Calorific is a new and simple approach to tracking & improving your diet. It’s focused on changing your eating habits, instead of providing a calorie count.
Typical calorie counters require lots of work, and it’s hard to use them long enough for them to work. They look precise, but it’s an illusion -- portion sizes are hard to measure and everyone's body is very different every day. Face it, for most food you are eating, you already know it’s bad. What you need is accountability.
Calorific uses the three-color traffic light system to keep you aware and accountable. Just classify your food into Great (green), OK (yellow), Bad (red) categories and off you go. Eat an apple, and you log a green. A coke or candy is red. Not sure what color or size? Then look it up in our Food Search. As soon as you’ve logged a meal, Calorific will give your day a star rating -- use this to improve your next meal.
So easy, but does it work? Study after study shows that simple logging works better. Simple logging helps you be consistent, which teaches you better habits. Sure, you might log something wrong, but it’s all about awareness and actual changes. Over time, as you learn more about the categories, you learn to eat better instead of being dependent on an app. This approach is inspired by the GI Diet and Dean Ornish’s Spectrum, two research-proven dietary methods.
Here are some features:
* Instant Food Search -- it shows you the food as you type them, plus groups similar foods together. Try searching for “Apple” -- instead of getting 20 different types of Apples, you get varied apple foods.
* Five-Star Rating -- instant feedback to tell you how healthy your meals are
* Your Ratio vs. Ideal Ratio -- contrast your food intake with the ideal, and work to improve your diet. The food colors are based on nutrition research, and
* More Info section for each category teaches you about food -- select this after searching for food.
* Water Tracking -- helps you log how many cups you drink per day
Let's face it: calorie counting is hard.
Healthier eating is easy, and Calorific can help you do that.

By Leanna Lofte, Saturday, Sep 17, 2011 | Every week a few of us from team TiPb will bring you our current favorite, most fun and useful App Store apps, WebApps, jailbreak apps, even the occasional accessory, web site, or desktop app if the mood strikes us. As long as they’re iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch related, they’re fair game. To see what we picked, and to tell us your pick, follow on after the break! I love Amazon. I visit the site multiple times a day, whether to order things for my home or the office, or just to browse and do some product research. I’m also an Amazon Prime member, which only fuels my compulsion even more, allowing for free 2-day shipping of almost anything. As a fully-grown child with instant gratification issues when it comes to purchases, Prime can’t be beat. But mostly, I like being able to

WorkSmart Labs already makes some of the most successful health and fitness apps for the Android platform, with a total of 7 million users gained over three years. Now one of those apps, Calorific, has finally made its way to the iOS platform. Calorific, as the name suggests, is an app that lets you log what you’re eating. That immediately puts it in competition with some pretty strong food diary apps on the iPhone and iPad, such as Lose It! and Livestrong Calorie tracker. But as anyone who has used those apps for any length of time can tell you, using them long-term means making a significant commitment. To do it right, you need to weigh or measure your food, look it up in a vast and incomplete database of food, and figure out the precise number of calories. Personally, I’ve lost a fair number of pounds using Lose It! —

WorkSmart Labs, which makes some of the most-loved Android fitness and wellness apps, is appearing on iOS for the first time with the launch today of its app Calorific Lite. Calorific Lite tries to improve users’ diets without calorie counting, taking pictures of or weighing food, typing in portions, or really doing anything that requires a lot of effort. Rather, each time a user eats, they log food into red, yellow and green categories, based on its approximate healthiness. That may seem a little odd, but WorkSmart thinks the point is to make logging as simple as possible so people stick with it. WorkSmart also makes some nifty activity logging apps, but to date they have been Android-only. In total, the company has more than seven million users. WorkSmart recently announced it had raised seed funding from Kleiner Perkins’ iFund, and now it is further disclosing that the total amount of the
