Logging food

  • Copying a day or a meal to another dateCopy a food straight to another date, or put it on the clipboard and paste it into any meal on any day. The clipboard holds one food for five minutes.
  • Editing the nutrition on something you loggedWhen a result's figures are wrong, correct them yourself. Edits apply only to your own log, and the app remembers them for next time.
  • Estimating a meal from a photoPhotograph a whole plate and get an estimate of the calories and macros. Built for home cooking and restaurant food, where there is no label to read. Portion size is the hardest part to judge.
  • Nothing found for that foodA search returned no results, or the camera could not read a label. What to try next, in the order most likely to work.
  • Photo scan or lookup limits reachedA free account gets 5 photo scans and 5 food lookups in total, not per month. What still works when they run out, and what does not spend them.
  • Quick add and suggestionsThe quick add panel offers your cookbook and suggestions based on what you usually eat. Where the suggestions come from, and why they are empty at first.
  • Saving meals to your cookbookSave the foods you log together as one reusable meal, then add the whole thing again in a tap. Up to 50 foods, and your history stays as it was.
  • Scanning a product with the cameraPhotograph the front of the pack and then the nutrition panel, and both are read. Two steps, a torch for bad light, and the barcode picked up automatically.
  • Searching for a food and logging itType a food name or a barcode, read the source and confidence on each result, set the serving, and log it. The most common way to add anything to your day.
  • Setting serving size and unitsChange the amount, switch between servings, grams, ounces, millilitres and fluid ounces, and know what to do when the serving is flagged as unclear.
  • Why food estimates vary, and how much to trust themEvery figure in the app is an estimate from a named source with a stated confidence. What each source is good and bad at, what the confidence badges mean, and where AI gets things wrong.

Setting serving size and units

Change the amount, switch between servings, grams, ounces, millilitres and fluid ounces, and know what to do when the serving is flagged as unclear.

Topics: Logging food

Serving size is where most logging errors come from. The food is usually right, and the amount is the part that slips. Every result in Workout Titan Nutrition arrives with a serving already filled in, and it is worth a glance before you log.

Changing the amount

Open the food and find Serving size on the Log tab. There are two ways to change it: the minus and plus steppers for a quick nudge, or the Amount field to type a specific figure. Tap Done when you are finished. Every number on the screen recalculates as you change it, so you can watch the calories move.

The amount has to be greater than zero. Anything else gets "Enter a valid serving amount greater than zero."

The five units

Measure amount in lets you switch between:

  • Serving: whatever the source calls one serving. The panel tells you what that is, so you know whether two servings means two biscuits or two packets.
  • g and oz: weight, for anything solid.
  • ml and fl oz: volume, for anything you pour.

Weighing in grams gives the closest figure, because it takes the guesswork out of portion size. A kitchen scale does more for a food diary than any app feature. Servings are the fastest, and fine for anything portioned by the manufacturer.

"Sources disagree on this food's serving size"

This warning means exactly what it says: the sources checked gave different answers for how big one serving is. It is common for loose foods, bakery items and anything sold by the piece.

When you see it, switch the unit to grams or millilitres and enter a real amount. That sidesteps the disagreement entirely, because 100 g is 100 g whichever source you ask.

Typical serving

Search results show a typical serving as a starting point. It is a convention, not a measurement of what is on your plate, and it is frequently smaller than what people actually eat. Treat it as an opening offer rather than the right answer.

Fixing it after logging

Nothing is stuck. Tap the food on its meal card, change the serving, and the day's totals update. You do not need to delete it and log it again.

Workout Titan

Two apps, one focus: fitness done properly. Coaching gives trainers powerful programmes, live progress and instant adjustments. Nutrition turns your camera into a food log. Scan a pack, a label or your meal and the numbers are done.
