Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate calories in a homemade recipe?

Just describe your recipe to ScanFood.AI -- list the ingredients and amounts, or simply describe the dish. The AI will break down every component and give you total and per-serving nutrition facts.

How accurate is recipe calorie calculation?

It uses comprehensive food databases with thousands of ingredients. For standard recipes, accuracy is within 5-10%. For best results, include specific quantities (e.g., "200g chicken breast").

Does it work for baked goods?

Yes. It handles baked goods -- cookies, cakes, bread, muffins. It accounts for the ingredients as listed, so you get accurate per-piece or per-slice nutrition data.

Can I just describe my recipe in text?

Yes! You don't need exact measurements. Type something like "pasta with chicken, cream sauce, and parmesan — serves 4" and the AI will estimate the calories. You can refine amounts for more accuracy.

Can I calculate per-serving nutrition?

Absolutely. Tell the AI how many servings your recipe makes, and it will divide the total calories, protein, carbs, and fat equally per portion.

Can I save my recipes?

When you log a recipe through ScanFood.AI, it's saved in your food diary. You can reference it again for future meals without re-entering all the ingredients.
