Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How do I log a meal?

Simply tap the camera button, take a photo of your food, and Calvin's AI will automatically identify the items and estimate calories and macros. You can also add text notes for quick logging.

How accurate is the AI analysis?

Calvin uses advanced vision AI to analyze your food photos. While AI estimates are generally reliable, they may vary based on photo quality and portion visibility. You can always adjust the values manually.

Can I edit an entry after logging?

Yes! Tap on any entry in your daily journal to view details, then you can adjust portion sizes, calories, or macros as needed.

How do I delete an entry?

Swipe left on any entry in your journal to reveal the delete option. You'll have a brief moment to undo if you delete by mistake.

Daily Journal

How do I view past days?

Use the History tab to see a calendar view of your logged days. Tap any day to see the full journal for that date.

Can I copy meals from previous days?

Yes! When viewing a past day in History, you can use the 'Copy to Today' action to quickly log similar meals.

What do the colors on the calendar mean?

Days are color-coded based on how close you were to your calorie goal. Green means you hit your target, yellow means close, and red indicates you were significantly over or under.

Goals & Targets

How is my calorie target calculated?

Calvin uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, which considers your age, height, weight, gender, and activity level to estimate your daily calorie needs. Your goal (lose, maintain, or gain weight) then adjusts this target accordingly.

Can I change my goals?

Yes, go to Profile > Goals to update your weight goal, activity level, or target calories at any time.

How do I track my weight?

You can log weight entries in the Profile section. Calvin will track your progress over time and show trends in the Insights tab.

Insights & Progress

What insights does Calvin provide?

The Insights tab shows your calorie and macro trends over time, weight progress, streak tracking, and personalized recommendations to help you reach your goals.

How is my streak calculated?

Your streak counts consecutive days where you've logged at least one entry. Missing a day will reset your streak.
