Meal logging guide for Google Health

Turn a restaurant meal into a reviewed Google Health entry

Restaurant meals are hard to reconstruct because you rarely know the exact recipe or weight. MealSync combines what you can see with what the menu and your own context can explain, then gives you an estimate you can correct.

Create a Google Health-ready estimate

Combine clues instead of pretending the photo knows everything

A menu identifies the intended dish, a photo shows what arrived, and a description can explain substitutions or leftovers. Together they provide a better basis than a generic database result or image alone.

  • Name the dish and serving size.
  • Mention sauces, oils, drinks, sides, and substitutions.
  • Say what you left uneaten.

Check the assumptions that move the estimate

Oil, sauce, portion size, and preparation can change the result substantially. MealSync surfaces short assumptions so you can concentrate on the uncertain parts rather than re-entering the entire meal.

Review before Google Health

Correct the title, time, calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Only the structured values you approve are sent to Google Health.

The data boundary

MealSync sends the reviewed nutrition record—not your source photo, receipt, menu, label, or voice content—to Google Health.
