Choose the kind of diary you need
A food diary app can be a visual record, a nutrition log or both. Heyberry is for people who want meal photos or descriptions together with estimated calories and macros. You can review individual foods and their amounts before the meal joins your daily log.
If you want a simple food journal without calorie totals, a paper diary may be enough. Our free printable food journal leaves nutrition fields optional. Heyberry meal logging requires Pro; it is not an unlimited free food diary app.
An example of a day's food log
Start with breakfast. Record the food and amount rather than just “breakfast”: for example, the cereal you used, the milk and any fruit. Use a barcode for a packaged ingredient, text for a meal you can describe, or a photo when the plate is visible.
At lunch, check the ingredients identified in the photo. Make a note of dressing or cooking oil that the image may not show. At dinner, use a known recipe when possible and check the serving size. Snacks and drinks belong in the same record if you want the daily total to include them.
These examples describe a workflow, not fixed nutrition values. Different brands, quantities and recipes change the totals.
Make entries easy to correct
Food logging becomes harder when every correction means starting again. In Heyberry, review the returned foods and estimated grams. Change an item's amount or use Fix with a note to explain what is missing or different. Check the updated result before saving.
A photograph can be a useful reminder of a meal, but it does not reveal every ingredient. Keep the food description clear enough that a later entry uses the same assumptions. For repeated homemade meals, our batch portion guide explains how to handle different serving sizes.
Review the record, rather than chase perfect entries
At the end of a day, check for missing meals, duplicated entries and portion mistakes. A complete, understandable record is more useful than an impressive-looking total built from incomplete information. Keep approximate amounts recognizable as estimates.
Heyberry has no published independent accuracy benchmark. If an amount matters and you can measure it, use that information. The AI accuracy guide explains the limits of camera estimates.

A food record has a specific purpose
This page describes food and nutrition logging. Heyberry is not a symptom diary or a food intolerance diagnostic tool. If you only need a written record to bring to an appointment, the printable template may be a better starting point. For calories and editable meal estimates, explore the calorie counter app.
