Tracking Activities with AI Nutrition

Use Theia AI Nutrition to track meals, exercise, and more

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Routinely logging your intake in AI Nutrition will help you achieve your nutritional goals and enable collaboration with your provider. Here's how to do that effectively:

1. Tracking Food and Drinks

The easiest way to log a meal quickly is to use the "Quick Photo" feature to snap a picture of what you're having.

Our AI-powered meal tracking tool will automatically recognize the following components of any logged image:

  • Caloric Information

  • Ingredients (this will populate a title for your entry)

  • Macronutrients

  • Micronutrients

You can also use the "+ Activity" Button in the app or on desktop

This will open a menu with various activities you can track: Food, Beverage, Exercise, Supplements, Stress, Sleep, Fast, Meditation, or Miscellaneous.

Below that, you'll also see various feelings you can log: Hungry, Thirsty, Tired, Dizzy, Foggy

To track food, select the "Food" icon.

There are multiple fields you can fill out to provide greater detail on the activity being tracked.

To keep it simple, "Activity Type", and "Date/Time" are the only required fields.

When logging food, make sure to upload a photo of your meal to enable AI Nutrition to calculate meal ingredients, calories, macronutrients, and micronutrients for you. It will also automatically input a title for you based on what is reflect in the image. Please note that you can only upload one image for a given activity.

AI Nutrition will also create a nutrition analysis if you input a title of your meal contents without a photo.

If you'd like to be able to filter your data by categories, you may want to use the "Tags" field for things like "breakfast", "lunch", "dinner", "snack", etc.

Using the "Notes" field is a great way to provide additional context, where needed.

If you're tracking something you had earlier, be sure to update the "Date/Time".

When you track a meal, you have the option to add it to your "Quick Add" activities. Checking that box means you can easily log the same meal in the future.

2. Tracking Multi-Course Meals

If you log more than one food or drink within an hour window, we’ll group them as a Multi-Course meal. So if you have a salad, then a main, then dessert, you can still log each one separately - but they'll automatically be grouped together for a combined nutritional impact for the meal as a whole.

3. Tracking Exercise

To track exercise, select the Exercise icon from the Activities menu.

Just like food entries, the only required fields are "Activity Type" and "Date/Time".

Exercise also offers fields to select the "Exercise Type" and the "Duration" to add additional context for your workout.

You can also opt to add a Title, Tags, and any Notes that may be helpful to reference later.

When you track a workout, you have the option to add it to your "Quick Add" activities. Checking that box means you can easily log the same workout in the future.

4. Using the "Quick Photo" Feature

To quickly track an activity, select the "Quick Photo" icon in the app. This will open your phone's camera so you can take a photo of what you'd like to document and track it as something you're having now. AI Nutrition will analyze the image and populate a title as well as calories, macronutrients, and micronutrients. You can easily select the entry later to make edits as needed.

5. Using the "Quick Add" Feature

When logging any new activity, you'll have the option to save it to your "Quick Add" menu. When you select the "Quick Add" icon, any activities you've saved previously will be available to log with one click. When you log an activity from this menu, it'll be tracked as happening right now.

6. Where to Find Activities Once You've Logged Them

Once you log an activity, it will be represented in your "Recent Activities" on your dashboard. You can select them in either location to edit your entry or review score details once a score has been provided.
