The Food Diary in the client app has been rebuilt around one idea: clients don't stop tracking because they're lazy, they stop when logging real life gets hard. The food that isn't in the database, the recipe they didn't follow exactly, the buffet lunch with no clean answer. The new diary gives every one of those moments a fast way in, so the diary you coach from stays honest and complete.

Nothing changes on your side: your meal plans, recipes and client data are untouched, and there's nothing to set up.

One logging screen with tabs for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snack. Clients stage food for every meal. From recents, their meal plan, favorites, recipes or search, with combinable filters (food type, source, and for recipes cooking time and meal) gathered in one sheet, and herbs and spices now searchable too, and commit the whole day with a single slide. Repeat days take one tap via a Same meal as yesterday? card, available both here and on the diary overview. The details are tighter too: portions accept exact and fractional amounts (tap the number), and a press-and-hold moves an item to another meal.

When food isn't in the plan or the database, clients can photograph the plate or describe the meal in a few words, and the app estimates calories and macros. They can add photos and comments in follow-ups, edit any value, and lock values they know before saving. Label and barcode scanning cover packaged food.

Scanning a packaged product now opens a full product screen: label-style nutrition facts with micronutrients, the product's Nutri-Score (A–E), whether fat, saturated fat, sugars and salt run low, moderate or high, and its food processing level: up to ultra-processed, with additives listed by name.

When a barcode draws a blank, the Nutrition label scan reads the values straight off the package instead. The product data comes from Open Food Facts, so it's independent of Lenus and coverage varies by product. For you it's a shared vocabulary: "check the score and the processing level" is guidance a client can act on in the supermarket aisle, not just in a check-in.

Recipes now read per serving, and clients can swap or remove ingredients before logging, a swapped ingredient's amount adjusts to match the original's calories, so the meal stays in line with the plan. They can scale any recipe to a calorie target, change the logged meal and portion via Edit in the log sheet, and adjust a meal purely for logging without saving a copy into their recipe list.

Your recipes are safe. Clients edit only recipes they own; adjusting one of yours for a log stores a private, diary-only copy, and Create copy gives them their own editable version of a meal-plan or coach recipe. Your originals are never changed.

The overview shows the week as one budget: day bars against the goal line, a weekly verdict against the calorie target, and catch-up guidance. That matches how many of you already teach it, the deficit is weekly, not daily, and lets clients plan lighter days around a big weekend instead of giving up on the week. Below it, each meal tab carries its own macro breakdown, and micronutrients get a card with a full per-meal detail screen.

The Nutrition page carries a calorie-ring widget: tapping the ring opens the diary overview, and Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner / Snack shortcuts under it start logging that meal directly. For clients who haven't logged anything in 14 days, the large widget hides and a small diary icon takes its place. The diary doesn't nag non-trackers, and the widget returns the moment they log a meal.

Nothing was deleted: plans, recipes and history carried over. The week strip replaces the old calendar; the Add button opens the new logging screen. Share the client article below for the full tour.

It's an editable estimate with a visible confidence level, good enough to keep the diary honest, and always adjustable before saving.

Quick add and AI entries don't carry them. Database ingredients, recipes and barcode scans all do.

Open the entry and choose Adjust or Remove.

After 14 days without logging, the large widget gives way to a small diary icon. It returns as soon as they log a meal, a natural re-engagement opening for you.

Unlogged days count as 0 kcal in the weekly total: the fix is logging, not eating less. Today is never judged mid-day.

Check that Display kcal and macros is turned on in their Client settings. The full checklist is in If a client can't see the Food diary.
