Feature Guide
Nutrition Label Parser
Turn any nutrition label into a logged entry in seconds. Scan it, upload a photo, or paste the text — Macrolog reads off the values for you.
Three ways in.
Whatever you have to hand — a physical label, a photo in your gallery, or copied text — there is a fast path to a logged entry.
- 📷 Scan with camera — point at the label and tap “Scan Label”.
- 🖼️ Upload a photo — tap “Upload Label” and choose an image from your gallery.
- 📋 Paste text — copy the nutrition text, paste it into the text box, and tap Parse.
What gets extracted.
The core macros come through every time. When the label lists more detail, Macrolog captures that too.
- Calories, Protein, Carbs, Fat — always extracted.
- Fibre, Sugar, Saturated Fat, Sodium — captured when available on the label.
- Always review the extracted values before logging — confirm they look right first.
Tips for best results.
Parsing is only as good as what it can see. A few small habits make extraction far more accurate.
- Use good lighting, keep the label flat, and avoid glare.
- Keep the full label in frame — include the “per serving” and “per 100g” columns.
- For text paste, include the full nutrition facts table, not just a few selected values.
