Better AI estimates
How to get more accurate AI calorie estimates
Learn how a clear photo and a few meal details help BiteCheck create a more useful calorie and macro estimate.
What you can do
BiteCheck uses the foods, portions, and preparation details available in your photo or description to estimate calories and macros. Clear input and useful portion details help the result match your meal more closely.
Start with the input that fits the meal
Use a photo for a visible plate, voice or text for a recipe you know, and a barcode for a supported packaged product.
For homemade or mixed meals, combine a photo with ingredient and portion details to give BiteCheck the fullest picture.
Small details make a meaningful difference
Two similar-looking plates can use different portions, oils, dressings, and cooking methods. Add what you know so the entry reflects your meal.
You can update the meal with voice, text, chat, a package serving, or a measured quantity.
- Photograph the full plate in even light
- Include sauces, drinks, sides, and toppings
- Mention oil, butter, dressing, and cooking method
- Add a known serving size, weight, or recipe portion
- Name the brand or restaurant when it helps
Use the estimate with your daily context
A single meal becomes more useful when it is part of a consistent food diary. BiteCheck connects calories and macros with daily targets, fasting, weight, and progress trends.
Choose the fastest logging method you can maintain, then add detail to the meals where it matters most to you.
Choose more detail when you need it
Package labels, recipe quantities, and kitchen-scale measurements can add detail for repeat meals and specific targets.
For medical care, allergies, pregnancy, medication, an eating-disorder recovery plan, or a therapeutic diet, use the measurement approach recommended by a qualified healthcare professional.
