Understand the calories in the food you actually eat — including the way you make it.
Tell Circa what you ate — "two eggs, toast and a cup of tea" — or take a photo. You get one meal broken into its items, each with an estimated portion, calories, protein, carbs and fat.
Circa shows you what it assumed. Less oil in your noodles? A smaller bowl of rice? Change the amount, see the difference, and save your version for next time.
WHAT IT'S GOOD AT
• Home cooking. The stew, the curry, the stir-fry — meals no packaged-food database knows. Describe them in the portions you use: a plate, a bowl, two rotis, a cup.
• Restaurant and takeout meals. Describe your order and check what the estimate assumed.
• Photos, when you'd rather not type. Take one or pick one from your library, then check the words Circa read from it before it estimates.
• Being corrected. Change an amount, or say what was different — the ingredients or how it was cooked — and Circa estimates the meal again.
• Honest uncertainty. Every number is an estimate and looks like one. Saving a meal doesn't turn it into a measurement.
WHEN YOU'RE WORKING TOWARD SOMETHING
• Lose fat, maintain or gain. Set a goal weight and see a steady path to it, with daily calories, protein, carbs and fat worked out for you.
• Targets that show their working. Each number comes with the reason behind it and its sources, and nothing changes unless you change it.
• Weigh-ins, typed or from Apple Health. See your weight over time against your goal, and how far there is to go.
SAVED MEALS
Your usual breakfast, your regular order, your own recipe. Save the corrected version with its items and assumptions, then log it again without starting over.
ALSO
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with the calories left today.
• Daily reminders at set times, or none at all.
• Share any meal as an image.
