How do I log a meal?

Written by Maria
  1. Tap the "+" button in the bottom right corner of your screen

  2. Select "Meal"

  3. Choose one of three options by switching between the tabs at the top of the screen:

    • Scan
      Take a photo of your food and Balloon’s AI will analyse it automatically. It can estimate fiber content, identify potential allergens, assess FODMAP levels, and provide other gut health insights.

    • Describe
      Describe your meal in your own words, including ingredients, cooking methods, and portion sizes. Balloon’s AI will analyse the information and add relevant gut health details for you.

    • Manual
      Enter meal details yourself, including fiber grams and other information you want to track. You can also quickly add a recently logged meal, making it easy to log foods you eat regularly without entering everything again.


​Please note that food tracking in Balloon is part of our Balloon Plus plan and is not included as part of our free plan
​

Tip: If you know the fiber content of something you eat regularly - like a supplement or a homemade recipe - the manual option is perfect. Once you've logged a meal, it appears in your recent meals so you can re-add it with one tap next time.
