When you select a goal pace, macro shows an estimated date to reach your goal weight on the Progress tab.

1. Take Photo — Snap a photo of your meal to estimate calories and macros.

• Take photos from 6–12 inches away.
• Some users weigh food on a scale before photographing.
• Photograph the nutrition facts label when available.

You can also upload a photo if you took one earlier and forgot to log it at the time.

2. Scan — Scan a product's barcode when available.

Note: Some products are new and may not be in the Open Food Facts database yet. You can help add barcodes at ph.openfoodfacts.org/contribute.

3. Describe Meal — Estimate calories without a photo. You can also attach a photo for a more accurate estimate.

• One line per ingredient
• Use valid units (g, oz, ml, cups, pcs)
• Example: 150g rice, 100g chicken breast, 10ml cooking oil

4. Manual Entry — Enter calories and macronutrients yourself when you already know the values.

5. Recent — Find foods from your previously logged meals.

Favorites — Pin meals to the top of your recent meals list.

On the home screen, a surplus (for example, +70 calories) means you went over your daily calorie allowance. That's normal—the goal is to keep it from happening too often.

Surplus is disabled by default. Enable it under Profile → Customizations → Surplus.

Burned Calories is enabled by default. Below your consumed calories, tap “See burned calories” to open the connection screen.

Tap “Connect to Apple Health” or “Connect to Health Connect,” then enable all permissions when prompted.

Tap a logged meal's photo to open a shareable layout for social media.

Set the theme to Dark, Light, or System. System follows your device's light and dark schedule.

Choose how macronutrients are allocated: High-Protein, Low Carb, Keto, or a custom preset you set yourself.

Enable it under Profile → Customizations → Water Intake.

For intermittent fasting, OMAD, and other schedules. Enable it under Profile → Customizations → Fasting Timer.

Enable it under Profile → Customizations → More Nutrients to see estimated figures beyond protein, carbs, and fat.

Note: “See more” only appears after you've logged food for the day.

Manually edit your target calories and macronutrients. Tapping Recalculate resets targets to values from your profile setup.

Download or upload a CSV with food logs, weight entries, and settings.

• Import — Upload your own CSV or one you exported from macro.
• Export — Download your data as a CSV file.
• Reset — Clears all app data (also called Clear Data).

View weekly calorie trends and see whether you hit your macro goals.

Update your weight with the "Update" button on the Progress tab.

In the upper-right corner of the home screen, open the album to browse meals logged with Take Photo.

1. Swipe horizontally on the home screen to change dates.
2. Widgets — Home screen widgets for calories, fasting timer, and water intake.
3. Anti-spam — Limits how often you can upload to prevent abuse.
4. Shutter sound — Turn the camera shutter sound on or off when taking or uploading photos.
5. Flip cards — Tap calorie cards on the home screen to switch between total calories and calories left. Tap macronutrient cards to switch between total intake and amount remaining.
