Photo Logging
Updated February 28, 2026
Photo Logging captures quick evidence and supports pattern checks when text input is slow.
Image standards
| Standard | Rule |
|---|
| Angle | overhead or 45 degree view with full plate in frame |
| Light | even light and sharp focus |
| Portion marker | include one known object or reference item |
| Sequence | include before and after images when possible |
Annotation conventions
| Note field | Use for |
|---|
| Protein tag | source and serving estimate |
| Carb tag | dense carb source and timing |
| Context tag | hunger, stress, travel, or workout linkage |
Poor capture handling
| Capture issue | Recovery action |
|---|
| Low light or blur | add brief text estimate and recapture if possible |
| Hidden ingredients | record recipe name and known ingredients from pack |
| Missing leftovers | note likely eaten proportion with one line |
Privacy and storage expectations
| Point | Standard |
|---|
| Storage | photos used for trend and correction only |
| Sharing | user approval before reuse outside the meal context |
| Retention | remove if preference changes or context is sensitive |
Pair this with food logging, food diary, and macro tracking for stronger trend clarity.
