[Explore all FAQs](https://www.moodwell.ai/faq)

**What is a good way to log my first meal?**

Choose the method that fits the food in front of you: search for an item, scan a packaged food barcode, enter it manually, or use an AI photo, voice, or description capture. Review the food and portion before saving. For meals you eat again, recent entries, favorites, and saved recipes can reduce repeat entry.

**What should I check after an AI food capture?**

Check that the food matches what you ate, then review the portion and any ingredients the capture could not see, such as oils, sauces, or fillings. Correct those details before saving. A photo or description provides an estimate, and the calorie and macro totals depend on the food and quantity recorded.

**Which food logging methods use AI credits?**

Photo, voice and description capture use AI credits. You can also log through manual entry and food search without asking AI to interpret a meal.
