Logging Meals
Bettie gives you four fast ways to log a meal. Pick whichever fits the moment.
Logging methods
Photo capture
Tap the camera button and snap a photo of your plate. Bettie uses AI to identify the foods, estimate portions, and calculate carbs, protein, and fat. Review the breakdown and tap Log.
Barcode scanning
For packaged food, tap the barcode scanner. Point your camera at the barcode and Bettie will look up the nutrition label automatically. Adjust the serving size if needed and log.
Receipt scanning
Scan a restaurant receipt or takeaway order. Bettie reads the line items, matches them to its food database, and builds a meal estimate. This works well for orders where you know what was in each dish.
Manual / Text entry
Type a description like "two slices of sourdough toast with butter and a flat white". Bettie interprets the text and returns a nutrition estimate you can edit before logging.
Refining with the AI assistant
After logging, you can open the Chat tab to refine your meal. Tell Bettie you only ate half, swap an ingredient, or ask it to compare with a similar meal you had last week. The estimate updates in real time.
Adjusting portions and timestamps
Tap any logged meal to edit the portion size or change the time it was eaten. Accurate timestamps help Bettie align the meal with your glucose curve for better insights.
Quick adds
Frequently eaten meals appear as quick-add suggestions at the top of the Log screen. Tap one to log it instantly with your usual portion size.
The more you log, the smarter quick-add suggestions become. Bettie learns your habits and surfaces your most frequent meals.
