Calkut works out your calorie target from your body, your goal and the pace you choose — then makes logging food fast enough that you actually keep doing it.
Height, weight, age, activity and BMI — including South Asian thresholds — feed a maintenance estimate before any deficit is applied.
0.25 to 1.0 kg a week, with an honest projection for each. Anything that would push you under a safe floor gets flagged, not sold.
Scan a barcode, reuse yesterday's meal, or save a plate as a favourite. Recents sit at the top because that's what you actually eat.
Weight moves with water and sleep. Calkut shows a smoothed trend line so one bad morning doesn't feel like failure.
Lost 4 kg? Your maintenance dropped too. Calkut adjusts the target instead of letting a stale number stall you.
Export everything as CSV or erase your account in one tap. No ad networks, no selling health data on.
Five fields. Calkut reads your BMI band and only offers goals that make sense for it.
See the projected date for each option before you commit to one.
Every number is shown with its working, so nothing feels like a black box.
Your last 20 foods are one tap from the top of the list.
Packaged food is logged with the serving size already right.
Smoothed weight, average intake and streaks in one view.
The pace screen was the thing. I picked 0.5 kg and it told me exactly what that meant in weeks — first app that didn't just promise me a beach body.
I log breakfast in about eight seconds now because it's always the same three things and they're always at the top.
It warned me my target was under a safe floor and offered a slower pace instead. That's the opposite of what I expected from a diet app.
It estimates your maintenance calories from your height, weight, age, sex and activity level, then applies the deficit or surplus implied by the weekly pace you chose — about 7,700 kcal per kilogram, spread across seven days.
No. Portion presets, barcode scanning and saved meals cover most of it. Weighing helps if you want precision, but consistency beats precision for the first few months.
Health risk rises at lower BMI values for South Asian populations, so the healthy band is narrower. You can switch the thresholds on or off in your profile at any time.
Yes. Nothing is sold or shared with advertisers. You can export your full history as CSV or permanently erase your account from the You tab.
Logging works offline and syncs when you're back online. Barcode lookups for unseen products need a connection.
Free to download, a minute to set up, and no card needed to see your target.
