Nice and colourful! The yogurt adds protein and calcium too.

A tree, not a toolkit
Philogaia grows from one root — and only forms the branches there is a real reason for.
The root
Ernährungsberatung Gaia
Nese Can-Erenoglu guides people personally towards eating that fits their life — holding the B-licence of the Akademie für Sport und Gesundheit and following the recommendations of the German Nutrition Society (DGE). Everything Philogaia does comes from here.
The trunk
What we hold on to
No crash diets, no expensive special products, no cure claims. Instead the conviction that eating well usually starts with what is already in your fridge — and that people can learn it, step by step, at their own pace.
The branches
What has grown from it
A branch forms when there is a genuine need — not because a market happens to look attractive.
- Philogaia AppOn the App Store
The counselling idea for every day: log your meal, understand your day, take the next step.
- Philogaia CounsellingAvailable via Gaia
Personal guidance from a real human being. Today directly through Ernährungsberatung Gaia — later as the Exclusive plan with a fixed monthly meeting.
- Philogaia EssentialsStill growing
Supplements only where food alone falls short: transparent formulation, European manufacturing — and a clear word when you do not need them at all.

Log your meal
Photograph your food or type it in briefly. The AI estimates calories, macros and micronutrients — you can correct it with one tap.
See your day
Nutrition score, activity score and the energy balance show you at a glance where you currently stand.
Take the next step
Your coach names the one thing that still helps today — concrete, doable, no rigid programme.
How you notice there are people behind this
Four things that set us apart from a calorie counter
Guiding, not grading
We don’t tell you what you did wrong. We tell you what helps now — and what will be easier next time.
Small steps, not crash diets
Anything you can only keep up for four weeks is pointless. We work with changes that settle into your everyday life and stay there.
Food first, supplements second
Real food comes first. We only suggest supplements when your data genuinely calls for it — and say so when it doesn’t.
Understanding, not just tracking
Every piece of feedback explains why it appears. Our goal is that one day you won’t need an app to make good decisions.
Why you can trust us
Health is no place for vague promises

Your health data stays in the EU, encrypted and deletable at any time. GDPR is our foundation, not a formality.
Certified counselling
Behind Philogaia stands a certified nutrition consultant (B-licence, Akademie für Sport und Gesundheit), recognised by the German association of prevention specialists.
Made in Brandenburg
Built and operated in Germany — for everyday life here, with the foods that actually end up on the table.
Frequently asked questions
What is Philogaia?
Philogaia is a nutrition companion for iPhone that grew out of the Gaia nutrition counselling practice. You log your food by photo, text or barcode and see what your day is still missing — based on the reference values of the German Nutrition Society (DGE).
How much does Philogaia cost?
Downloading the app and logging food are free. For more guidance there are the Plus and Premium subscriptions in the app, and, as an add-on to Premium, Exclusive: a personal video call with a nutritionist, booked on the website. All prices are on the pricing page. Every account starts with a 7-day free trial.
Who is behind Philogaia?
Philogaia belongs to Philogaia UG in Schönefeld near Berlin. Its expertise comes from Nese Can-Erenoglu, a nutrition counsellor with a B licence from the Akademie für Sport und Gesundheit, who personally supports clients at the Gaia nutrition practice.
Is Philogaia a diet app?
No. Philogaia forbids nothing and never labels food as bad. The app shows what your day is still missing — such as protein, fibre or water — and suggests one doable next step.
Do I need a smartwatch?
No. Everything important works without a watch or ring. If you like, Philogaia reads steps and energy burned from Apple Health.
Which languages does Philogaia support?
German, English and Turkish — with dishes from both German and Turkish cooking.
What happens to my data?
Your data and photos are stored on servers in the EU. Philogaia shows no ads and uses no third-party analytics. You can delete your account and all your data in the app at any time.
