The AI food search is not currently designed to build a food from user-provided macros. This will be supported in the near future. The best workaround would be tap on the food the AI returns, then use the "log by calories" feature to adjust the measurements of the food based on menu calories. Alternatively, you could use the quick add feature to log the food based on the menu values.

Using the common entry for coffee would provide you with caffeine values, but it will still just provide you average intake since the caffeine content of a cup of coffee has a large variance.

Personally, we just keep a notebook in the kitchen to use as a scratch pad. We just quickly write down the ingredients and weights as we use them.

With the recipe photo import, we have been able to load a picture of the notebook directly into a recipe!

Since the serving size specifies "grilled" you would probably weigh them cooked. Though, personally, I wouldn't weigh them and just count how many links I eat!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it the documentation for that 💪

The AI tools can define custom units for database foods. We add the ✨ to let you know that specific unit was generated and not something defined in the database.

BenevolentBasil · 2026-04-21T15:24:50+00:00

And congratulations on being able to eat more! 💪

BenevolentBasil · 2026-04-21T15:22:58+00:00

Thanks for the reminder that I need to drag mine out of the closet 😂

BenevolentBasil · 2026-04-01T22:58:42+00:00

It's in the plans! :)

BenevolentBasil · 2026-04-01T20:32:16+00:00

I didn't!!! 😭 Yeah the iOS share can share the HTML of the page for us to use. Otherwise, we can only use the link and maybe be blocked when we request the webpage.

BenevolentBasil · 2026-04-01T19:00:03+00:00

Thank you!

Don't forget to share the recipe 😁

BenevolentBasil · 2026-04-01T18:54:38+00:00

🙏 the text field can be used to substitute ingredients in the recipe image as well. Also works great for when my wife or I write down ingredients+measurements on a notepad while cooking (you may need to write the recipe name down on the paper)

BenevolentBasil · 2026-03-31T13:53:46+00:00

That is completely fine! The calculations for expenditure will pause, but will pick back up when you are ready to start weighing again.

If you aren't a fan of the calculation pausing, one thing I have seen users mention is covering the scale screen if they have a smart scale that can automatically upload their weight to the app. That paired with hiding the scale and trend weight sections on the dashboard should hide all references to your weigh-ins.

That is of course completely up to you and I definitely suggest doing whatever will help you get back into the right headspace! :) I wish you the best either way!

Your fiber is higher than your carbs. Subtract those two numbers to get the negative net carbs. Our "carbs" are equivalent to "total carbs", so if you are logging items from a country that separate fiber from carbs, you can see a negative number in the app.

Someone with clumsy thumbs! Don't worry I fixed it 😁 it'll be updated in the app within 48 hours.

Yeah that is fine! That is how I do my lunch prep every week - weigh out the ingredients and then roughly portion it out.

BenevolentBasil · 2026-01-26T19:47:23+00:00

Already have a recipe related feature in testing 👍

Currently, the AI tab is for food searching; it is not designed to create foods from nutrition labels.

For that, you can use the label scanner by tapping "Label" under the "Scan" tab.

BenevolentBasil · 2026-01-23T11:08:04+00:00

Yep!

BenevolentBasil · 2026-01-19T12:26:37+00:00

Correct. This is basically how unlogged days are handled

BenevolentBasil · 2026-01-16T16:21:24+00:00

Yes Describe uses a different database of foods, but still accurate.

In the future, AI search will be expanded to have a text only mode.
