Food visor: Calorie Counter
Do you find it difficult to lose weight and could you use some help? Then install the app food visor. Indicate how much you weigh, what your goal is and whether you have a sedentary or standing job, for example. The app then calculates the maximum number of calories you can consume per day and what percentage this may consist of per food category.
Every time you have eaten or drunk something, you put this in the app. You can also use your smartphone’s camera to scan snacks and meals, but this doesn’t always work well. The app can also scan barcodes of products.
