How can we help?

Take a photo of your meal and the AI identifies each food item and estimates its nutritional content within seconds. The system recognizes thousands of foods, including mixed dishes and restaurant meals. Providing context like portion sizes or ingredient details improves accuracy. Each analysis returns calories, protein, carbs, and fat per item.

AI-powered estimates are generally within 10-20% of actual values for most common foods. Accuracy is highest for single-ingredient items and standard portions. Mixed dishes, sauces, and hidden oils can introduce more variance. For medical or dietary conditions, always consult a registered dietitian or healthcare provider and verify critical values independently.

Home-cooked meals are well supported. The AI analyzes individual visible ingredients and estimates portions. For best results, photograph the meal from above with good lighting and mention key ingredients or cooking methods in the description. You can also edit any estimated value after logging to match your recipe exactly.

Yes. Tap "Manual Entry" when adding food to enter a food name, calories, and macros by hand. You can also search from your recently logged foods for quick re-logging. Manual entry is useful for packaged items with nutrition labels or when you already know the exact values.

Tap any logged food entry to open the details sheet. From there you can adjust the food name, portion size, and individual macro values (calories, protein, carbs, fat). Changes save instantly. You can also delete the entry entirely and re-log it if needed.

Yes. When your photo shows a full meal with multiple items, the AI identifies each component separately. You get individual nutrition breakdowns per food item, which you can edit independently. This works for plates with several dishes, lunch boxes, and restaurant meals with sides.

Tap the entry and correct the food name, portion, or nutrition values. The system is designed for easy corrections - any field can be edited after logging. If a particular food is consistently misidentified, try photographing it with better lighting or adding a text description alongside the photo.

MyFitnessPal relies on a user-submitted database where you search and select foods manually. Nourli uses AI to analyze a photo of your actual meal, so you skip the search-and-select process entirely. Nourli also includes a personal AI nutrition coach and a strict zero photo retention privacy policy. Both apps track calories and macros, but the input method is fundamentally different.

Nourli differentiates through three key areas: AI model quality (using the latest models, not fixed to a single provider), privacy (zero photo retention - images processed in memory and never stored), and an integrated AI nutrition coach that provides personalized guidance beyond just calorie counting. Most AI trackers store your photos on their servers.

Nourli uses the latest available AI models for food recognition and nutrition estimation, and is not locked to any single provider. This means the accuracy improves over time as newer models become available. The AI coach similarly uses state-of-the-art language models to provide personalized nutrition guidance based on your logged data.

Photograph your meal from directly above with decent lighting. Make sure all items on the plate are visible and not overlapping too much. If your dish has ingredients the AI cannot see (like oil in a stir-fry or cheese melted inside), mention them in the description field. The clearer the photo and the more context you provide, the closer the estimates will be.

Barcode scanning is not currently available. Nourli focuses on AI photo analysis, which works for any food including meals without packaging. For packaged items, you can photograph the nutrition label or use manual entry to log the exact values. Barcode scanning is under consideration for a future update.

Go to Goals in the main navigation. Enter your profile information - age, height, weight, sex, and activity level - and Nourli calculates personalized calorie and macro targets. You can override any calculated value with a custom target. Goals can be updated anytime as your needs change.

Nourli uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, a clinically validated formula that factors in age, height, weight, sex, and activity level to calculate Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is then adjusted based on your goal: maintain, lose, or gain weight. This equation is recommended by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics as the most accurate for healthy adults.

Yes. After the initial calculation, you can manually adjust protein, carbohydrate, and fat targets in grams to match any dietary approach. Whether you follow keto, high-carb, high-protein, or zone-style macros, you have full control. Percentage-based splits are also shown for reference.

Yes. Nourli tracks all macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat) with fully customizable targets, making it suitable for any dietary approach. The AI recognizes plant-based meals, keto-friendly dishes, and specialized diets equally well. You can set your own macro ratios to match your dietary framework exactly.

Yes. Nourli includes a full intermittent fasting timer with six built-in plans: 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD, and a custom option from 1 to 72 hours. The timer tracks your progress through 10 metabolic stages and shows what is happening in your body at each phase. Safety disclaimers appear automatically for longer fasts, and the AI coach adjusts its advice while you are fasting.

Yes. Tap the add button on your Today page and select Water. You can pick from quick presets (glass, bottle, large, liter) or type a custom amount. Nourli supports both milliliters and fluid ounces based on your unit preference. Your water history is available in the History tab with daily totals and individual entries you can edit or delete.

Tap the add button on your Today page and select Weight. Enter your current weight in kilograms or pounds depending on your settings. Each entry is timestamped and saved to your history, where you can review trends grouped by month. Your weight data also feeds into the AI coach so it can give advice based on your actual progress.

The burned calories tracker lets you log your total daily energy expenditure from a fitness tracker or smartwatch. Tap the add button on your Today page and select Burned. Enter your total for the day and it will replace any previous entry for that date. This gives you a more complete picture of your energy balance alongside your food intake.

The AI coach answers nutrition questions, suggests meal ideas based on your remaining macros for the day, explains nutritional concepts, and provides general wellness guidance. It has access to your recent food log and goals, so its responses are personalized. The coach is not a substitute for professional medical or dietary advice.

Yes. Ask the coach what to eat and it will suggest meals based on how many calories and macros you have left for the day. It knows your goals, your recent food log, and your dietary preferences, so the suggestions are specific to you rather than generic. You can ask follow-up questions to refine the options.

The coach has access to your recent conversation history within each session and can reference your nutrition data and goals. For privacy, conversation history is periodically cleared. Each new session starts with your current food log and goal context, so the coach always has relevant information to work with.

Yes, and it is aware that you are fasting. When an active fast is running, the coach adjusts its advice accordingly. It will not suggest meals during your fasting window. You can still ask general nutrition questions or plan what to eat when your eating window opens.
