RecipeAI feature guide

Estimate a Meal from a Photo

Use one photo for two clear choices: log the visible meal with estimated nutrition, or look for a real recipe that resembles the dish.

Estimate a Meal from a Photo

Built for real cooking, not saved-post clutter

A useful estimate, clearly labelled

RecipeAI estimates calories, protein, carbs, and fat for the visible portion and labels the result Estimated.

Log the meal or find the recipe

Save the analyzed plate to Today, or search reputable public sources for a recipe you can review and save.

Your output language, sources from anywhere

Discovery may inspect sources in any language, while the dish name and recipe details are returned in your selected language.

From discovery to a recipe you can cook

  1. Open Today, tap the blue plus button, choose Scan meal, and photograph or select a clear image.

  2. Review the detected dish and estimated nutrition.

  3. Choose whether to log the meal or review a matching sourced recipe.

Frequently asked questions

Can a photo calculate exact calories?

No. A photo cannot reveal hidden oil, sauces, weight, ingredients, or cooking method. The result is an estimate.

What if no trustworthy recipe is found?

You can still log the estimated meal, but RecipeAI does not invent a publisher or source URL.

How much does photo analysis cost?

A free account receives one successful lifetime analysis. Premium users can use the AI photo feature without that free limit.
