Meal logging

Log meals in plain language, by barcode, from your plan, or from saved meals and recipes.

Meal logging is the day-to-day operation of nutrition tracking. verxion takes whatever form is most convenient — a sentence, a barcode, a tap on your plan, a saved meal.

Plain language

The most flexible way. Describe what you ate; verxion does the rest.

"Logged a chicken bowl with rice and greens, about 620 kcal"
"Had two eggs and toast for breakfast, ~350 kcal"
"Just snacked on 30g almonds"

verxion parses the meal, looks up foods, fills in macros, and attaches the log to the right meal slot (breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack) based on time of day.

→ Recipe: Log a meal in plain language

Log from your active plan

If you’re on a diet plan, the fastest path is to log the planned meal verbatim:

"Logged today's lunch as planned"
"Done with breakfast"

verxion attaches the planned meal’s items to today’s log, no need to restate quantities.

→ Recipe: Log a meal from plan

Barcode

For packaged foods, scan the barcode (in clients that support it) or paste the code:

"Log barcode 8410297012345, one serving"

verxion pulls the macros from OpenFoodFacts and creates the log.

→ Recipe: Log food by barcode

Saved meals

If you eat the same thing often — your usual breakfast, your post-workout shake — save it once:

"Save my usual breakfast as 'morning oats': 80g oats, scoop whey, banana"

Then log it in one line:

"Logged morning oats"

→ Recipe: Create a saved meal

Recipes

For multi-ingredient dishes, create a recipe — verxion stores the components, computes macros, and lets you log the whole dish as a single item:

"Create a recipe for chicken curry: 500g chicken, 200g rice..."
"Logged one portion of chicken curry"

→ Recipe: Create a recipe

Custom foods

If a food isn’t in OpenFoodFacts, create a custom entry:

"Add a custom food: 'mom's chocolate chip cookie' — 220 kcal, 3g protein, 28g carbs, 11g fat"

→ Recipe: Create a custom food

Correcting a meal log

"That last meal was 800 kcal, not 620 — correct it"
"Remove the second snack I logged today"

→ Recipe: Correct a meal log

Copy a day

If yesterday was a clean execution and today’s the same plan, copy it:

"Copy yesterday's logs to today"
