You do not need to log your meals as part of the testing process, as your results are mainly based on the sample analysis and the information you provided at the onboarding stage.
However, when you are logging meals, we encourage you to do your best with accuracy, but don't stress too much about perfection! Here's what matters most:
What you eat: Use the barcode scanner or search for items when possible. For homemade meals, try to log each ingredient individually.
How much you eat: Weighing food gives the most accurate results, but we totally get that logging can be time-consuming. Feel free to estimate quantities if you need to.
When you eat: Log meals and snacks at the actual times you had them to help us understand your eating patterns.
Quick tips to make it easier:
It's fine to estimate when you're unsure about exact amounts
For restaurant meals, get as close as you can - don't worry if it's not perfect
Use the barcode scanner for packaged items
The key is consistency rather than perfection. We'd rather you log regularly with reasonable estimates than skip meals because you can't be 100% precise!
