Calorie Counter
Count Calories From a Photo. First Scan Free.
Send @vustCalBot a photo of your plate and get a calorie estimate — dish name, kcal, the portion it assumed, and a confidence line. Your first count is free; after that you keep going in Telegram.
Scope
A number to act on, not a lab result
Every count — welcome message and every scan — carries the same line: this is an AI estimate from a photo, not medical or dietary advice. It's built to catch the big misses (400 vs 900 kcal), not to replace a food scale or a nutritionist. Sauces, hidden oil and portion guesses are the sources of error.
See the difference
One photo, one calorie estimate — the first one free.

Estimate, not diagnosis
AI estimate only
Every count carries the same disclaimer: an AI estimate from a photo, not medical or dietary advice.

Failed analyses are never charged
A rejected non-food photo or a failed analysis does not keep a debit.
Frequently asked questions
How does a photo-based calorie counter work?
You send a photo of your plate to @vustCalBot; a vision model estimates the dish and its calorie content from what's visible, then returns the number along with a confidence line and the portion size it assumed.
How accurate is a calorie count from a single photo?
It's an estimate, not a lab measurement — sauces, hidden oil, and portion size are the usual sources of error, which is why every result includes a confidence line. It's built to catch the big misses (400 vs 900 kcal), not to hit an exact gram count.
Is a photo calorie counter free to use?
Yes — your first count is free. After that, you keep going in Telegram. Rejected non-food photos and failed analyses cost nothing.
Do I need to enter portion sizes myself?
No — the model assumes a standard portion based on what it sees in the photo and states that assumption in the result. There's no manual weighing or portion slider to fill in first.
Is this a replacement for a food scale or nutritionist?
No. Every result carries the same disclaimer: this is an AI estimate from a photo, not medical or dietary advice. If you need gram-precise tracking for a medical condition, use a food scale and consult a professional instead.
Does counting calories this way require an app download?
No app and no account beyond Telegram — open @vustCalBot, send a photo, get the count back in the same chat.
