Smart Weight Management: It’s All About Energy Balance

Effective weight control hinges on maintaining a calorie deficit—consuming fewer calories than you expend. While traditional methods like manual logging (e.g., MyFitnessPal) are time-consuming, next-gen tools like CalorieScan leverage AI to simplify precision nutrition.

  1. Understanding Caloric Needs

Individual calorie requirements vary based on:
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
Physical Activity
Food Thermic Effect
Unlike basic carb counters or nutrient trackers, CalorieScan’s AI dynamically calculates these factors in real time.

  1. The Nutrient Balance Revolution

Macronutrients:
Protein (supports muscle retention)
Smart carbs (focus on fiber-rich sources)
Healthy fats (prioritize unsaturated varieties)
Micronutrients: Often overlooked by apps like My Fitness Pro, but critical for metabolic health. CalorieScan tracks 20+ vitamins/minerals via AI-powered scans.
