Our Story
How our passion for nutrition and technology created Food Calorie Calculator
Food Calorie Calculator began in 2019 when Dr. Emily Chen, a nutritionist frustrated with the lack of accurate and user-friendly nutrition tracking tools, partnered with tech innovator Michael Thompson to create something better.
The initial goal was simple: create a food calorie calculator that was more accurate, more comprehensive, and easier to use than anything else available. But as we developed our technology and received feedback from early users, our vision expanded.
We realized that traditional manual entry methods for tracking nutrition were a significant barrier for many people. That's when we developed our revolutionary food scanning technology, allowing users to simply take a photo of their food and receive instant nutritional information.
Today, Food Calorie Calculator has grown from a simple idea to a comprehensive nutrition platform used by over 2 million people worldwide. We've expanded our database to include more than 50,000 foods and continue to refine our AI-powered food recognition technology.
But despite our growth, our mission remains the same: to make nutrition tracking accessible to everyone and empower people to make healthier food choices.
