Frequently asked questions
How does AI photo calorie counting work in Byte Balance?
You take a photo of your meal. An AI vision model identifies each food on the plate and estimates its portion, and Byte Balance looks up calories, protein, carbs and fat for each item. You see every item with its estimated weight and can change the portion or remove an item before the meal is saved. Portions are estimated from the photo alone, so it is worth a quick check.
Does Byte Balance sync with Apple Health?
Not yet. Apple Health integration is not available in the current version. We will say so here when it is.
Can I log food without taking a photo?
Yes. Besides photo scanning you can scan a barcode, search for a food, import a recipe from a link, re-log a past meal in one tap, or — with Pro — log by voice.
Does the calorie target change over time?
With Pro, yes. The adaptive calorie target compares what you log with how your weight actually changes and adjusts your daily target, rather than relying only on a formula based on age, height and activity.
