AI-assisted food logging
Describe a meal, then check the estimate
Speed Macros can turn a plain-language meal description into a logged estimate. It is saved straight away and marked Not reviewed until you confirm it. You stay in control: inspect the foods, amounts, and nutrition values, make corrections, or remove the entry at any time.
What AI meal tracking can help with
A meal description can be a quick starting point when you do not have a package label or recipe handy. Add details you know—such as ingredients, cooking method, restaurant, or portion size—to help make the draft more specific.
Open it and check
Food names and serving sizes can be ambiguous, and nutrition varies by brand, recipe, and preparation. Check the entry against what you ate. You can adjust it or use manual logging; a generated estimate is not a lab analysis or guaranteed accurate record.
Use source information when available
For packaged food, enter the printed label values when they are available. For recipes, include ingredient amounts and divide the batch by the portion you served. Better source details make a log more useful than a generic description alone.
Common questions
How accurate is an AI meal estimate?
It is an estimate, not a measurement. Foods that match USDA's table use USDA's numbers and are marked "USDA data"; named restaurant items use published nutrition when a confident match exists; everything else is the AI's own estimate with a high, medium or low confidence badge. Portion size is usually the biggest source of error, which is why every guessed amount is shown. Speed Macros has not published its own accuracy test.
What do I type?
Write it the way you'd say it: "leftover biryani, biggish plate" or "2 eggs fried in butter and a slice of toast". The more you include (amounts, cooking oil, brand or restaurant), the less it has to guess. Vague amounts are fine; the entry shows what it assumed.
How do I fix a wrong estimate?
Open the entry. Tap Small, Medium or Large to change a guessed amount without another AI call, type an exact amount, edit any number, or use "Fix with words" (for example "it was half that rice").
What does it cost?
Describing a meal costs 10 AI credits and a fix in words 1. A meal made only of simple foods from USDA's table is looked up free, manual logging is free, and new accounts usually start with credits to try it. See Pricing for packs and Plus.
Do I have to use AI?
No. Manual logging and saved recipes work without AI, and AI sharing can be switched off in Settings at any time.
