Welcome. Log your food to see your nutrient balance and get advice with sources.Complete setup before logging your first meal.

Captions are included. Screens show sample data.
1. Complete setup
Your daily targets are based on your body measurements and concerns. Without this information, targets can’t be calculated.
Without targets, your logged amounts can’t be compared with a daily goal. Enter this information once during setup.
①
About you
Sex, date of birth, height, and weight are used to estimate your basal metabolic rate and daily Calorie target.
②
Usual activity level
Used to estimate your energy expenditure. This estimate adjusts automatically as you log.
③
Concerns (select all that apply)
For example, blood pressure, blood sugar, or managing your weight. Related nutrients and advice then appear first.
The first time you save, you’ll check a box to agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Take a photo of your food. AI estimates the items, portions, and nutrients.
▦
Multiple photos
Analyze up to 10 photos from one day at once. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack is tentatively assigned based on when each photo was taken. Analysis continues even if you close the screen.
✎
Text
Without a photo, enter a description such as “a chicken sandwich, fries, and two beers.” Include the type and number of alcoholic drinks to include estimated Calories and pure alcohol content.
When analysis finishes, a review card appears. Review the details and tap Log to save. The item name, amount eaten, meal type, date, and time can all be edited later. Open a log and tap Edit meal, date & time to change the date.
Pricing
After signing up, you get a 7-day free trial with all features (up to 30 analyses per day, no credit card required).
After your free trial, new analyses require Premium ($39.89/year or $7.89/month).
Viewing past logs and reports is free while you keep using Yummeee.
(Accounts that remain inactive for an extended period may be removed with advance notice. See Terms of Service, Section 16.)
3. Photo tips
Take photos from directly above or at a 45-degree angle in good light. Avoiding shadows and backlighting can improve estimates.
Fit the whole meal in the frame. For meals with several dishes, include them all in one photo.
A fork, spoon, or soda can works as a size reference to help estimate portions. Including one is optional.
For packaged foods, photograph the Nutrition Facts label so the printed values are used directly instead of an AI estimate. You can also tap Add label photo after taking the food photo.
A barcode in the photo lets Yummeee automatically group entries for the same product.
If you ate only half, adjust the Amount eaten on the review card.
Photos without food won’t return any food items. These don’t count toward your analysis limit.
Portion estimates from photos have limits. Label photos for packaged foods and ingredient names for home cooking can improve estimates.
4. Advice backed by sources
Every number and piece of advice shown is backed by a source, including the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025–2030, National Academies’ Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), FDA Daily Values, and USDA FoodData Central. Advice is only shown when a source is available. Sources appear below each piece of advice, with links to the original material when available.
Badges show where nutrient values come from
From the labelRead from the package label. Printed values are used directly.
From the label (estimated)Label values identified as manufacturer estimates, calculated from food composition data or similar sources.
Food databaseMatched to USDA FoodData Central.
Shared label dataValues from community label scans, grouped by barcode. Only values that match across multiple scans are used.
LearnedBased on food name matches you’ve corrected.
External dataReference values from Open Food Facts, an external open food database.
AI estimateEstimated from a photo, rather than measured.
Couldn’t analyzeItems that can’t be identified are marked Unknown. A missing value doesn’t mean 0.
In general, label and published values (From the label, Food database, Shared label data, Learned) are more reliable than external data, followed by AI estimates. Label values can be manufacturer estimates, and the food database describes typical foods rather than a specific product. This order isn’t absolute, so Yummeee shows the source for each value. Food descriptions are marked Text estimate. Values you enter yourself are marked Manual entry.
Daily: facts and options for today. A single day’s log doesn’t determine whether your diet is healthy or unhealthy.
Weekly and monthly: trends over time. Advice appears after you’ve logged at least two meals a day on at least three days.
Selecting Concerns in Settings, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, or managing your weight, shows related nutrients and advice first.
5. Adapts as you log
Label photos for packaged foods and corrected food names help your logs better reflect what you ate. As you keep logging your weight, Yummeee suggests target adjustments based on your estimated Calories burned. Your targets never change automatically. You’ll see the breakdown, and changes apply only after you approve them.
