About DeficitAI
DeficitAI is a calorie and nutrition tracking app aimed at people who want to maintain a sustainable calorie deficit. You can photograph a plate, scan a barcode or search for a meal, and the app estimates calories and macros. Every estimate stays editable before it is added to your food diary.
A daily calorie target is built from your height, weight and activity level instead of a generic figure. For packaged foods, scanning a barcode lets you choose the amount you actually ate, such as a volume or part of a pack. An in-app coach answers questions against your targets and what you have logged that day, rather than offering generic diet advice.
DeficitAI is a commercial iOS app distributed through the App Store, with privacy, terms and contact pages on its site. The landing page is hosted on a vercel.app address and credits a company called mixis in its footer.
