03 Questions people ask

Frequently
asked.

Honest answers about the free tier, the cap, and what £3.99/month or £34.99/year actually unlocks.

Is there a free calorie counter app?

Yes. Our free tier includes barcode scanning, the UK food database, and calorie logging for up to 25 foods a day. No ads. NutraSafe Pro is £3.99/month or £34.99/year on iOS if you want unlimited logs, vitamin tracking, AI Coach, workouts and fasting.

What is the best free calorie counter UK?

A good UK free calorie counter reads UK supermarket barcodes, doesn't make you sign up to a paid plan to log a sandwich, and tells you more than the kcal number. Our free tier covers Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl, Co-op and Waitrose, with the additive flag on every scan.

Is MyFitnessPal free in the UK?

MyFitnessPal has a free tier with ads. We don't run ads on the free tier. Detailed nutrition and barcode scanning behave differently between apps, so the practical test is whether your common shop foods scan straight on the free tier.

Does calorie counting help with weight loss?

NHS Better Health treats calorie awareness as part of weight management. Logging shows you where the kcal are actually coming from. Most people use it as a learning tool for a few months, then check in occasionally rather than logging forever.

Does NutraSafe work with UK supermarket products?

Yes. We read any UK barcode (GTIN/EAN), the same format every UK supermarket uses. Branded or own-brand, big shop or local.

What does the AI Coach do?

The AI Coach sees your diary, your reactions, your workouts and your fasting history, and answers questions about your week from that data. It can set goals and draft meal or workout plans you confirm before they save. NutraSafe Pro at £3.99/month or £34.99/year on iOS.

How accurate is calorie counting with an app?

Barcode scanning is the most accurate route because it pulls the numbers straight from the label, which UK food labelling law requires to be within 20%. Weighing portions, logging straight after eating, and using the barcode rather than guessing all improve accuracy.
