How it works

Open Log food and choose Search, Scan, Quick, Library or Describe. Add foods to the tray, review the portions, then log them together.

Meal photos and descriptions are estimated by Google's Gemini AI. The first time you use one, the app asks your permission. Estimates are a starting point: check the ingredients and portions and change anything before you log. Search, barcode and typed numbers don't use AI.

Check an estimate before you log it

Adjust the ingredients and portion
Tap Show ingredients to see what the estimate is made of. Remove anything that wasn't there and change the serving. The numbers update as you go.

Type in the numbers

Know the numbers already? The Quick tab takes a name, calories, protein, fat, carbs and alcohol. If your macros don't add up to your calories, it tells you.

Manage your day

The bars at the top compare your logged calories and macros (protein, carbs and fat) with today's targets.

Change an entry: tap it. Remove it: swipe left. Several at once: press and hold an entry to select more, then edit, copy, move or remove them.

Copy a day: tap ⋯ › Copy from a day… to repeat meals you eat often.

Water, supplements and notes sit below your food. Your coach and your check-in can read your notes.

Your foods and recipes

Save foods you make yourself and build recipes from ingredients, from a logged day, or from a photo of the dish. They show up in the Library tab of Log food. Manage them in Settings › My foods and My recipes.

Tap the chart icon on Nutrition to see weekly, monthly or yearly averages. You can also view fiber, sodium, sugars, vitamins and minerals when that information is available. Days without food logs are excluded from averages.

Questions

They're estimates. Portion size is the hardest part to judge from a photo. Check the ingredients and serving before you log, and use a barcode or search when you can.

They're sent to Google's Gemini AI through our servers for the estimate, and a copy is kept with your account. Google doesn't use them to train its models.

Yes. Choose Not now when asked, and use Search, Barcode, Label or Quick.

No. Food entries are organized by time. Tap the time when logging to change it, or edit the entry later.

Photograph the package once (front, nutrition label and ingredients). You check the numbers, and the food is saved so the next person doesn't have to.
