Photo → Macros
Premium
Take a photo of your plate, review the AI breakdown, edit anything that’s off, and log it to the diary.
Photo → Macros is for meals without a barcode: home cooking, leftovers, and restaurant plates. Hammr estimates ingredients and macros from the photo. You confirm before anything hits the diary.
Log a meal from a photo
- Open Nutrition and tap a meal.
- Choose Photo → Macros.
- Take a photo or pick one from your camera roll.
- Wait for the estimate — Hammr lists foods and macros.
- Edit names, quantities, or remove items that don’t belong.
- Confirm to log the meal.
Treat the estimate as a starting point. Lighting, sauces, and mixed dishes can throw off portions. A 10-second edit is normal.
Tips for better estimates
- Shoot from above so the whole plate is visible.
- Include a glass, fork, or known object for scale when you can.
- Avoid heavy filters and extreme shadows.
- Add a short note with Text → Macros if the photo alone is ambiguous (for example, “salmon bowl, brown rice, extra avocado”).
Premium and credits
Photo → Macros is Premium-gated. Some plans use weekly quotas or AI credit packs. If you hit a limit, you can still log with search or free barcode scanning.
