Smakblick · Food log with your camera

Photograph your food.
See estimated nutrition.

Photograph your meal with Smakblick and get estimated calories, protein, carbs and fat. Check the servings and confirm before you log.

Smakblick suggests what's on the plate and estimates the servings. You review the components and adjust the serving weights in grams before you choose to save.

  • The Swedish Food Agency where a match is approved
  • You check before logging
  • Image history stored locally on the phone

How it works

How do I log a meal with a photo?

Photograph, review and confirm. The camera gives a suggestion. You check the components and serving weights, choose the meal and decide whether the result is saved.

  1. 1

    Take a clear photo

    Let the whole plate show, ideally from above in even light. The image is preprocessed on the phone and sent to Google Gemini for analysis. Active health consent is required.

  2. 2

    Review the food and servings

    The AI suggests a dish or separate components with estimated serving weights and macros. Check what it recognises: hidden oil, sauce and obscured ingredients can be missed.

  3. 3

    Adjust and confirm

    Change the serving weight of the shown components in grams; the nutrition values scale with the amount. Choose the meal and save it on today's date. Saving requires separate food-logging consent.

Behind the estimate

Where do the calories and macros come from?

The AI reads the photo; approved matches are grounded against the Swedish Food Agency. If a component isn't matched or the match is rejected, the AI estimate is kept. Both the food's identity and the amount need checking.

Nutrition with a clear basis

Google Gemini makes the first estimate. Smaklig then tries to match each component against the Swedish Food Agency's food data. An approved match gives database-grounded values, but doesn't make the serving assessment or your meal's total exact.

Food log and planning in the same app

What you confirm is gathered in today's food log. In the same app you can plan the week around store promotions. The store coverage applies to the planning, not to how accurately a meal is recognised.

Possible allergens are shown as a warning

The app can warn through text matching against the component names. The warning never blocks logging and may both miss and overflag. Always check the ingredients yourself; no warning is not a guarantee that a food is allergen-free.

Estimates that you review. Smakblick gives practical support for the food log, not medical advice. Image recognition and serving assessment can be wrong. The numbers are not promises of weight loss or other health outcomes.

How accurate is the AI calorie estimate?

It's an estimate, not a measurement. Both ingredients and serving size can be wrong. Hidden oil, fillings and mixed dishes are especially hard to judge from a photo. Read the component names and check the serving weights before you save.

Even when a match is grounded against the Swedish Food Agency, there is uncertainty about the actual food and amount. The app shows no guaranteed margin of error.

Do I have to weigh the food?

No, a photo can give a serving suggestion. You can change the serving weight in grams for each shown component. If you have a weighed amount you can use it to improve the basis; the values scale when you change the serving.

You can't add or remove components in the review step. If the breakdown is wrong, you can choose not to save.

Does it work on Swedish home cooking?

You can photograph Swedish home cooking too. Smakblick can suggest a whole dish or several visible components, for example meatballs and mashed potato. Smaklig tries to match the components against the Swedish Food Agency's data and keeps the AI estimate where a match isn't approved.

Sauces, stews and hidden ingredients can give an incomplete breakdown. Check the suggestion even when the dish's name looks reasonable.

What happens to my images?

The image is sent to Google Gemini for analysis. Smaklig currently stores no server-based image copy. After logging, the app may keep a local copy for the food log's image history, up to 120 meal photos per account on the phone.

Saving to the phone's gallery is a separate choice. The image is preprocessed on the phone and the app does not request EXIF data; the image content itself is still sent for analysis.

What consents are needed for photo and food log?

Image analysis and saving have separate consents. Active health consent is required to analyse the meal photo. To save the entry, a separate food-logging consent is also required. So the analysis doesn't automatically log the meal for you.

You choose breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. The entry is saved on today's date according to the phone's local time; this flow has no date picker.

Your food log

How does the meal end up in today's overview?

Your confirmed meal is added to the food log. See today's logged meals gathered together and follow your habits over time. An estimated total is information, not a judgement of the food or of you.

You decide what you want to log. Read more about photos, uncertainty and privacy.
