Food & nutrition

Log a meal your way

Search, scan, or describe—then check the details.

Search and choose

Search for a food and select the closest match. Food names can look similar, so confirm the brand and serving basis when available.

Get the portion right

Check whether the nutrition is shown per serving, per unit, or by weight. Adjust the amount to what you actually ate before saving.

Use a barcode

Use the barcode option when adding a food. On a compatible iPhone, allow camera access to scan a supported barcode. Manual barcode entry is an alternative; not every product has a matching record.

Review and correct

Inspect calories and macros, and edit or remove incorrect ingredients. Food database values and AI estimates can differ from a package label. Use the current product label to resolve discrepancies.
