The founder

Volumeal is founded and developed by Can Ozmen, an independent developer and maker based in France. After years of using calorie counters that show an ’exact’ number down to the gram — and therefore necessarily wrong — he built Volumeal around one simple idea: estimating from a photo always carries a margin, so own it with an honest range instead of hiding it behind a single fake figure.

Can leads the product, the design and the site content directly. Every calculator and health page is grounded in verifiable official sources — see our method.

Why Volumeal exists

Most calorie apps display a single, precise, reassuring number. The problem: no one can know a plate’s calories to the gram from a simple photo. Volumeal takes the opposite bet — showing a confidence range and a trend over time. It’s both more honest and more useful for tracking your weight, without obsessing over a decimal that means nothing.

How we work

We don’t publish invented statistics or studies. Our values and calculations rely on public databases and established scientific formulas, cited and linked:

Our sources
Food values — public reference tables: ANSES Ciqual (France) and USDA FoodData Central.
Goal calculation — metabolism: Mifflin-St Jeor ; activity: FAO/WHO/UNU ; protein: ISSN.

What Volumeal is not

Volumeal is not a medical device. Estimates are informational, carry a margin of error (shown as a range) and do not replace advice from a healthcare professional. For any medical need, pregnancy, breastfeeding, a child or a specific condition, consult a professional.

The company & contact

Volumeal is published by a small independent team, in France. The app is funded by an optional subscription and advertising — never by selling your data. A question, a correction, a press partnership? Reach us at [email protected]. Legal details in the privacy policy and terms.
