Keenoa is a photo food diary. It is used in nutrition research and by people working with a dietitian. Logging a meal • Take a photo. If the suggestion is right, tap it. If not, search or scan. Then confirm. • You can also copy a meal you already logged. • Choose portions with visual guides. Your diary • See each day as a list or a photo grid. • Nutrients are not shown unless your dietitian turns them on. • Add a note about the meal. Hunger, thirst, and fullness appear only if your diary includes those questions. • Reminders help you remember to log. • If you are offline, your meals are kept and sent when you are back online. Sharing • If you are in a study, sign in with Apple, then enter the 6-digit participant ID from your research team. If you already have an account, enter that ID from your profile. • If you work with a dietitian, your diary is shared only after you accept their invitation. You can exchange comments.
