👋 About Daily Calorie Check
Hi, I’m Sahila — a yoga and Pilates teacher passionate about fitness and mindful movement. I created Daily Calorie Check because I wanted a free, web-based calorie tracker that didn’t take up storage space on my phone and could work with voice input instead of typing. The tool uses verified data from the USDA FoodData Central database to make calorie tracking simple, accurate, and effortless for everyone.
