How Kalorist Works
Profile & Goal Setup
When you create an account, you fill out your basic details: age, height, weight, gender, activity level. Then you set your goals – losing weight, gaining muscle, improving wellness, etc. Kalorist’s system uses this info to suggest a personalized daily calorie and macronutrient (protein, carbs, fat) target tailored for you.
Food & Exercise Logging
- You log everything you eat (meals, snacks, drinks) in our food diary
- You log your physical activity & workouts, whether they’re simple (like walking) or more intense.
- If you eat out, our menu integration helps you pick from actual restaurants/cafes already in Kalorist’s database – no guessing.
AI Coach (KalCoach) Guidance & Insights
- KalCoach uses your profile, goals, eating history, and logged data to give personalized advice. It can suggest what to eat, when, and how to adjust macros/calories based on your progress.
- It notices patterns: for example, if you’re consistently low on protein, or overeating at dinner, or skipping meals. It gives feedback (“Hey, adding a protein source at breakfast could help you hit your goals.”)
- Has preferences/allergies built in (you tell it if you don’t eat something, or have dietary restrictions), and it adapts.
Smart Recommendations for Eating Out
- Since we’ve integrated many cafe & restaurant menus (e.g. Zender’s and others), you don’t have to estimate. KalCoach helps you choose options from real menus that align with your calorie/macros goals.
- If you pick something off-menu, you log the closest item, and KalCoach helps you adjust the rest of your day to stay on track.
Progress Tracking & Adjustments
- Every week or so, you update your weight (and optionally other metrics like body measurements). Kalorist charts your progress over time.
- Based on how you’re doing (are you losing/gaining/maintaining as expected), KalCoach may suggest tweaking your calorie target or macro ratios.
- Visual dashboards show daily & weekly macros, calories in vs calories out, trends, how often you hit goals, etc.
Habit Building & Behavior Feedback
- Beyond calories/facts, KalCoach also gives feedback on eating habits: consistency, meal timing, frequent snacks, etc.
- Provides nudges or suggestions for improvement (e.g. “You often skip breakfast — a light breakfast might help with your energy mid-morning.”)
Cultural & Local Relevance
- The food database includes local Pakistani foods/restaurants, so what you log is relevant.
- Preferences, dietary restrictions, typical local meals are recognized (we don’t force-you to always pick Western foods).
- The coaching respects your lifestyle, food availability, and cultural norms.
Data Privacy & Security
- All your personal data (body metrics, goals, preferences) is kept private. You control sharing.
- If an organization (like EFU) uses Kalorist, they only see aggregated, anonymous data unless you opt in.
- Third-party integrations (if any) are opt-in.
