Free Calorie Counter — Scan Food Free, No App, No Signup
Point your camera at your meal. Get calories and macros in about 5 seconds. Free.
Most "free" calorie counters make you type every ingredient by hand — then charge you to scan a photo. FoodIdentifier flips it: the photo scan is the free product. Open foodidentifier.com, photograph any meal, and get calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, blood-sugar impact and a keto check in seconds. No app download, no account, no credit card.
What's actually free here?
Free scanning — photograph real meals and get real nutrition numbers, free.
Calories + full macros — protein, carbs, fat per food and per meal.
Blood-sugar impact — glycemic estimate per meal. (Informational only — not medical advice. Talk to your doctor.)
Keto check — instant low-carb verdict on any meal.
Label OCR — scan packaged-food nutrition labels with your camera.
AI coaching note — a short practical nudge with every scan.
