Calorie Deficit: Tekort

Calorie tracker & food scanner

Only for iPhone

Free · In‑App Purchases

iPhone

Scan a barcode and Tekort works out what it leaves you for the rest of the day. One number, all day. A food database built by the people using it. Tekort does two things, and only two. ▸ HOW MANY CALORIES CAN I EAT TODAY? Worked out from your age, height, weight and sex, then counted against what you have actually burned and actually eaten. One number, at the top of the screen, all day. ▸ WHAT SHOULD I EAT TO HIT IT? Given what is left of your day and how much protein you still need, Tekort suggests what fits. ▸ SCAN WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU Scan the barcode on a packet and get its numbers back. The food database is built by the people using it, product by product, so the next person who scans that barcode gets your work instead of typing it out again. Labels that lead with kilojoules are converted on the way in. ▸ YOUR MOVEMENT COUNTS Allow Apple Health and what you burn moving is added to what you can eat. Your resting burn is worked out from your age, sex, height and weight with a standard formula. ▸ YOUR MONTH AT A GLANCE Every day coloured by how it went, your weight over time, and how many days you finished where you wanted to. ▸ FIVE LOOKS Signal, Clay, Nocturne, Paper and Sport. Every colour is checked to stay readable. ▸ SEVEN DAYS FREE Then a subscription. Cancel any time in Settings and you keep it to the end of what you have paid for. Tekort is Afrikaans for a shortfall. That is what a deficit is. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://stephanoosthuizen.github.io/tekort/privacy.html

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

▸ Every screen now fits without scrolling. ▸ Your own starred and recent foods come first when you search. ▸ Switch a portion to grams and its weight is filled in, so half is one number. ▸ Apple Health is asked for once, after setup, with a line on why. ▸ A misspelled search now says to check the spelling. ▸ Packets listing alcohol or sugar alcohols can now be added. ▸ The movement heart wears Apple Health's own colours. ▸ Tekort is now for ages 18 and over. Plus clearer words, better VoiceOver and many small fixes.
