Calorific - What do calories look like?

I was concerned about the low ratings on this app. Then I read the negative reviews. They were filled with people's misconceptions about how many calories common foods have. As someone who has been diligently tracking the calories in every possible food I can eat and finally successfully lost 40 lbs in the last 8 months, going from 28% body fat to 11% body fat, I can vouch that these pictures are accurate. I think people are especially thrown by the amount of calories in bread products. "Really? A bagel has over 200 calories??" Yes, really. Moments of shock and calibration like this have been the building blocks of my success over the last 8 months and apps like this help spread that knowledge.

Its a great way to make comparisons between food calories and weights

A quickly looked at some images and I found some wrong info... example Brown Rice vs. White Rice... They show that you can have more white rice than brown rice?? Something like 5x more (not sure anymore because I deleted the app quickly after that...) Not a good app to rely on.

If the calculation is accurate then this is a GREAT way to figure out how much you are eating. Need more verity though so please add more!

First off, the calorie content is extremely inaccurate. For example, it says two and a bit more potato is 200 kcal, whereas in fact 1 common potato is about 110 kcal. There are also very little food varieties. The plate size is unidentified. Even to the same food, different variation could vary a lot in terms of their energy. I so regretted paying money for this app. I mean I like the fact that you make it very vivid and visualized, but there are so many errors and potential improvement that could've been made.

This is very helpful for visual learners! I notice many European foods are listed; we could use more common American options, too. I appreciate being able to visually compare volumes of different foods with the same caloric value. This is a useful app for retraining my estimations of what I'm eating!

What is the size of the plate? Seems important if the whole app is using scale to guide you.

I read some reviews about the accuracy, like the one about the 1.5 oranges. If you actually READ the amount of grams, it said 431g I believe. If you actually look up the calories of that specific gram amount, it is indeed about 200 calories. Maybe they weighed the oranges with the peel (as the picture shows), so maybe they got the incorrect visual amount because of that. I feel this app is very well done!

I too cannot purchase pictures. The search screen takes over the iTunes pop up.

I would pay to have the ability to change the calorie count! 200 calories is not a motivator. People need to see their 2000 calorie meals!!
