How it works

You log food against your daily targets. The Log food sheet has five tabs: Search, Scan, Quick, Library and Describe. Pick items, add them to the tray, 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.

Log food

  1. Open Log food

    Tap + on the Nutrition tab, or the + in the middle of the tab bar and then Log food. The time chip sets when you ate. It defaults to now.

    In the appNutrition › +

  2. Type a food or brand and tap Add to tray. Tap an item in the tray to change the portion. When you're done, tap Log.

    In the appLog food › Search

    The Log food sheet's Search tab with results for a typed food and Add to tray buttons.
    Search the food database.

Scan a barcode, label or meal

The Scan tab has three modes. Use the one that fits what's in front of you.

  1. Scan a barcode

    For packaged food. Point at the barcode and tap Add to tray. No barcode signal? Tap Enter barcode by hand.

    Not in our database yet? Photograph the package (front, nutrition label and ingredients). The app fills in the numbers, you check them, and the food is saved for everyone.

    In the appLog food › Scan › Barcode

  2. Scan a nutrition label

    For food with a label but no barcode that works. The app reads the numbers. Check them, name the food and add it.

    In the appLog food › Scan › Label

  3. Photograph a meal

    For a plate of food. Get the whole plate in the photo. You get an estimate of calories and macros to check before you log.

    In the appLog food › Scan › Meal

Describe a meal

  1. Type it, or say it

    Write what you ate the way you'd say it: "Two eggs, sourdough toast, half an avocado." Or tap Say what you ate. Tap Estimate.

    Foods found in our database are marked. Anything else is an AI estimate, and marked as one.

    In the appLog food › Describe

    The Describe tab with a meal typed in plain words and an Estimate button.
    Type it the way you'd say it.

Check an estimate before you log it

  1. 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 show what you've eaten against 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 the Nutrition tab for averages over a week, a month or a year, and nutrients beyond the big four: fiber, sodium, sugars, vitamins and minerals. Days you didn't log are left out of averages.

Good to know

  • TipBarcode first, search second, photo for anything home-made or eaten out.
  • TipPhotos work best from above, with the whole plate in frame.
  • TipLog a bite of something rather than nothing. The plan needs the full picture.
  • TipMeal photos are stored with your account. Deleting your account deletes them.

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. Each entry has a time instead. Change it with the time chip when you log, or later from the entry.

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.
