Even if you think that you’re inactive, you’re not. Install our app and see for yourself how many calories you burned walking to work or running around the block.


It’s super-accurate: Calories Out knows and records how much energy you’re spending when you’re standing, strutting, skipping, jogging or hoofing it; it uses your phone’s bells and whistles and a lot of sophisticated software to ensure your data/results are as accurate as possible.
