The author tried out several AI-powered calorie counting apps expecting some hiccups, but found them shockingly inaccurate—sometimes wildly off the mark. They describe frustration with misleading data, glitchy tracking, and a general sense that these tools aren’t ready to replace human judgment (or even basic math).

Editor’s Note: Calorie counting apps are supposed to make dieting easier, but if the tech can’t even get basic numbers right, it’s worse than useless—it could actually mislead people trying to manage their health. This isn’t just a "meh" review; it’s a warning that flashy AI features don’t always translate to real-world reliability.
