Your Move Nutrition – Calorie Calculator, Tracker & Barcode Scanner

Description

Calorie, TDEE and BMI calculators that work without an account, plus a members’ calorie tracker, barcode scanner, Nutrition Facts block, meal plan generator and recipe browser that run on a Your Move API key.

Works out of the box, no account needed:

• Calorie Calculator block – BMR (Mifflin-St Jeor, Harris-Benedict or Katch-McArdle), TDEE, goal calories for losing, maintaining or gaining, and a macro split. Metric and imperial, optional instant results while typing, custom title. Activity multipliers and goals are editable; per block you can hide the unit switch or the goal selector and show BMI alongside the calories.
• Five styles – Classic, iOS, Minimal, Gradient or Neo-brutalist, set for the whole site under Settings or per block. Gradient comes in six palettes (Glacier, Ocean, Slate, Aurora, Mint, Sunset). Classic, iOS and Neo-brutalist take your accent colour, with text contrast handled automatically; Classic also has light, dark, soft and bold schemes.
• Five templates – card, plain, split (live results beside the form), a multi-step wizard, and a chat that asks one question at a time. The chat sits in the page (growing, or at a fixed height that scrolls inside) or floats as a button in the bottom-right corner that opens a chat window: [ymove_calculator layout="chat" chatdisplay="floating" chatlabel="How many calories do I need?"].
• Lead capture – optional or required email capture. Visitors receive a results email; you get a notification, a Leads screen with CSV export, a JSON webhook for Zapier, Make, n8n or your own endpoint, optional Turnstile or reCAPTCHA, and a ymove_calculator_lead action.
• Branded results email – your logo, subject, intro and call-to-action button, with a GDPR consent checkbox in your own wording.
• BMI Calculator block – adult BMI with WHO categories and a healthy weight range.

Both calculators are Gutenberg blocks and shortcodes ([ymove_calculator], [ymove_bmi]), style themselves from your theme, and work on any page.

Connect a Your Move API key and logged-in users also get:

• Calorie Tracker block – a food diary with daily targets, macro bars and a weekly overview. Members add food by searching 1M+ foods (USDA FoodData Central + Open Food Facts), by scanning a barcode with their phone camera, from their recent foods, or – on the Pro plan – by taking a photo of their plate or describing the meal in words.
• Barcode Lookup block – scan a product, see its nutrition label.
• Nutrition Facts block – search a food in the editor and embed an FDA-style label in posts and recipes, with optional NutritionInformation schema.
• Meal Plan Generator block – a 1-7 day plan with recipes, ingredients and method for any calorie target and diet (balanced, high protein, low carb, keto, vegan, vegetarian, mediterranean, paleo). Visitors swap any recipe they don’t like, then save the plan as a PDF or get it by email with every recipe in full; you choose email, PDF, both or neither, and emailed plans become leads. Members add meals straight to their diary. You can open it to visitors as a lead magnet, rate-limited per IP.
• Recipes block – embed any of thousands of recipes in a post with per-serving nutrition, ingredients, method and Google recipe markup (schema.org Recipe), or drop in a recipe browser visitors can search by keyword, meal, diet and calories. Members add a recipe to their diary in one tap. Powered by the Your Move Recipe API.

The tracker is built for coaches, gyms and creators who already run memberships on WordPress: put the block on a members-only page and it works with MemberPress, Paid Memberships Pro, WooCommerce Memberships or any plugin that restricts pages. A Nutrition logs screen under Users lets coaches see how their members are doing.

Why a key?

Food data, barcode coverage for 180+ countries, recipes and AI meal recognition come from the Your Move Nutrition API. One key covers your whole site. Basic covers food search and barcodes; Pro adds AI photo and text logging. Current prices are on the Your Move Nutrition API page. The calculators never need a key.

Built to protect your quota

Your key is stored encrypted with your site’s salts (or set in wp-config.php) and used only server-side. Lookups are cached (barcodes for 30 days, searches for a day), and every member has hourly and daily limits you control, so a curious member cannot run up your bill.

Lead capture

Gate the calculator behind an email address and every visitor who wants their number becomes a lead, with the numbers already in your inbox and theirs. Point the results email’s button at your booking page, forward each lead through the webhook to your CRM, and follow up knowing their goal and target calories.

Developer friendly

• ymove_user_can_track filter – tie tracker access to a membership level in one line.
• ymove_show_source_links filter, ymove_calculator_lead action, ymove_lead_email filter (structured results email) and ymove_email_html filter (HTML of mail sent through wp_mail).
• define( 'YMOVE_API_KEY', '...' ) in wp-config.php.
• All routes under /wp-json/ymove/v1/, custom tables, WordPress privacy exporter and eraser included.

External services

This plugin connects to the Your Move Nutrition API at https://exercise-api.ymove.app when a site owner has entered an API key. The calculators never contact it.

What is sent, and when:

• Food search – the search text and the site’s country setting, when a member or editor searches for a food.
• Food details – the id of a food, when a Nutrition Facts block or diary entry needs the full nutrient list and it is not in the local cache.
• Barcode lookup – the barcode digits and the country setting, when a member scans or types a barcode.
• AI photo logging (Pro) – the meal photo, resized in the browser, when a member chooses to analyse a photo. Members confirm a consent notice the first time. Photos are analysed and not stored by this plugin.
• AI text logging (Pro) – the meal description a member typed.
• Meal plan generation – the calorie target, diet, meals per day, days and macro focus chosen in the form. No personal data.
• Meal swap – the meal type, diet and calorie range of the meal being replaced, when a visitor swaps one recipe in a meal plan.
• Recipes – the search text and filters (meal, diet, calories) a visitor picks, or the recipe chosen in the editor. No personal data. Recipe images load from the image URL the API returns (currently ymove-recipes.b-cdn.net).
• Usage check – no personal data; fetches the plan and quota for the settings screen.
• Calculator results and meal plan emails are sent by your own WordPress (wp_mail), not by Your Move; the address is stored as a lead in your database. The optional webhook posts leads only to the URL you enter.
• Spam protection (optional, off by default) – if you enable Cloudflare Turnstile or Google reCAPTCHA v3 under Settings, their script loads from challenges.cloudflare.com or www.google.com/recaptcha on pages with an email form, and when a visitor submits the form the plugin sends the captcha token and the visitor’s IP address to the provider for verification. Cloudflare: https://www.cloudflare.com/website-terms/ and https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/. Google: https://policies.google.com/terms and https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Every request to the Your Move Nutrition API carries your API key and a User-Agent with the plugin version, WordPress version, PHP version and a hash of the site URL (not the URL itself) so Your Move can count active installations.

The calorie and BMI calculators always show a “Calorie formula explained” / “How BMI is calculated” link to a page on ymove.app describing the formulas, so visitors can see how a health estimate was worked out. The data-source lines under the other blocks (naming USDA FoodData Central, Open Food Facts and the Your Move Nutrition API or Your Move Recipe API) and the small “Nutrition API by Your Move” / “Recipe API by Your Move” credit are off by default; you can switch them on under Settings > Your Move Nutrition > Links and credit. No other external requests are made. No tracking scripts are loaded.
