How to play Guess Calories
- See the food
Read today's item and look at the picture.
- Guess
Enter your calorie guess.
- Read the emoji
From freezing to burning hot, with an arrow for higher or lower. Land within 10% in three tries to win.
Heat scale
- Freezing: Far off
- Warm: Getting there
- Spicy: Getting close
- Burning: Just a bit off
- Target: Perfect hit
Three tries is not many
Use your first guess to set a range, not to win. Pick a round number you are fairly sure is in the right area. The arrow and heat then tell you which side you are on, and your second guess can split the difference.
Guess Calories tips
- Think about portion size first. A whole dish and one slice are very different.
- Fried foods and sauces add more than most people expect.
- Tap the food name to see where the number comes from.
- A 10% window is wider on big numbers. On a 1,000 calorie meal you can be 100 off and still win.
