Specify a meal

A meal can be made up of different ingredients. Each of them can be specified in detail. For each detected ingredient in the image:

  1. The algorithm makes suggestions on the type of food.
  2. When there is no matching suggestion you can “Show more” and you will get additional suggestions.
  3. In case still none of the suggestions matches you can use the search bar at the bottom to search the entire database

The food recognition gets better with every image. When you upload the same type of food multiple times, it should start to recognise it.

If needed, the portion can be adjusted by changing the weight and the units. To see which phones support the 3D analysis, see here:
