Can I log a meal without taking a photo?

Summarize with: ChatGPT Claude AI Mode Perplexity

Yes. You can type the meal, dictate it with the microphone, or add it from your recent foods and favourite meals.

How it works in the app

1. On Home, tap the + button. The "Log Meal" screen opens.
2. Type in the box that says "What do you want to track?". Put one food per line and add a portion, for example "150g grilled paneer".
3. Or tap the mic and say it. Or use the Recent and Favourites tiles to add foods you logged before.
4. Pick a food type and one cooking method. The food type is required, and so is the cooking method unless the type is Fruits or Supplements. The error says which one is missing.
5. Submit. NutriScan analyses the text and opens the Nutrition Details page.

While you type, a suggestions panel offers dishes. Tap one to fill the current line.

Picking the meal and the day

The meal time pill at the top starts on the slot that matches the current time. Tap it to choose Breakfast, Mid-Morning, Lunch, Afternoon, Dinner or Bedtime. The date pill opens a month grid for another day.

Photo and text together

You can attach a photo with the Scan pill and add text too. A photo alone is a valid log, and so is text alone.
