provide a black-box number without explanation.

Consistency Rewards & Gamification

CalPerks makes sticking to your goals genuinely motivating. We reward your dedication through a powerful gamification system. Maintain your daily tracking streak and work towards an incredible milestone reward: track every day for a full year and earn $100. This unique incentive transforms the grind of calorie tracking into an exciting challenge, giving you a tangible reason to come back and build a lifelong healthy habit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI logging work?

Just describe what you ate in plain language—for example, "chicken burrito with guac from Chipotle" or "a bowl of homemade beef stew." You can type it, speak it, or use a photo. Our AI parses the description, identifies the components, and cross-references them with the USDA FoodData Central database to provide accurate calorie and macro estimates in seconds. It understands context, portion cues, and preparation styles.

Can I log meals in my own language or from any cuisine?

Absolutely! Our AI is designed to understand food descriptions in multiple languages. You can log pho, biryani, tamales, or any dish from any cuisine—just describe it as you normally would. This makes CalPerks incredibly powerful for users worldwide or those who enjoy diverse, international foods that are often missing from standard calorie-tracking databases.

How accurate are the calorie estimates?

Our estimates are built for high accuracy. We primarily use data from USDA FoodData Central, which is the most reliable scientific source for nutritional information. When an exact match isn't available, our AI provides a contextual estimate based on similar foods and your description's details. We also show a confidence score for each entry, so you know the estimate's reliability and can add clarifying info if needed.

What is the $100 yearly reward and how does it work?

The $100 reward is our flagship incentive for building a consistent habit. When you log any food (one log minimum) every single day for 365 consecutive days, you earn a $100 reward. This is paid via a digital gift card or similar method. It’s designed to provide powerful, long-term motivation, turning the daily act of tracking into a rewarding challenge with a fantastic payoff.
