Photo-Scan Accuracy Playbook

Getting the most reliable estimates out of the AI photo scanner, meal by meal.

1. 1

   Shoot from above

   An overhead angle gives the model the clearest read on portion size, avoid steep angles that hide most of the plate.

2. 2

   Separate mixed dishes when you can

   A plate with visually distinct components scans more accurately than a casserole or heavily sauced dish, plate accordingly when precision matters.

3. 3

   Adjust for hidden oil and sauce

   If you know a dish was cooked with extra oil or a heavy dressing, treat the estimate as a floor and nudge it up slightly.

4. 4

   Reuse accurate entries

   For a meal you eat often, get the estimate right once and reuse it, accuracy compounds when you’re not re-estimating from scratch every time.
