How do I use Smart Log to log a meal?

Use this article to log a meal quickly by describing it, rather than searching for each item one by one.

Smart Log is the quickest way to add a meal with several items in it. Instead of searching for each one, you describe the meal and Hexis identifies what's in it.

Describe the meal the way you'd describe it to a person. You don't have to use voice - type it into the text box, or tap the microphone and say it out loud instead.

Include your quantities. "A hundred and seventy grams of oats and one large egg" will give you a far more accurate result than "oats and egg."

If you'd rather scan or photograph an item instead, tap the camera icon within Smart Log to jump straight to Scan Food. See How do I scan food or barcodes to log a meal?

While recording, you'll see a live waveform and a timer. Tap the check mark to finish, or the X to cancel.

The Results screen shows two things:

Before anything is added, you can tap the green check mark on an item to deselect it, or change the quantity or unit on any item.

If an item is already in the meal, Hexis tells you and matches the serving size so the two entries can be combined. This stops the same food from being counted twice.

Tap Log to add everything you've kept. Tap Try Again to start over.

Tap the pencil next to the transcription on the Results screen and correct the text directly - you don't need to record again.

Check the quantity shown for each item on the Results screen before logging, and adjust it using the stepper or unit dropdown if it doesn't match what you said.

Yes - it works the same way whether you're describing one food or several.
