AI Calorie Counter: ParrotPal

I’ve been using Parrot Pal for almost a week now through the 7-day free trial, and I can already tell this app is something special. What really stands out to me are the daily podcasts and encouraging messages - they’ve become the part of my day I actually look forward to! It’s like having a little cheerleader in my pocket reminding me I’m capable, even on the tough days. The app doesn’t just focus on weight loss, it genuinely cares about your mindset and overall well-being. That’s something I’ve been missing with other apps. I feel more motivated, more mindful, and surprisingly excited to keep going, which is not something I usually say a few days into trying something new. Even though it’s only been a week, Parrot Pal is already helping me shift my perspective and build healthier habits in a really kind, non-judgmental way. I can’t wait to see where this takes me, and I’m seriously considering continuing beyond the trial. Highly recommend giving it a try if you want something that supports both your body and your mindset.

Seriously the best app for tracking calories. It makes it so simple with voice to text or taking a picture of your food and honestly it’s been super accurate for me. It’s a game changer because it’s so easy to track the food, I do it consistently which I know will result in weight loss. It’s fun and quite impressive. I feel better already and love the homescreen widget too so I can quickly have a glance at my totals including calorie & protein intake. Using other calorie counter apps (like MFP) I thought there had to be an easier way that didn’t take so much time. There is! It’s here! It’s ParrotPal! You can track your entire day in one minute. Plus his short podcasts are so helpful and informative AND there is a recipe library that are healthy and simple. Fully worth the money. Do yourself a favor and download this app now if you want to consistently and easily track your caloric intake for weight loss. I have told all my family & friends because I’m a huge fan and want others to benefit from it.

it kept getting the calorie and protein counts wrong. I was trying to enter the food I’d had for today by going through my current calorie tracking app and texting it into this app. Every entry I did it got the nutritional info incorrect, and on my current app the nutritional info is straight from the foods nutritional label, so my current app has the right info. I think maybe I eat too many weird diety foods and maybe they’re just too specific. This app probably works great if you eat non-specific regular food? For example I was trying to log my Mission zero net carb tortillas, which have a very different calorie count compared to regular tortillas, and it would recognize it as just regular tortillas and the calories were double what they should be. I was able to tell it the correct calorie count and it did update it to reflect that, but this created a separate entry so now I had entered two different entries, and, what if I hadn’t known that the calories were incorrect? I’d be thinking I’m eating way more than I actually am. This was enough for me to give up on the free trial, but I do think it’s a fantastic idea and I really look forward to its evolution. I may try it again in the future when there have been some updates and developments with it. You’ve definitely got a borderline genius idea on your hands here and you’re probably going to get really far with it, especially if you keep listening to people’s feedback and updating with that in mind.
