AI meal tracker

Keep a food journal without turning every meal into data entry.

Describe a meal, speak it, start with a photo or scan a packaged food. KnowsYou creates a reviewable meal record from an estimate or the matched product's nutrition facts.

Descriptions and photos are estimates—not measurements. Confirm that a barcode matched the right product.

Example conversation: a meal photo with a short note becomes an approximate meal record

Phone photo of teriyaki salmon on rice with broccoli

log this — the salmon was about 150 g

Log your way

Start with the information you have.

A sentence can preserve the moment. Add more detail when a more useful estimate matters to you.

Describe it

List the foods you remember, even when the description is brief.

Photograph it

Start from likely foods and portions visible in an image.

Scan it

Scan a packaged food to bring its matched nutrition facts into the conversation. Log an amount, compare products or ask how one fits a goal you set.

What a photo can do

Give the estimate a practical starting point.

AI can use visible cues and your description to suggest likely foods and approximate portions. The result becomes a saved meal you can inspect and correct.

  • Likely foods visible in the image
  • Approximate relative portions
  • Details supplied in your message

What a photo cannot reveal

Important details can stay invisible.

A single image may not show exact weight, depth, hidden ingredients, cooking oil, sauce, brand, recipe or preparation method. Similar-looking meals can have different nutrition.

Image-based dietary assessment can reduce logging effort, but food recognition and portion estimation retain meaningful error. See the 2022 systematic review and 2021 portion study.

Corrections are part of the design

If the estimate is wrong, say what changed.

The first result is a draft, not a verdict. Correct the food, quantity or preparation details in conversation and check the updated record.

Example conversation: a meal corrected by replying

the rice was more like half a cup, and the glaze was way too sweet for me

Updated — dinner drops from ~630 to ~550 kcal. And noted: one star, not a repeat.

Food journaling

Make everyday eating easier to revisit.

A food journal can help you notice patterns in what and when you eat. It is often one part of broader behavior-change programs, not a guarantee of weight loss or a benefit for everyone.

Honest gaps

A missing meal is unknown, not zero.

KnowsYou reports what is in your journal. It cannot know whether an unlogged meal happened or whether one saved meal represents your complete day.

Keep meal tracking in its lane

Do not use meal estimates to dose medication, manage a medical condition or change treatment. If calorie or weight tracking feels distressing or compulsive, pause it and seek qualified support. See the safety boundaries.

Start with the meal you just had.

Describe it in one sentence or scan a packaged food, then review the record and add the details that matter to you.
