Frequently asked questions

Quick answers.

How accurate are the nutrition estimates?

Beforeat provides estimates based on the visible food, serving information, and available nutrition databases. Results can vary with ingredients and preparation, so review and adjust every entry when needed.

Can I edit or delete a saved meal?

Yes. Open a meal from Today or Diary to change its name, serving, macros, meal type, or date. You can also delete an entry from the Diary.

Does Beforeat require an account?

No separate Beforeat account is required. Your diary starts on your iPhone. Optional iCloud synchronization uses your private Apple iCloud account.

Where are my photos and meal records stored?

Meal records and photos are stored on your iPhone. If you enable iCloud sync, supported information is also stored in your private iCloud database so it can be restored and synchronized.

Can Beforeat work without sending photos to a cloud AI provider?

Yes. Choose an available on-device AI engine in Settings. Cloud engines are optional and only receive a selected meal photo after the required permission.

How do I restore or cancel a subscription?

Open Settings → Membership in Beforeat to restore purchases. Subscription changes and cancellations are managed through Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions on your iPhone.

Why is Apple Health not updating?

Confirm Apple Health is connected in Beforeat Settings, then review Beforeat's permissions in the Health app. New, edited, and deleted meals synchronize only when the corresponding Health access is allowed.

How can I improve an incorrect food result?

Choose another suggestion on the Review & save screen, type the meal name manually, then adjust the serving and macros. Clear, well-lit photos taken directly above the plate usually work best.
