Key takeaways:
A calorie intake tracker is a running log of what you eat and how many calories it adds up to, day by day. Unlike a full food-database app, this one skips the barcode scanner and the search-as-you-type suggestions — you enter the food name and the calorie figure you already know, and it handles the running total, the daily chart, and the history.
That trade-off suits people who already know roughly what things cost calorie-wise, or who are copying numbers off a label, and who'd rather nothing about their diet leave their own browser.
Single meals are easy to misjudge — a "light lunch" can be denser than dinner. Logging every entry and letting the day's total speak for itself removes the guesswork, and a week of daily totals against a goal shows a pattern that no single meal can. The chart exists for exactly that: a fast visual read of days over goal versus days under it.
Pair this with the Calorie Calculator to estimate a daily target in the first place, the Macro Tracker to see where those calories come from, and the Meal Planner to plan ahead instead of logging after the fact.
Is this a calorie counting database like MyFitnessPal?
No — there's no food database or barcode scanner here. You type the food and the calories yourself, which is faster if you already know the numbers or read them off a label, and means nothing about what you eat is sent anywhere.
Where does my food log get stored?
Entirely in this browser, on this device, using local storage. Nothing is uploaded. Clearing your browser data or switching devices will lose it, so export a CSV backup if you want to keep a copy.
Can I set a daily calorie goal?
Yes — enter a goal and the chart draws a line at that level so you can see each day's total against it at a glance.
How do I know how many calories a food has?
Check the nutrition label, or search "calories in [food]" — most packaged foods and common meals have well-established figures. This tool logs the number you enter; it doesn't look it up for you.
Can I edit or delete an entry?
Delete any row with the ✕ button. There's no in-place edit — delete the wrong entry and add it again with the correct numbers.
Is this medical or dietary advice?
No. This is a tracking tool, not a source of nutrition advice or calorie targets. For a goal that suits your body and health, talk to a GP or accredited dietitian.
Can I export or print my food log?
Yes — Download PDF and Print both produce a dated table of every entry with daily totals; Export CSV gives the raw data for a spreadsheet.
