Tavo: Maintenance Calories

Most calorie apps guess your maintenance from a formula — your age, your height, your weight, an "activity level" you picked off a dropdown. Then they hand you a number and never revisit it. Tavo works the other way round. It reads your real maintenance from what actually happened: what you ate, and how your weight actually moved. HOW IT FINDS YOUR NUMBER Tavo fits a trend line through every weigh-in, compares the weight change it predicted against the weight change you actually had, and adjusts your maintenance from the gap. It does this on a rolling window, not on the calendar — so it starts giving you a read as soon as it has enough days, and keeps sharpening it every time you log and weigh. Move house, change jobs, start walking more: your number moves with you, without you telling it anything. IT SHOWS ITS WORKING Tap the recalibration and the whole calculation opens up — the trend line, predicted versus actual, what moved and why, how confident it is. No black box. If you disagree with the number, you can see exactly where it came from and pin your own instead. WHERE THE NUMBERS COME FROM Every food carries its source. Indian foods are read from India's own food composition tables, not converted from American data. Where India hasn't measured something, Tavo says so and tells you whose number it's using. Packaged foods are read off the manufacturer's own published label — thousands of them, from Amul and Britannia to Domino's and Costa. Restaurant and brand items come from what the brand itself publishes, not from a stranger's guess in a crowdsourced database. BUILT FOR HOW INDIANS ACTUALLY EAT A katori, not "one serving". Dal, sabzi, roti, dosa, chilla, paneer, poha, khichdi — in the portions people actually serve. Your dal already has a tadka in it, and Tavo counts it. Nobody's chai is the same, so yours is calculated from what you actually put in it, not from an average cup. Dishes are computed from their ingredients, so the numbers hold up when your kitchen doesn't match a recipe book. OPTIONAL AI Photograph a nutrition label and Tavo reads it. Photograph a plate and it estimates it. Both optional, both free within a daily allowance. Bring your own API key if you'd rather. YOUR DIARY STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. No cloud. Your food log, your weights and everything Tavo calculates from them live in your phone's storage and are never transmitted. There is no server holding your diary, which means nobody — including us — can read it. Back it up yourself to an encrypted file whenever you want. FREE No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases, nothing behind a paywall. Tavo is a food and weight diary — a calorie counter and macro tracker that works out your own maintenance instead of guessing it. It doesn't diagnose, treat or give medical advice.
