Qalzy: World’s First AI Scale to Auto-Count Calories

Before founding Qalzy, we started like most people do—phone in one hand, food scale in the other. One of us wanted to lose weight, the other to bulk. Different goals, same pain: tracking our food was slow, clunky, and wildly inaccurate.
We had to weigh everything. Search every ingredient. Type with dirty hands. Guess macros. Try five different apps. And even then, we weren’t sure we got it right.

Some days, we skipped logging altogether. Other days, we gave up halfway through a meal. It was exhausting.

That’s when we realized:
Tracking only works when it’s easy, fast, and accurate.

And that’s exactly what Qalzy does.

Qalzy’s OpenAI-powered camera instantly recognizes raw, cooked or packaged foods and automatically logs their calories, macros, vitamins and minerals, all in just a tap.
Just place your food on Qalzy, press a button, and you’re done.

The built-in camera captures what’s on your plate. Powered by OpenAI, the AI instantly identifies each ingredient with world-class accuracy, while the precision scale measures the weight down to the gram. 

Then, Qalzy matches everything to a verified database of over 2.9 million foods from sources like USDA and CoFID, calculating your calories and macros automatically. Within seconds, your meal is logged and sent to the app over Wi-Fi. You don’t need to use your phone while cooking or type with dirty hands. When you’re ready, you’ll find it already there in the app. 

No typing. No searching. Just tap, track, and move on. 

Forget searching through messy food databases or manually typing every bite. With Qalzy, all it takes is a single tap. That’s 5x faster than using a typical app – and 100x easier to stick with. The built-in camera recognizes entire meals or individual ingredients, the scale measures it down to the gram, and the app does the math – automatically logging calories, macros, vitamins and minerals in under 4 seconds.

Just place your food on the Qalzy scale, and it will automatically identify, weigh and log the right ingredients with its camera. No typing, no researching to log. Just one press of a button and everything is waiting on your phone. Review on your own time.

Most AI calorie counting apps guess your food’s weight. Qalzy doesn’t. It weighs your food with gram-level precision and matches it against a verified database of over 2,9 million food items. 
That means no crowdsourced macros, no rough weight estimates – just real, reliable data so you can finally track with confidence and see real results. Qalzy supports both Metric (g/kg) and Imperial (oz/lb) units, so you can track your meals in the format that works best for you.

You won’t always be in your kitchen – but your goals don’t take a day off. That’s why the Qalzy app works even without the scale. Snap a photo, scan a barcode – and it logs everything. The best part? You get the full experience. No locked features. No surprise charges. Just one smart app that respects your investment as much as your time.

Whether it’s a salad you made at home, a protein bar from the store, or last night’s leftover pasta, Qalzy knows what’s in your meal.

Using its built-in camera and smart AI, it can identify multiple ingredients at once, read nutrition labels, and adjust for portion sizes. You can scan each ingredient sequentially, on the same plate, giving you 100% certainty about its weight without the hassle. Qalzy is smart enough to know that you’ve added a new ingredient and only calculates its calories.

If you’re feeling lazy, or simply in a rush, Qalzy identifies and logs separate ingredients on your plate in one go. It uses the total weight of your meal to estimate the weight of each ingredient in it. Still 30% more accurate than just snapping a photo on your phone without weighing.

Not everything on your plate ends up in your body – and Qalzy knows that. When scanning foods with inedible parts, like chicken wings or fish with bones, Qalzy’s AI doesn’t just log the total weight. It intelligently estimates the edible portion based on typical consumption patterns and nutritional databases, so your calorie and macro tracking reflects what you actually eat – not just what you serve. Another way Qalzy makes calorie tracking more accurate, with zero extra effort from you.

Qalzy doesn’t just recognize food – it remembers it.
The more meals you log, the more it adapts to your habits. Favorite snacks, go-to breakfast, signature recipes? Qalzy remembers what you used last time and learns how to identify new recipes instantly – it then uses the exact ingredient amounts in your recipe for accurate tracking.

Add your own recipe to the database.

• Using the scale, scan each ingredient that goes into your recipe. 
• Using the app, select your ingredients and add them to your recipe.
• Enter name, cooked weight and even the number of servings, if you wish.

Next time you track the same meal, it’s smart enough to use your own recipe as opposed to the generic one found in the food database.

That means less time adjusting, more time eating, and a system that gets more intuitive every time you use it.

Qalzy makes food tracking so easy, you’ll actually stick with it. By removing the hassle of typing, searching, or second-guessing, Qalzy helps you track consistently, one of the biggest predictors of health goal success. With just a press of a button, your meals are logged automatically, making healthy habits effortless and long-lasting.

Nobody’s counting calories just for fun. Your food choices depend on what you do -how much you move, rest, or recover. That’s why Qalzy syncs with Apple Health and Google Health Connect. It pulls in your exercise data, adjusts your calorie targets, and syncs everything back across your apps. You get one clear, connected view of your health – no jumping between tools, saving you time and energy to achieve more.

Think of Qalzy as your personal coach – always watching out for your progress and adjusting to your lifestyle. It’s not just about logging meals. It’s about making sense of your health, one smart feature at a time.

Lighting conditions can affect food recognition accuracy. That’s why Qalzy is equipped with a kitchen-safe LED flash that ensures clear, high-quality images – even in dim lighting. Perfect for when you’re prepping a late-night snack.

We built Qalzy for people like us – trying to eat better, stay consistent, and stop stressing over every bite. Qalzy makes a difference for you if you are:

Hey, we’re Kostas and Michael – co-founders of Qalzy.

Before we built this, we were just two guys trying to get healthier. One of us was trying to lose weight after becoming a dad. The other was working on building muscle. We were serious about food tracking because we knew it worked. But doing it every day? That part sucked.

We tried every app. Weighed every ingredient. Typed every bite.
But logging a single homemade meal could take 15 minutes. And if you forgot to add the olive oil or that one snack? Your numbers were off. Every day started to feel like a math test.

We thought: there has to be a better way.

There wasn’t. So we built it.

We’ve both worked in tech for years – ex-Microsoft, ex-startup founders, AI nerds to the core. In 2019, we even built an AI stylist that outperformed humans at London Fashion Week. But this time, we weren’t building for the runway. We were building for our own kitchens.

We wanted a scale that could see what you’re eating, weigh it, and log it without the typing, guessing, or giving up.
The first time we pressed that button and watched it work, we knew: this was it.
Qalzy changed how we track food. Now we want it to help you, too.

Thanks for being here,
Kostas & Michael
