- Find the text input option (often near the photo log button).
- Type a description of your meal (e.g., "Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts" or "2 slices of whole wheat toast with avocado").
- Our AI will interpret your text and suggest nutritional information.
- Review, edit if necessary, and log.
