Logging your meals

You can log what you eat from your client app. Logging a meal by its foods gives you your own calorie and macro totals for the day. When you are not sure of the exact ingredients, you can share a photo or a note instead.

Log a meal

  1. Open Meals.
  2. Choose which meal it is — or Outside a meal if it is not on your plan.
  3. Add the foods: search for each one and set the amount. As you add them, the calories and macros add up so you can see the meal take shape.
  4. Not sure of the exact ingredients? Choose Add a photo or note instead — handy when you are eating out or somewhere you can't check what went in.
  5. Tap Log meal (or Share meal if you used a photo or note).

Your meal appears in your history straight away.

If you chose a meal from your plan, your note can refer to it: “my usual breakfast” or “breakfast as planned, but half the oats.” Mention foods you skipped, swapped, or added so your coach has the context. You do not need to repeat every ingredient that stayed the same.

Finding foods and meals you've added

If the food you eat isn't in the list, you can add it yourself — a home recipe, a local takeaway, or an own-brand item. Once you have added a food or named a meal, food search gains an Added by you filter that keeps those meals and foods together. Foods you log most often appear first, with a note of when you last used each.

Food search also suggests meals you have logged before. Give one a name to keep it in Your usuals, where you can add it again in one tap, change its foods for next time, or remove it. Meals you already logged stay unchanged.

Reach for Added by you when you are logging something you created or named: it saves searching the whole library and helps you avoid adding a second copy.

Your daily totals

When you log meals by their foods, your app shows your running totals for the day — calories, protein, carbs, and fat — so you can see how the day is shaping up.

Meals you share as just a photo or note don't add to those totals; your coach reviews those directly. You won't see coach-only estimates or scores — those stay on your coach's side.

Editing or removing a meal

You can fix a meal until your coach has reviewed it:

  • Edit its details, or the foods you added.
  • Delete a meal you logged.

Once your coach has replied to or reviewed a meal, it is locked so their feedback stays intact. If something needs changing after that, message your coach the way you normally would.

Coach replies

If your coach replies, their note appears under the meal it relates to. You may also see a notification in your app. You can add one short reply back with any missing context — for example, "swapped rice for potato, I was out."

If something goes wrong

If a photo upload fails, nothing is sent. Check your connection and try again.
