Logging your first meal
Logging a meal takes seconds. Point your camera at the plate and the AI identifies what's on it. That works for homemade food, restaurant plates, fast food, international cuisine, and even a partially eaten plate.
Review the breakdown
After the scan you get a complete nutritional profile: calories, protein, carbs, fats, and 20+ micronutrients like iron, vitamin D, and calcium. Meals slot into breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, or beverages, and your daily totals update automatically. The dashboard shows what you've eaten, what's remaining against your calorie and macro targets, and how your trends look over time.
Answer the portion question
After the photo, the app asks one quick question: does the portion size look right? Don't skip it. In our 412-meal accuracy test, confirming the portion took calorie estimates from within 11% of the kitchen scale to within 10%. That improves accuracy for a few seconds of work.
If the AI reads a meal differently than you expected, add one or two words of context. That's usually all it needs to correct itself.
Other ways to log
- Text description: type what you ate in plain language
- Nutrition label scan: scan the nutrition facts label on packaged food
- Favorites: the AI remembers your patterns, so repeated meals surface automatically
Photos are the fastest method, and any of these gets the meal logged. The label scan is especially handy for packaged food, where the printed nutrition facts are the most precise source there is. Use whatever fits the moment.
