What is Meal Scan?
Meal Scan uses AI vision to analyze a photo of your food and automatically identify what's on your plate. It estimates portion sizes and provides nutrition data: making logging as easy as taking a picture.
How It Works
- Take a photo: snap a picture of your meal from above
- AI analyzes: our AI identifies individual food items in the image
- Review results: see the detected foods with estimated portions and nutrition
- Adjust & log: fine-tune portions if needed and add everything to your diary
Tips for Accurate Results
- Overhead angle: shoot from directly above for the clearest view
- Good lighting: natural light works best; avoid heavy shadows
- Full plate visible: make sure all food items are visible in the frame
- One meal per photo: focus on a single plate or meal
- Review portions: AI estimates are good starting points, but adjust if needed
What It Can Detect
Meal Scan works well with whole foods (fruits, vegetables, meats), prepared dishes (pasta, salads, sandwiches), plated meals, and individual snacks.
Accuracy
AI meal scanning provides estimates: it's designed to make logging faster rather than replace precise tracking. For exact nutrition data, barcode scanning or manual search provide higher accuracy.
