Logging your food

The + button opens the capture menu, and Search foods on it opens the full logger. Common staples (chicken breast, eggs, rice) rank at the top with icons, and household portions like 1 large egg or 1 cup cooked are built in. Typos are fine; the search corrects them.

Before you type anything, Your foods sits under the search field: one list of what you actually eat, starred foods pinned on top, everything else ranked by how often you log it. Below it, My foods holds your saved meals and recipes, and Browse is a menu of everyday staples by category.

The menu is yours to shape: the add box in any category saves your own foods there (elk steak, your protein shake), and Edit mode removes anything you never eat.

A Verified badge means the nutrition data was checked. If a food's numbers look wrong, open it and tap Wrong info? Fix it. Your fix helps everyone.

The + button in the middle of the tab bar works from any screen and opens the capture menu: Barcode reads a package, Snap a photo reads your plate, Label reads nutrition facts exactly, and Describe it listens while you say what you ate out loud.

Barcode, Snap a photo, and Label are one camera: switch jobs with the chips at the bottom without leaving it. Album adds photos you took earlier (several at once, each to its own meal), and Type it instead is always there when the camera is not the move.

Before analyzing, you can describe each photo: type or dictate what is on the plate, the serving sizes, or anything to skip. Your description wins over the camera's guess when they disagree, which sharpens the numbers a lot.

Photo and voice come back as editable items. Review the portions before adding; you know your plate better than any camera does.

Photograph a package and FuelPath checks for a barcode first: if it finds one, you get the exact product from the label instead of an estimate, without using a photo credit.

One iPhone quirk worth knowing: an app you added to your Home Screen asks for camera permission again each time you reopen it. That is iOS, not a fault in the app, and Allow gets you straight to the camera. Type it instead is there if you would rather skip it.

You eat the same things often, so FuelPath leans into it. Everything you log builds Your foods; star anything on the portion step to pin it to the top. Tapping any food opens the portion step with your amount prefilled, shows what today has left if you add it, and suggests a better portion when one meal is about to shortchange the next. Save as meal next to a logged meal bundles it for next time. My foods and meals, on the More page, is one searchable list of everything you have saved: filter it by favorites, meals, recipes, or foods, tap anything to edit it, and use the star to pin or unpin.

Quick add on the + menu is the fastest repeat: favorites, saved meals, and recents log in one tap, and Type the macros is right there when you just know the numbers.

Tap any logged entry to change its meal, amount, or macros. Amounts rescale the macros for you. Swipe left to delete.

Missed a whole day? Open it from the week strip and tap Log food to this day. The same logger opens, aimed at that date, so yesterday's dinner still counts.

It works forward too. Swipe the week strip ahead and tap Plan food for that day to log what you already know you are eating, up to four weeks out. Planned days show in your accent color and count for nothing until they arrive: no streak, no XP, no health score. When the day comes, the plan is just your log, and you edit it to match what you actually ate.

The ⋯ button on every logged entry opens quick actions: move it to another meal, set the quantity, star it to pin it to the top of Your foods, or remove it.

Moving something faster: press and hold a logged food for a moment and it lifts off the page. Drag it onto any meal, including one you have not put anything in yet, and let go. A bar of all four meals appears while you drag, so you never have to go hunting for the right spot.

Serving steppers on the food card make quick adjustments easy, and the calorie field fills itself from macros in manual entry until you type your own number. Tap Nutrition facts on a picked food for the full panel: sugar, fiber, fat breakdown, sodium, and potassium when its source provides them.

Every meal and every day gets a Health Score out of 100, scored from five things: protein, fiber, whole foods, vegetables and fruit, and balance (calories near target, meals spread out, water). Same food, same score, every time; nothing is guessed.

Tap Improve this score on the Health score card (add it to Today with Edit Page) to see exactly where the missing points live: add a vegetable, pick the whole-food version, close the fiber gap. Small swaps, visible points.

Your year Health Score is the year's average, shown in the Health Score section on Progress with your last 30 days. It resets every January, only counts days you actually logged, and never nags. Your coach sees it too; it is a conversation starter, not a grade.

Set the day type in one tap from Today (the Training, Rest, Refeed row under your streaks) or on your day review. Rest trims about 10 percent of calories from carbs. Refeed adds about 10 percent as carbs. Protein and fat stay put.

Your rings, adherence, and Daily Brief all judge the day against the adjusted target, so a lighter rest day still counts as on plan.

Sick? Tap Feeling sick on your day review and everything pauses: no scores, no reminders, and your streaks wait for you. You can mark past sick days too. When you tap I'm feeling better, you continue right where you left off.
