How it works
- Tap the mic and say what you ate. Your words appear as you speak.
- Review the ingredients and nutrition estimates. Change anything that looks off.
- Tap Log meal to add it to your day.
What to say
Talk normally. These all work:
- "Two scrambled eggs, two slices of sourdough with butter and a medium oat milk latte."
- "Chipotle chicken burrito bowl, no rice, extra guac."
- "Half a turkey sub from Subway and a bag of Sun Chips."
- "Same breakfast as yesterday."
A few details make the estimate closer:
- Amounts you know. Include a portion size if you know it, such as "200 grams of chicken" or "two cups of rice".
- How it was cooked. Mention cooking fats, such as "fried in olive oil" or "cooked in butter".
- Where it came from. Name the brand or restaurant and the dish.
- How much you ate. "Half of it" or "I left the fries" counts only what you ate.
- Repeats. Say "same breakfast as yesterday" or "another protein shake like this morning".
You can also type the same sentence, or take a photo and say what the camera can't see.
Fixing the estimate
Change any ingredient's amount, add something missing or remove what you didn't eat. Your meal total updates as you go. Learn more about accuracy.

Questions
Can I log a whole meal in one sentence?
Yes. Say everything you had, for example "a turkey club, a side salad with ranch and an iced tea", and Know My Meals splits it into separate ingredients with amounts.
Does Know My Meals keep my voice recordings?
We keep the text and nutrition, not the audio. AI services process the recording and may retain submitted data for a limited time. See AI processing.
What if it hears me wrong?
Your words show on screen as you talk, and you can edit the meal afterwards by changing amounts or adding and removing ingredients. A new estimate doesn't count toward your day until you tap Log meal.
Does it work with restaurant food?
Yes. Name the restaurant and dish when you log your meal.
How much does it cost?
$11.99 a month or $71.99 a year in the US, through the App Store. There is no free version and no free trial.
iPhone only for now. Android coming soon.
