CalorissimoBot: calorie tracking

bot • Health & Fitness

About this App

Most calorie apps want a sign-up, a food database, a photo of your plate, and ten taps for a single muffin. CalorissimoBot takes the opposite route: you type how many calories you ate, and it is logged. The bot describes itself as no-bs calorie tracking, and the command list backs that up. 🍽️

One command instead of a food diary

The core is /log. You enter what you ate along with its calories, and the bot adds it to today's diary. Every entry gets an ID.

Made a typo? /unlog with the ID deletes the entry. To see everything you have eaten, send /query. With no argument you get today, and with a date in YYYY-MM-DD format you can open any past day.

Your own limit and your own reset time

The default daily target is 2000 kcal. If your goal is different, change it with /setdailycalories. There is no universal number: the right target depends on height, weight, age and activity, and for any serious goal it is worth discussing it with a doctor or dietitian.

There is also a fine-tuning option. /setresettime decides when the counter goes back to zero, entered in UTC using the 24-hour format. It helps if you eat dinner late and do not want a midnight snack to count toward the next day. 🌙

Weight, height, and BMI

Calories are only half the picture, so the bot also tracks weight. The commands:

/updateweight saves your current weight in kilograms.
/deleteweight removes a wrong entry.
/queryweight shows statistics about your weigh-ins.
/setweightgoal sets a target weight in kilograms.
/setgender and /setheight feed the BMI calculation.

BMI is a rough estimate. It cannot tell muscle from fat, so treat it as a trend marker and not a diagnosis. 📈

A weekly look at your habits

/stats gives weekly calorie statistics. A single day can go off track and mean nothing, but seven-day averages show real habits: where you regularly overshoot and where you under-eat.

Watch the trend rather than single numbers. The trend shows if your plan works.

Tracking together in a group

The commands also work in group chats. You can start a shared chat with a partner or friends who are cutting weight together and log meals in front of each other. That mild public pressure sometimes holds a routine better than any reminder. 👥

If you prefer to keep your numbers private, just use the bot in a direct chat.

How to count honestly

You supply the calories yourself, so the accuracy is on you. A few habits help:

Read the package label and scale it to your serving, not to a hundred grams.
Weigh grains and oil. A spoonful of oil quietly adds around a hundred calories.
Log right away. By evening you will have forgotten half of your snacks.
Count drinks. Juice, sweet coffee and alcohol all carry calories.

Calorie counting is not for everyone. If it triggers anxiety, guilt about food, or obsessive thoughts, stop and talk to a specialist. ⚠️

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the default daily calorie target?▼

The bot starts at 2000 kcal per day. You can change it with /setdailycalories by passing your own number. A suitable target depends on age, height, weight and activity, so a doctor or dietitian is the best source for it.

How do I log a meal and fix a mistake?▼

Send /log with what you ate and its calories. The bot gives the entry an ID. If you got it wrong, send /unlog with that ID, and /query shows the list for the day.

Does it work in groups, and in what language?▼

Yes, the commands work in group chats too, so you can count calories with friends or a partner. The interface and command descriptions are in English, but there are only a few simple commands to learn.

Does the bot recognize food from a photo or a dish name?▼

No. According to its command descriptions, you enter the calories yourself along with the food. A package label and a kitchen scale help. In return there are no surprises from inaccurate recognition, and every entry stays under your control.
