Auto-calculated calorie target
A moderate or aggressive deficit based on your pace, recalibrated when your weight changes. No spreadsheet to maintain.
Daizu calculates your calorie deficit (300 to 500 kcal below your TDEE depending on your pace), generates filling menus that hold that deficit without food bans, and preserves protein intake (≥ 1.6 g/kg) to limit muscle loss. The photo scan logs off-plan meals in 3 seconds — far more sustainable than hand-entering MyFitnessPal over several months.
Logging every food by hand in a tracking app is mistake number one: 80% of MyFitnessPal users quit within the first 6 months. The friction of logging every meal always kills consistency, and without consistency there is no measurable deficit.
Restrictive diets (no carbs, no fat, strict fasting) work for a few weeks then break: your body adapts, your willpower cracks, and the rebound after the diet is usually larger than the weight lost. The yo-yo effect is documented and costs more in muscle than in fat.
Without a preserved protein target, a calorie deficit loses muscle as well as fat. Result: you weigh less but your metabolism drops, and the slightest return to eating shows up as fat regained faster than before.
You enter your weight, height, activity level, and target pace (moderate loss of 300 kcal/day ≈ 1.2 kg/month, more aggressive 500 kcal/day ≈ 2 kg/month). Daizu calibrates the nutrition program to that target, with protein preserved to spare muscle mass.
For inevitable off-plan meals (a restaurant, a birthday, a night out), the photo scan covers it in 3 seconds: Daizu estimates the calories and adds them to the day’s total. You can regenerate the meals that follow to stay close to your target, without guilt.
No food is forbidden. Recipes are filling (protein density and fiber) and varied. The program’s shopping list limits the impulse buys that quietly sabotage the deficit.

≥ 1.6 g/kg by default to limit muscle loss during the deficit.
Restaurant, night out, improvised dish — one photo and it is counted. Up to 200 scans a day included in the subscription.
Protein density plus fiber so you can hold the deficit without being hungry all day.
Log your weigh-ins and see the trajectory — program vs. actual, without a daily obsession.
Pizza, dessert, drinks — everything stays possible if it fits the target. A lasting plan, not a restrictive diet.
Everything about your personalized plan.
With a moderate deficit (300 kcal/day), expect ≈ 0.3 kg/week, or 1.2 kg/month. With a larger deficit (500 kcal/day), ≈ 0.5 kg/week, or 2 kg/month. Beyond 1% of your body weight per week, the risk of losing muscle rises sharply — Daizu blocks unreasonable targets.
No. Daizu is a nutrition-program tool for healthy adults who want to manage their weight on their own. In case of a medical condition (diabetes, eating disorders, pregnancy, post-bariatric surgery), care from a health professional remains essential and takes priority over the app.
You log what you ate (by photo or as a program meal) and pick up at the next meal — no broken streak and no guilt message. Weight loss is decided by the monthly average, not by one isolated weekend.
For Daizu dishes cooked at home, accuracy matches the recipes (weighed ingredients). For photo scans of off-plan meals, the margin is ±15–20% depending on light and angle. Enough to steer a 300–500 kcal deficit over time; add a scale if you need medical-grade precision.
