I'd love to use this on Android. I could never get into habit of using food tracking apps, this looks very fast and elegant.

Even this article says that...

> it is true that if you eat vastly fewer calories than you burn, you’ll get slimmer (and if you consume far more, you’ll get fatter)

There is no escaping that axiom I’m afraid.

Agreed. There’s also little chance this app is meaningfully accurate.

There is 0 chance of that. Unless you only eat raw things like apples or bananas.
