Question 1

Is Thrylo a free calorie calculator and tracker?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Thrylo is completely free to download and use on iOS. Unlike MyFitnessPal Premium or other paid calorie trackers, we don't charge for macro tracking, micronutrient data, or food analysis. Use our free calorie calculator, TDEE calculator, BMR calculator, and all tracking features at no cost.

Question 2

Is Thrylo better than MyFitnessPal for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Thrylo uses AI to ask clarifying questions before logging, achieving 99% accuracy vs MyFitnessPal's database guesswork. You can also 'brain dump' your entire day in one message instead of logging each meal separately. Plus, macro and micronutrient tracking is free (MyFitnessPal charges $10/month for Premium). For weight loss, our calorie deficit calculator and personalized insights help you lose weight faster.

Question 3

Can I use Thrylo as a calorie calculator for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Thrylo includes free weight loss calculators for TDEE, BMR, calorie deficit, and macro ratios. Calculate exactly how many calories to eat to lose weight. But unlike standalone calculators, Thrylo also tracks your daily food intake automatically with photo and voice recognition, helping you stay on track with your weight loss goals.

Question 4

Does Thrylo track macros and nutrition for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Thrylo is the best free macro tracking app. We automatically track protein, carbs, and fats with every meal you log. For keto dieters, we show net carbs and track your macro ratios. We also track 20+ vitamins and minerals, plus caffeine content - all completely free. No premium subscription required like other nutrition tracker apps.

Question 5

How accurate is AI calorie tracking compared to weighing food?

Accepted Answer

Thrylo combines AI vision recognition with conversational clarification. When you snap a photo, our AI identifies the food and then asks follow-up questions about preparation methods, portion sizes, and ingredients. This two-step process achieves 99% accuracy - comparable to manual weighing, but 10x faster. It's the most accurate food tracking app available.

Question 6

What makes Thrylo the best food tracking app?

Accepted Answer

Traditional food trackers make you search databases and guess portions. Thrylo uses AI to ask clarifying questions - just like a real nutritionist would. Track food by photo, voice, or text. You can also 'brain dump' your entire day in one message instead of logging each meal separately. It's the difference between filling out a spreadsheet and having a conversation.

Question 7

Does Thrylo work for intermittent fasting and keto diets?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Thrylo automatically tracks all macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats) with detailed breakdowns. For keto dieters, we show net carbs and track your macro ratios. For intermittent fasting, our timeline view shows when you ate and calculates your fasting windows. You can set custom goals for any diet plan.

Question 8

Is my nutrition data private and secure?

Accepted Answer

Your health data never leaves your device unless you explicitly sync to cloud backup. We use end-to-end encryption, and we never sell your data to third parties. You can export or delete your data anytime. Privacy isn't a feature - it's our foundation.

Question 9

Do I need to take photos of every meal?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! Thrylo offers four input methods: photos, voice notes, text descriptions, and barcode scanning. Choose whatever feels natural. Many users prefer typing 'had chicken and rice for lunch' - our AI understands context and asks relevant follow-ups. It's the most flexible meal tracker app available.
