How does Trakon's AI food scanner work?
Point your phone's camera at any meal and Trakon's AI recognizes the food and estimates calories and macros instantly. No manual searching or barcode scanning needed.
Do I need to track every meal?
For best results, yes. But even tracking most meals gives you valuable awareness. The biggest mistake is underestimating portion sizes — scanning helps with accuracy.
What should I eat for weight loss?
Prioritize protein (chicken, fish, eggs, beans), vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats. Avoid liquid calories (sodas, juices) and ultra-processed foods. See meal ideas →
How many calories should I eat?
It depends on your age, weight, height and activity level. Use a TDEE calculator to estimate your daily needs, then subtract 300-500 calories for weight loss. Trakon helps you track both calories in and out.
Are carbs bad for weight loss?
No. Carbs are not inherently fattening. Whole grains, rice, potatoes and fruit are healthy. What matters is total calorie balance, not which macronutrient you eat.
Should I follow a specific diet (keto, intermittent fasting, etc.)?
No specific diet is superior for weight loss — they all work by creating a calorie deficit. Choose an eating pattern you can sustain long-term. The best diet is the one you can stick with.
How accurate is calorie tracking?
Calorie estimates are approximations, not exact measurements. Food labels can be off by 10-20%, and AI estimates have similar variance. But tracking consistently is far better than not tracking at all — awareness is the goal, not perfection.
