Take the photo
Tap the add button and choose Photo. Point the camera at your plate and shoot, or pick an existing picture from your gallery. You can zoom and turn on the flash before you shoot; once you take the photo, the analysis starts right away. If nothing edible was found, you'll get the option to take another photo.
Photo logging needs an internet connection — if you're offline, the screen tells you right away. You can still log the meal by searching your recent and saved foods instead.
Two sibling modes live on this screen: Describe (several photos plus your own words, for complex meals) and, if you've enabled it, quick photo logging (skip the review entirely).
Review what was detected
The results screen lists everything found in the photo. Simple items appear on their own; a full dish appears as one meal you can expand to see its ingredients. Each row fills in as it's matched against the food database, and the card at the top keeps a running total of calories, protein, carbs, and fat.
Nothing is saved yet — this screen exists so you can check the result before it goes into your diary.
Fix a food that didn't match
If a detected food couldn't be matched automatically, its row says Needs match. Tap it to search the database and pick the right food yourself. You can also:
- tap any matched row to adjust the amount or change the unit;
- remove an ingredient that isn't on your plate;
- add an ingredient the photo missed.
Save it to your diary
Pick the time and date the meal belongs to, then confirm. The photo is kept with the entry, and a meal with several foods is grouped into a single card in your journal — expand it any time to see or edit each item.
How accurate is it?
Photo analysis produces estimates. It's a fast starting point, not a measurement — portion sizes especially are educated guesses, and you can correct any number before or after saving. Never rely on it for allergens or other safety-critical information; check the product label.
