Keep protein and meals visible without making food logging the whole day.

What nutrition information can Habits track?

Food entries in Habits can include:

• meal name;
• meal type;
• calories;
• protein;
• carbohydrates;
• fat.

Habits shows running daily totals for calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat.

You can create food entries manually, reuse meals from your personal library, or use supported AI-assisted photo and text logging.

AI-generated food values are estimates.

Choose the logging method that fits the meal.

Manual

Enter the meal and macro values yourself when you want direct control.

Saved meal

Reuse something from your personal meal library when it repeats.

Photo

Take or upload a food photo and review an AI-estimated meal and macro result before saving it.

Text

Describe the meal in ordinary language and let AI estimate the nutrition entry.

Manual and saved-meal logging do not require AI.

See your protein total alongside the rest of the meal record.

Protein is one of the macro values tracked in Habits.

As you add food entries, the food area keeps a running daily protein total alongside calories, carbohydrates and fat.

You can also set your own protein tracking goal in Habits Health Goals.

That goal is a number you configure for tracking. Habits does not determine the medically appropriate protein intake for you.

Enter the numbers yourself when you want direct control.

Manual food logging lets you record:

• the food or meal name;
• calories;
• protein;
• carbohydrates;
• fat;
• whether it was Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or a Snack.

The entry becomes part of your food history and contributes to the daily macro totals.

Do not rebuild the same meal every time.

If you eat something regularly, save it to your personal meal library.

The next time it comes around, you can add the saved meal again instead of entering the whole record from scratch.

Use a food photo as a starting point.

Take or upload a food photo and Habits can use AI to return an estimated:

• food name;
• description;
• meal type;
• calories;
• protein;
• carbohydrates;
• fat.

You can review the result before saving it to your food log.

AI food analysis is an estimate. Portions, ingredients and preparation can change the result, and a photo may not reveal every ingredient. If you have a food allergy, verify ingredients independently rather than relying on AI photo analysis as an allergen check.

Type what you ate instead of building the entry line by line.

Habits also supports AI text food logging.

Describe the meal in natural language and Habits can return estimated nutrition information for the entry.

Review AI-generated values as estimates before relying on them for your own tracking.

Food tracking does not require AI.

You can use manual food logging and saved meals without enabling AI.

If you choose to use AI features, Food is one of the categories you can control separately in the Habits AI Privacy Dashboard.

Habits includes:

• a master AI switch;
• a Food category permission;
• an AI access history.

Habits currently uses OpenAI models for optional AI features. Relevant food information you allow may be processed to provide those features.

Turn food entries into a nutrition summary.

Habits can generate AI-assisted nutrition analysis from:

• the current day; or
• the previous week.

The analysis can include:

• an overview;
• positive observations;
• areas to review;
• automated suggestions;
• macro breakdown;
• meal-pattern observations.

Treat the output as automated tracking support, not a diagnosis or personalised medical nutrition prescription.

Create a seven-day meal plan with Pro.

Habits Pro includes an AI meal-plan generator.

The product is designed to use available preference information and nutrition-gap context when generating the plan.

Some advanced nutrition-preference functionality is rollout-controlled, so the exact personalisation options available may vary by account.

AI-generated meal plans are not medical nutrition therapy.

If you have a food allergy, verify every ingredient independently and do not rely on an AI-generated plan as the sole safeguard against allergens.

If you have a medical condition, a history of disordered eating or specific clinical nutrition needs, use appropriate professional guidance.

Use goals as tracking references—not medical prescriptions.

Habits lets you configure personal nutrition goals, including protein and other macro targets.

These goals help you compare your logged totals with the numbers you chose to track.

Habits does not determine the medically appropriate calorie or protein target for you.

Food does not have to live in a separate calorie app.

Nutrition is one part of a broader record in Habits.

Your food and protein entries can live in the same companion as:

• medication;
• hydration;
• exercise;
• mood;
• sleep;
• weight and measurements;
• progress photos.

That means you do not need one app for food and another just to keep the rest of your Habits record.

You still decide which categories are useful to you.
