Snap a photo of your meal
Some meals are easier to show than to describe — so when you'd rather not type it all out, just take a photo and let Abraham do the first pass.
How it works
- In the chat, open the camera and choose the photo option.
- Snap a clear picture of your meal — a plate of grilled chicken, rice and a side of veggies, say.
- Abraham looks at the photo and estimates what's on the plate, along with a rough calorie and macro breakdown.
- Check what he found. You can adjust the name or the numbers if something doesn't look right.
- Confirm, and it's saved to your diary against your personalised targets. Nothing is logged until you say yes.
A few tips for a good photo
- Shoot from above or slightly on an angle so the whole plate is in frame.
- Good light helps — natural light is best.
- One meal at a time reads more clearly than a crowded table.
Estimates are a guide
A photo can't measure exactly what's on your plate, so treat the calories and macros as a helpful estimate rather than an exact figure — portion sizes, oils and hidden ingredients are hard to see. If you know the detail, tweak it before confirming, or simply tell Abraham in the chat instead. Across your snapshot days, these estimates are more than enough for Abraham to read your patterns.
If any of your allergies are saved in your profile, food logging will flag a warning where it can — but a photo can't catch everything, so keep checking labels yourself.
Good to know: a photo is one of three easy ways to log a meal. You can also scan a product barcode with the in-app camera, or just tell Abraham what you ate.
