How it works

Choose the path that matches the meal.

ForkYa! is built around entry points, not a rigid sequence: photo, describe, barcode, label, or search. Once the food is captured, users review the estimate against app context and a 4M+ item food database before it becomes part of the log.

Path: photo

Start with the plate.

When the meal is visible, photo capture is the fastest way in. ForkYa! keeps the review surface close so users can adjust what matters before saving.

  • Use the camera when the food is in front of you.
  • Add corrections before saving.
  • Keep the meal connected to the day.

Path: describe

Describe the meal when words are faster.

Use plain language for portions, sauces, substitutions, or a whole meal when talking is faster than tapping through fields.

  • Useful for meals without a clean photo.
  • Good for portion changes and substitutions.
  • Works alongside photo capture when the image needs context.

Path: barcode + label

Use barcode or label data when the package has the facts.

Use barcode lookup when the product is known, or nutrition label scanning when the facts panel is the best source.

  • Fast lookup for packaged foods.
  • Label scan when the panel is more reliable than recognition.
  • Database search across more than 4 million food items.

After logging

Save the meal, then read the day.

Once the meal is saved, the log and dashboard keep the nutrition context visible so the next decision is easier to make.

  • The reviewed meal becomes daily context.
  • Calories and macros update in one place.
  • Coach can answer with better context later.

Optional context

Bring lab markers into the same coaching context.

Uploaded lab reports can become organized marker context, so Coach can consider confirmed bloodwork categories alongside meals, goals, and trends when users ask follow-up questions.

  • Organized bloodwork categories after upload.
  • Marker details remain reviewable.
  • Lab context can sit beside logs, goals, and trends.
