How does it work?

Advanced AI models analyse shapes, colours, and textures within each image to identify food items. It considers contextual clues and typical food combinations to predict the most likely components of your meal. This data, along with nutrition databases are used to generate a detailed nutritional profile for each meal.

How accurate is the AI?

Currently it is about 80% of the time, identifying food items and their nutrients. That’s pretty sharp, considering it’s up against perfect manual weighing and tracking.

What about portion sizes?

The AI uses visual hints and typical serving sizes to guess the weight. You can jump in and fine-tune these estimates any time.

Can I make corrections?

Absolutely! It's all about you and the AI working together. Spot a mistake? Fix it with a tap—it's that easy!

Why are fibre and protein so important?

Firstly, fibre is essential for digestive health, keeping things moving along smoothly! Moreover, it adds bulk to meals, helps lower cholesterol for a healthy heart, delays sugar absorbtion to maintain low blood sugar levels and is essential for bacteria to promote a healthy gut microbiome.
‍
Protein on the other hand is essential for a number of human bodily functions - including cell maintenance, hormone regulation, muscle repair and digestive enzyme production - is key in promoting satiety, making you feel full.

What is a blood sugar-balancing diet?

A blood-sugar balancing diet helps to maintain stable blood glucose levels throughout the day. To do so, some key nutrient balances must be considered including a limited sugar and refined carbohydrate intake, a focus on incorporating good quality protein, choosing foods rich in healthy fats and hitting the daily recommended 30g of fibre.

Does it need my help?

The AI gets you off to a great start, but for the best results, we suggest you give the analysis a quick glance and tweak as needed. Teamwork makes the dream work!

How can it tell similar foods apart?

Is it Greek Yoghurt or Sour Cream? The AI guesses the most likely match and offers a lineup of look-alikes for you to confirm. Just pick the right player!

What if the AI is stumped by something on my plate?

No sweat! Adding unrecognised items is a breeze. Quick tap and type, and you're all set.

How does the AI get smarter over time?

Every food item you add teaches the AI a new trick. It remembers and prioritises them for future additions.

How is food tracking useful?

Tracking is useful for many reasons! It helps you to remian present with everything you eat, creates personal accountability, expands your nutrition knowledge and can help identify your eating behaviour patterns. Whatever your health goal is, tracking is a great option to aid your journey!

Can I log homemade meals or
recipes?
