Calorie Counter: DietSarge

DietSarge is a calorie counter with a drill sergeant built in. Log a meal in a few taps, get an instant comeback about what you logged and when, earn rank for every day you report, and face a weekly inspection on your real weight trend. Every feature is included, no ads and no account.

YOUR DRILL SERGEANT
• Pick a tone: Mild, Spicy or Spartan. Change it anytime
• A fresh line every time you open the app — morning, lunch, evening, late night
• Log a late-night snack and hear about it. Skip breakfast and hear about that too
• The sergeant only ever comments on logging, timing and excuses — never on your body

RANK, INSPECTION, PENALTY
• Every day you log is a service day. Recruit to Sergeant Major, and rank never goes down
• Weekly inspection judges your smoothed 7-day trend, not a single weigh-in
• Go over your daily rations by 100 kcal or more and the sergeant offers a penalty drill: 15, 30 or 50 squats, once a day, with an easier option. It never earns calories back, and you can refuse
• Excuse button: confess "I was busy" or "starting tomorrow" and get the comeback you deserve
• Share a "today's chewing-out" card — no body photos, no weight numbers

FUTURE YOU
• Choose a photo and slide toward your goal weight. Processed on your phone, never saved or uploaded

LOG A MEAL IN SECONDS
• Your frequent and recent foods are one tap away
• Copy yesterday's breakfast, lunch or dinner in one tap
• Type a whole meal like "2 eggs and toast" and get each item estimated
• Take a photo of your plate for an AI estimate you can check and adjust — corrected portions are remembered
• Scan a barcode for packaged food (Open Food Facts database)
• Calories only, when you just want a number
• Create your own foods and recipes once and reuse them

NUTRITION YOU CAN TRUST
• Built-in public nutrition tables, searchable offline: USDA FoodData Central (United States), the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety database (Korea) and the Standard Tables of Food Composition (Japan)
• 159 everyday foods named in 31 languages with sensible portions (a bowl, a slice, a cup)
• The source is shown on every food
• Calories, carbs, protein, fat, sugars, fiber and sodium

SEE YOUR REAL TREND
• Daily weigh-ins are smoothed into a trend line, so water swings don't fool you
• Weekly change and an honest estimate of when you could reach your goal, based on your last three weeks
• Your real daily burn: after two weeks of logs, DietSarge works out how much you actually burn and lets you use that for your target

INTERMITTENT FASTING TIMER
• 12:12, 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4 or your own length, up to 24 hours
• A notification when the fast reaches its goal, streak counter, history

HEALTHY LIMITS BUILT IN
• Daily targets never go below 1,200 kcal (women), 1,500 kcal (men) or 1,350 kcal, and never below your estimated resting energy
• Weight loss is limited to 1% of your body weight per week
• No weight-loss target under 18 or with a BMI under 18.5, and goal weights below a healthy BMI are flagged
• Safety switch: if you eat below your minimum on most days, if you are under 18, if your BMI is under 18.5 or if you want to gain weight, the sergeant stands down and the app uses a calm tone with a link to free helplines
• Eating over your target is shown as a plain number, never a warning in red

YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
• No account, no ads, no tracking. Your diary is stored only on your phone
• Save a backup file or export a spreadsheet whenever you like
• Optional sergeant voice reads reminders aloud with your phone's own text-to-speech — only in ring mode

GOOD TO KNOW
• Photo and text estimates are sent to our server for the AI model and are not stored. Everything else works offline
• Available in 31 languages, with kg/lb and kcal/kJ units
• DietSarge is a diary with a tough-love tone, not medical advice. If you are pregnant, have diabetes or have had an eating disorder, talk to a doctor before changing how you eat
