Track a meal

#
  1. Say what you ate, starting with "track":

    track breakfast, two eggs and a slice of rye bread

    The first time, it asks "Start a food tracker?" and says the numbers are estimates. If you have or had an eating disorder, say so: it then shows totals only when you ask and never sets a target.

  2. Answer yes. You see a reply such as:

    Tracked: eggs 120 g (assumed), rye bread 50 g (assumed): 271 kcal, 20 g protein.

Without a weight, it uses a usual one and marks it "assumed". For a pack, bowl or glass, it asks the size once and remembers it.

More you can say

#
  • track lunch, ..., track dinner, ... or track snack, ...
  • remember this as my usual lunch, then later track usual lunch
  • the eggs were three, the rice was 150 g or delete the eggs
  • what did I eat today?
  • set my food target, which asks for anything it needs
  • stop showing calories and show calories again
  • A product by brand and name, or barcode: track 20 g of 4008400401621

Your entries are a table on the Trackers shelf in Collections.

Where the numbers come from

#
  • BLS 4.0, a table of everyday foods from the Max Rubner-Institut, a German research institute. Godspeed downloads it once, then works offline.
  • Open Food Facts, a free online product database, for barcodes and branded products.

Your notebook names both, with their licences, under Settings, About.

Calories and protein never come from the AI's guess.

What it never does

#
  • Remind you to track.
  • Set or talk about a target for anyone under 19, pregnant, breastfeeding, or with an eating disorder now or in the past.
