FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
How accurate are the calories and macros?
A single photo cannot show oil, sauces or the exact weight of a portion, so every scan is an estimate. That is why each scan opens a review screen: change the grams, add a food the photo missed, or pick a portion from ¼ to 2×. Check labels when accuracy matters. Dish Detective gives general information, not medical advice.
What happens to my photos?
When you scan a meal, the photo is sent through our server to an AI service that estimates the foods and nutrients. Photos of meals you save are stored in your account so they also appear on your other devices. Delete a meal, or your whole account, and its photos are removed.
Does it work without internet?
Your diary lives on your phone, so you can open it, edit meals and see your totals offline. Scanning and NutrAI need a connection, and your diary backs up the next time you are online.
Can NutrAI replace a dietitian?
No. NutrAI is a friendly assistant that answers with your own diary numbers and the preferences you choose to share. For medical conditions, allergies, pregnancy or eating disorders, talk to a doctor or registered dietitian.
How do I delete my data?
Open Settings → Delete account in the app. If you can no longer open the app, use the account deletion page and we will do it for you.
Which phones does it run on?
