Why a photo beats a search bar
Logging food is where most people give up. Searching for "scrambled eggs", picking one of forty entries, guessing the grams and doing it again for every item on the plate takes minutes. With Yumi it takes one photo: a breakfast plate of eggs, feta, bread, tomato and cucumber becomes five items with portions and a total, ready to confirm.
Even the oils, sauces and extras
Hidden calories are where photo logging usually goes wrong, so Yumi asks. On the confirm screen you can add common extras like cooking oil, butter or dressing, or type a note such as "there was ketchup in the meal". Yumi updates the items and the total before you save.
Prefer typing? That works too
You can always search and add foods manually, or log by voice or text through the AI nutrition assistant. Use whichever is quickest for the meal in front of you.
How accurate is it?
Yumi gives estimates. Lighting, hidden ingredients and portion size all affect what any photo can show. That is why every item is editable before you save, and why the extras step exists. For most people the goal is a consistent, honest picture of the day, not a lab measurement, and a quick photo you actually take beats a perfect log you skip.
