calorie tracker

Food intake monitor

A calorie tracker is an app, device, or log used to monitor daily food intake by recording calories consumed.

Users typically enter meals and snacks to track whether they're meeting dietary goals: I've been using a calorie tracker to stay under 1,800 a day.

Many trackers also log exercise and calculate net calories.
