Review the proposed foods, portions, and nutrition before saving. Reuse recent foods, check your remaining macros, correct an imported item, or undo an imported meal. Nutrition estimates and assumptions are yours to review. KEEP PROTEIN IN VIEW See your daily protein target alongside calories, carbohydrates, and fats. Compare foods with Protein Score, which shows protein per 100 calories, and follow your progress throughout the day. CHOOSE HOW YOU LOG Search foods, scan a barcode or nutrition label, analyze a food photo, or enter nutrition manually. Adjust the portion and choose the meal before adding it to your log.
