Free calorie counter: where to start in Dayana Daily

What to write down on the first day

You don't have to start with a big diet adjustment. Choose one regular meal and add what you actually eat: a staple, drink, sauce, or other addition. The entry must have a clear title and portion. It is the weight of the portion that most often determines how useful the total in the diary is.

In Dayana Daily, you can search for a product by name, use your library, or start with a photo. The photo is convenient for a mixed dish; search - for a product with a known label. After recognition, check the composition: the AI offers an estimate and does not know the exact weight of the food from one photo.

What's available for free

Daily Basic is a free basic nutrition tracking application. It includes a diary, food search, entry history, recipes, water, weight and progress charts. Photo analysis is available with a basic limit. The current limits are shown in the profile: they are subject to change, so there is no promise of unlimited AI here.

• Add food and adjust portions before saving.
• Repeat familiar dishes instead of re-entering each ingredient.
• Track your water and record weight changes separately from your food diary.
• View entries for different days and export your history.

Why doesn't one number describe the whole day?

Calories are one of the indicators. The diary also shows proteins, fats and carbohydrates. If the product is chosen incorrectly or the weight is indicated “by eye”, a beautiful number does not become an accurate measurement. Check the source data, not just the final counter.

For a homemade recipe, use the mass of the prepared dish, and for a packaged product, use the information from its label. Do not transfer the value of raw cereal to the same mass of ready-made porridge. This case is discussed in detail in instructions for prepared meals.
