After your food is logged, our algorithm, designed by our nutrition scientists, will provide a Nutrition Score and personalized feedback on your meal. Each food is assessed in terms of nutritional factors that can influence weight and health, like how much fiber, protein, and healthy fat they contain and how calorie-dense they are.

Good job! 🥳

How to change the meal type

On iOS, you can now also choose the meal type when logging meals and also log snacks. When logging a meal, simply choose the type of meal it is: breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack, and then change the time. If the time doesn't align with the meal type, e.g., you are logging breakfast at 7 PM, the app will ask if the chosen meal type is correct.

You can also edit the meal type by following the same steps as for editing the meal entry.

On Android, the meal type is assigned automatically. Here are the timeframes for different meal types:

Breakfast: 4 am10 am
Late breakfast: 10 am12 pm
Lunch: 12 pm4 pm
Early dinner: 4 pm6 pm
Dinner: 6 pm10 pm
Late dinner: 10 pm4 am

How editing meals can affect your fasts

  • If you edit the time of a meal that starts or ends a fast, that will affect the fast that this corresponds with.

  • If you delete a meal that starts a fast, this will automatically delete the fast it started.

  • If you delete a meal that ends a fast, this will automatically extend the fasting period until the next meal you record. If there is no meal logged after the one you’ve deleted, your current status will change back to Fasting.
