WellixCount calories with a photo
Snap your meal. Wellix's AI identifies the food and logs calories, protein, carbs and fat — in seconds.
Coming soon to Google Play
What is Wellix?
Wellix is an AI calorie and macronutrient tracker for iPhone. You photograph a meal, and Wellix identifies each food item on the plate and estimates its calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat. You see the itemised result and can correct anything before it is saved.
Wellix also sets your daily calorie and macro targets from your body, your goal and the pace you choose, and tracks your weight trend against what you actually ate. It works in 16 languages — the AI's results, not just the interface.
How it works
Photograph your meal
Point your camera at any plate — home-cooked, restaurant, or packaged. You can also describe your meal by text or voice.
AI does the math
Wellix identifies each item and estimates calories, protein, carbs and fat. If something is ambiguous, it asks one quick clarifying question.
Review and save
Adjust portions or ingredients if needed, then save. Your daily totals and macro breakdown update instantly.
What Wellix helps you solve
Most people abandon calorie tracking because of friction, not because they stopped caring. Each of these is a problem Wellix was built to remove.
Logging every meal takes too long.
With WellixPhotograph the plate. Wellix identifies each item and fills in the numbers for you.
ResultA meal logged in seconds, instead of searching a food database entry by entry.
I don't want to weigh everything I eat.
With WellixWellix estimates portions from the image, then lets you correct the one thing the camera cannot see — usually the cooking oil.
ResultUseful accuracy without a kitchen scale, and a habit you can keep outside your own kitchen.
I don't know how many calories I should be eating.
With WellixWellix computes your maintenance energy and a daily target from your body, your goal and the weekly pace you choose.
ResultA calorie and macro target with a safety floor — and published formulas you can check for yourself.
Restaurant meals and home cooking aren't in any database.
With WellixWellix reads the actual plate in front of you rather than looking up a name, so an unlisted dish is no harder than a packaged one.
ResultThe meals that used to go unlogged get logged — which is where most tracking accuracy is really lost.
I hit my calorie goal but never my protein.
With WellixWellix breaks every item into protein, carbohydrate and fat, and shows the day's totals against your targets.
ResultYou can see which meal left you short, while there is still time in the day to fix it.
The app is in English, and I am not.
With WellixWellix speaks 16 languages, and the AI returns food names and results in your language too.
ResultYou log in the language you think in — which is the language you name your food in.

What is Wellix?
Wellix is an AI calorie and macronutrient tracker for iPhone. You photograph a meal, Wellix identifies each food item and estimates its calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat, and you review the itemised result before saving it. Wellix also sets daily targets from your body and goal, tracks your weight trend, and works in 16 languages.
Is Wellix free?
Wellix is free to start, with no credit card required. You can scan meals with AI for free every day. Premium removes the daily scan limits and unlocks the full personal nutrition plan, and new users can try Premium free for 7 days.
How accurate is calorie counting from a photo?
Peer-reviewed evaluations of general-purpose vision models put energy estimation at roughly 30% mean absolute percentage error from a photograph alone, improving to about 14% once the ingredients are named. Wellix has not published a validated accuracy figure for its own model and does not claim one. It shows you every item it detects, with calories and macros per item, so you can correct anything before it is saved.
How does the Wellix AI food scanner work?
Wellix sends your photo to a vision AI model, which identifies each food item on the plate, estimates its weight, and computes calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat for each item separately. When an item is genuinely ambiguous, Wellix asks you a single clarifying question rather than guessing.
How does Wellix decide how many calories I should eat?
Wellix estimates your resting metabolic rate with a Harris-Benedict equation, multiplies it by an activity coefficient to get your maintenance energy, then applies a daily calorie deficit or surplus derived from the weekly pace you chose. It will never set a target below 1,500 kcal for men or 1,200 kcal for women. The full formulas and their sources are published on the Wellix methodology page.
Can I track calories without weighing my food?
Yes. Wellix estimates portions from your photo, so a food scale is optional. Accuracy improves when you correct what the camera cannot see — most importantly the fat used in cooking, which is invisible in the finished dish and is the single largest source of error in photo-based estimation.
Does Wellix work for restaurant meals and home cooking?
Yes, and those are the meals it helps with most. Wellix reads the plate in front of you instead of looking up a database entry, so a dish that exists in no database — a restaurant special, a family recipe — is no harder to log than a packaged food.
What languages does Wellix support?
Wellix speaks 16 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Vietnamese and Chinese. The AI returns food names and results in your language, not only the interface.
Is my data private?
Your Wellix food log belongs to you. Photos are used only to analyze your meal, and you can delete your account and all associated data at any time from inside the app.
Is Wellix available on Android?
Wellix is available on iPhone today. The Android version is in development and is coming soon to Google Play.
