Field notes
The illustrated flow lets a user confirm a dish and change its portion before adding it to a meal log. Other sample screens show daily calorie and macro totals, a weekly meal schedule, weight tracking, and water intake. The page names foods such as gari, amiwo, and wassa-wassa, and says targets can account for a user's country and budget. These are presented as product features on the landing page, rather than verified app behavior.
