Before you close the day

One row for each part of the app that is waiting on you. A row leaves the moment it is done.

Add or correct a food

One box for everything. A barcode or packaged product is matched against USDA label filings; restaurant dishes and homemade food go to Claude — or Google Gemini — which searches for published nutrition and fills the form below for you to check.

The food itself — a lookup fills this in; you can also just type it

One serving is the unit everything else is measured in. Write it the way the packet does — 1 cup, 4 oz, 1 packet — and the recipe builder converts from it.

Per one serving

Optional, and worth doing. A price here is what the week’s food budget, the grocery list and every recipe’s cost per serving are built from. Leave it blank and the app falls back to a category average, marked estimate wherever it shows.

Check every number before saving. A lookup can be wrong, and an estimate is only as good as the item it was modelled on. Blank fields count as zero.

Back up or move your log

Everything lives on this device and nowhere else. Copy it out, send it to yourself, and paste it into the app on another device. Restoring merges the whole file — diary, foods, plan, workouts, benchmarks, the quarter, deliveries and your profile — and nothing already on this device is lost. Run it in both directions and the two machines match.

Copy this text, send it to yourself, and paste it into the app on your other device.

Your log is saved on this device between sessions. USDA figures come from manufacturers' own label filings; Claude and Gemini lookups come from a web search and should be treated as a starting point, not gospel. Packaged and restaurant values are averages — portion size at home is the biggest source of error in any food diary. This is a tracking tool, not medical advice.
