Photo logging · MyFuel Pro

A photo can start the entry. You finish it.

Use a food photo or nutrition-label photo to begin an estimate, then check the foods, serving sizes, quantities, and nutrition details before the entry reaches your day.

The workflow

Capture, inspect, correct, save.

Choose the photo path that matches what is in front of you: a meal or a printed nutrition label. Then treat the result as a draft.

  1. Take a clear photo. For a meal, keep the plate visible and avoid heavy shadows. For a label, include the serving-size and nutrient lines in focus.
  2. Inspect what MyFuel found. Confirm the foods or label details match what you intended to log.
  3. Adjust the entry. Correct the serving, quantity, preparation, and nutrition information. Add anything the image could not show.
  4. Save the reviewed version. Add the entry only after it reasonably represents what you ate or drank.

Photo or label?

Use the evidence you actually have.

Meal photo

Helpful for beginning an entry when the food is visible. Mixed dishes, restaurant recipes, oils, and exact portions still need your judgment.

Nutrition-label photo

Helpful when a packaged product has a readable label. Check the package’s serving size against the amount you consumed, and confirm that the captured values are correct.

Manual entry or Food Library

Often the clearest choice when you already know the product, recipe, or exact nutrition details—or when the photo is blurry, incomplete, or ambiguous.

Practical FAQ

What a food photo cannot tell you.

Can a photo know exact calories?

No. The image starts an estimate. Exact ingredients, cooking methods, brands, and portions may be unknown, and nutrition data itself can vary.

How do I take a more useful meal photo?

Use even light, keep the full plate in frame, and avoid covering one food with another. If scale is unclear, use your knowledge of the portion during review.

What should I check on a nutrition label?

Check that the serving size and quantity consumed match, then review calories, protein, carbs, fat, and any other values you plan to save. Glare or a cropped label can cause missing details.
