How it works
Point, scan, log.
Scan the package
The app reads the code and finds the product with its label nutrition.
Choose the amount
Grams, millilitres or servings. Calories and macros update as you type.
Photo and barcode, together
Use the label when there is one.
A photo is the fastest way to log a plate of food. For anything in a package, such as yogurt, cereal, protein bars or drinks, the barcode gives you the manufacturer's own numbers. C for Calories has both, free, in the same diary.
- Free barcode scanning

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is the barcode scanner free?
Yes. The barcode scanner is free for everyone, from day one.
Where does the product data come from?
Packaged products are looked up in open food databases, including Open Food Facts. The nutrition comes from the product's label as recorded there.
What if a product isn't found?
You can search by name, or use Quick Add to type the numbers from the label. Found products are remembered on your phone, so they work offline next time.
Does it work without the camera?
Yes. If camera access is off, type the barcode number instead.
Are drinks logged in millilitres?
Yes. Products labelled per 100 ml are logged in ml, so you can enter the amount you actually drank.
