Logging Food

The Today tab is your food log. At the top: the date, your day type, and two rings — calories and protein — against today's targets. Below: what you've logged, and every way to add more.

Pick a slot, then add

The Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner / Snacks buttons choose which slot new entries land in — the header shows "adding to …" so you always know. The Quick add list under the search box is ranked by your own history for that slot, so your usual breakfast floats to the top at breakfast time. Tap + on any food to log it instantly, or tap the food's name to choose the slot and quantity first.

If the shortlist doesn't have it:

• Search — type a few letters to search your whole library.
• Scan a barcode — the barcode button opens the camera; point it at a packaged food's UPC and FuelKit looks up the product and its label. No camera access? You can scan from a photo instead. (See the FAQ if the camera says it's blocked.)
• Photograph the label — snap the nutrition-facts panel and it goes into a pending queue; process it into a food later (or ask a connected AI assistant to read it for you).
• USDA lookup — when your library has few matches, FuelKit offers results from the USDA food database. Add & log saves it to your library and logs it in one step.
• Add by hand — the dashed + button opens a blank food form.

Adjust or remove entries

Logged entries are grouped by slot, each showing its calories and macros. Use the – / + stepper to change quantity; stepping down from 1 asks before removing the entry. clear at the top of the list wipes the whole day (with a confirm).

Log past days

The arrows beside the date move to earlier days — useful for filling in yesterday. Future days can't be logged. Today jumps you back.

The energy picture

Two layers describe your day's burn:

• Resting burn (BMR) is computed from your profile — it needs at least one weigh-in (Week tab) to appear.
• Active calories come from two places that add together: the number your watch reports (type it into the "Active kcal from watch" box, or push it automatically — see API Keys) plus any activities you log manually. If your watch undercounts something (yard work, lifting), log the difference as an activity rather than the total, so it isn't counted twice.

The Net balance card shows eaten vs. burned — a deficit or surplus for the day. Macro tiles below the rings track carbs, fat, fiber, and sodium.

Tonight's dinner

If the Plan tab has a dinner planned for tonight, it appears as a one-tap Log it card — the fastest way to log the meal you actually cooked. (Planned meals also feed the grocery list.)
