Log the portion you ate.
1. Find the right food
Search the name, brand or barcode in the food library. For a restaurant, choose the country you ordered in. Check raw versus cooked preparation, flavour, recipe and package before selecting a record.
A barcode identifies the imported package record. It does not prove that a formulation is unchanged or that a product is stocked at your local warehouse.
2. Choose a supported serving
Use grams when you weighed the food, or a household measure with a source gram weight. For restaurant records, a named serving may be the only supported unit. Millilitres do not become grams without a source density or portion weight.
For example, the historical USDA olive-oil profile gives 884 kcal per 100 g. A weighed 13.5 g portion is 884 × 13.5 ÷ 100 = 119.34 kcal. Another source edition can report a different value; keep that edition attached to the entry.
3. Review, then add
Check the food, country, portion, calories and macros. Choose breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack. The diary saves the reviewed source snapshot in this browser. Editing the amount uses those saved values; later menu imports cannot silently rewrite yesterday’s log.
4. Keep missing values visible
A blank nutrient is unknown, not zero. If one logged slice has calories but no protein information, the day’s protein figure is a known subtotal, not a complete total.
Recipes, repeats and backups
Add each reviewed ingredient to a recipe and enter the number of servings in the whole batch. Oil and sauces need their own entries when you want them counted. Recipe nutrients remain unknown wherever an ingredient lacks that field.
Recent foods and favorites reopen the saved portion for review. Preferences contains export, validated import and deletion. There is no account or cloud synchronization; export before clearing browser data.
Make the next log faster without changing yesterday
- Recent food: select a previously used exact source record, then review today’s amount and meal.
- Favourite: save the specific product or order, including its country and recipe. A favourite is a shortcut, not proof that its portion is what you ate.
- Repeat meal: select the source day and Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or Snacks; review the copied foods before adding them to the destination day.
- Recipe: reuse a saved ingredient combination and review the amount or yield instead of re-entering the ingredients.
A copied meal retains its saved nutrient snapshots. If a new menu import changes a source, yesterday’s log is not rewritten. Review a new record explicitly when you want a new formulation. Adding the same meal twice is still two logged amounts; review the duplicate warning rather than assuming the diary will erase one.
Open preferences to export a backup before clearing browser data. Imports and repeat actions should be reviewed as deliberate changes, especially when several entries have similar names. There is no account or automatic cross-device synchronization.
