Aside from searching an entire database to find the foods you're looking for, Calorie Counter also allows users to scan foods directly from their device's camera using the camera as a barcode scanner. On the one hand you may be thinking, "I can just check the back of the box." However, if you're planning meals based on calorie counts, it makes more sense to save those recipes in the calorie diary found on your device thus allowing you to plan your calorie consumption ahead of time.
Take a look at this screenshot: as you can see, the Food Diary is shown with the calorie intake for each meal, making it easy to keep track of calorie counts for the types of foods that you eat on a daily basis.

Finally, once you find the ingredients or meal you want to eat, you can simply choose how many servings you'll be eating. The serving sizes are a great addition as they don't rely, as some other programs do, on simplistic terms such as weight sizes. Rather, they focus on the actual distribution sizes of the foods. For instance, if you have a box with 12 packets in the box, the screen will tell you the serving size (if it's 1 packet or half a packet). This makes it easier to understand the exact serving size required to hit a certain calorie count.
