Formo leads the rating of health and fitness apps in Ukraine. How does calorie counting by photo work?

Ukrainian company Priority Apps has developed the Formo mobile application for calorie counting and nutrition control, which has already received over 700,000 downloads. Formo offers a wide range of features for tracking your diet: from manually adding meals using text or voice to automatically recognizing food from a photo using artificial intelligence.

The application allows you to determine the calorie content of dishes, track proteins, fats and carbohydrates, monitor your daily diet and progress in achieving your desired weight.

Formo is available on iOS and Android and tops the rankings in the "Health and Fitness" category in the Ukrainian App Store and Google Play.

How does calorie counting by photo work in Formo?

One of Formo's main features is food recognition using artificial intelligence. The user simply takes a picture of the dish, after which the application analyzes the image and estimates the number of calories, proteins, fats and carbohydrates (CPF).

The results are automatically added to a food diary, where the user can track calories consumed and the remaining daily allowance.

This approach allows you to record meals faster without having to weigh the food each time and manually search for each ingredient.

What Formo offers

  • Calorie counting by photo. Artificial intelligence recognizes food in a photo and estimates its calorie content and CVD.
  • Personal calorie intake. The application calculates the recommended daily calorie intake according to the user's parameters and goal.
  • Weight loss tracking. Formo helps you track your progress and shows you the estimated date you will reach your desired weight.
  • Food diary. All added meals are saved, and the user sees the number of calories consumed during the day.
  • Protein, fat and carbohydrate analysis. In addition to calories, the application allows you to monitor the main macronutrients.
  • Add food by text or voice. You can not only take a picture of the dish, but also describe it.

How Formo is different from other calorie counters

Popular apps for tracking your diet include MyFitnessPal, FatSecret, Cal AI, YAZIO, and Lose It!.

Formo has a simple and intuitive interface that is easy to understand even for those who have never used calorie counting apps before.

One of the features of Formo is the combination of different ways to add food in one application: from manual entry and voice description to automatic photo analysis using artificial intelligence. Thanks to this, each user can choose the most convenient way to control their nutrition.

The app is primarily aimed at people who want to track their diet but don't have the time or inclination to weigh their food and manually count calories every day. In particular, it can be convenient for busy people, parents with children, and those who lead an active lifestyle.

At the same time, calculating calories from a photo does not guarantee absolute accuracy. For example, artificial intelligence cannot always determine the amount of oil, the composition of sauces, or the exact weight of a portion. That is why Formo has implemented the ability to specify the details of a dish after taking a photo: the user can adjust the weight, change the ingredients, and other parameters to get a more accurate calorie calculation.

The Formo development team is constantly working to improve the accuracy of food recognition and improve artificial intelligence algorithms. The developers regularly optimize the system, take into account the results of its analysis and implement new features of AI models as they appear. Thanks to this, the food recognition technology is gradually improved, and the counting results become more accurate.

Does Formo help you lose weight?

Formo is designed for users who want to lose weight, gain weight, or maintain their desired weight. The app helps you track your calorie intake and shape your eating habits according to your individual goals.

During registration, the user completes a short questionnaire, in which they indicate their age, height, weight, level of physical activity and desired goal. Based on this data, Formo calculates an individual daily calorie intake required to lose, gain or maintain weight using special formulas.

Thanks to daily food records, the user can monitor how well their diet meets the calculated norm and adjust their diet if necessary. Regular adherence to the recommended calorie intake helps create conditions for gradually achieving the desired weight.
