Logging food
Fixing a bad log entry
Estimates are a starting point. Every entry stays editable after it's logged.
Adjust an entry
Tap any entry to open Food details. From there you can:
- Use the portion stepper (− / +) when the food has a quantity in its name, or the quick ½× / 1× / 1½× / 2× multipliers.
- Tap Why these numbers to see the reasoning and sources behind the estimate.
- Use Ask Gauge for anything else — type something like "cooked in butter" or "it was the large size" and Gauge re-runs the numbers, showing you the updated values to Accept or Discard.
Tap Save changes when you're done.
Move an entry to a different meal
Long-press the entry and choose Move to meal…, then pick the meal it belongs in.
Delete an entry
Two ways:
- Swipe left on the entry and tap Delete.
- Or long-press the entry and choose Delete.
Deleting is instant, but you get a five-second Undo in the toast if it was the wrong row. You can also remove an entry from inside Food details with the Remove button.
