Tap any number for a plain-language note on how it was worked out.
One slice of sourdough, about 50 g, and a thin spread of peanut butter. A thin layer isn't a set amount, so we assumed about 7 g.

Tell Ramen your goal and a little about you. It works out daily calories and macros that fit, and you can change any of it.
Apple Health, both ways. Ramen reads your weight, height and activity, and writes your calories and macros back to Health.
Weight, next to what you ate. Log it in Ramen or let Health fill it in, and see the trend beside your calories.

| What | Snap a photo | Type a line |
|---|---|---|
| Oil in the pan, butter on the toast | Hidden from the camera | Counted when you type it |
| Oat or whole milk in the latte | Looks the same | “flat white, oat milk” |
| A deep bowl or a shallow one | Hard to judge from above | “a big bowl”, “2 slices” |
| A burrito, a wrap, a pie | A closed tube | You know what's inside |
| How sure the number is | Rarely shown | A “~” and a reason |
