Adjusting portions and counts

Last updated

Amount not quite right? For countable foods, change the number of pieces with the +/− stepper; for everything else, adjust the grams. Nutrition recalculates instantly.

How it works

  1. On the results screen, find the item you want to adjust.
  2. For countable foods, use the stepper (e.g. − | 4 stuks | +) to change the number of pieces — calories and macros update live.
  3. For other foods, tap the gram pill or expand the item and use the portion slider to change the amount in grams.
  4. Check that the rest of the meal is correct, then tap Save.

Good to know

  • Countable foods use count × typical unit weight from Moveno's database instead of a guess from the photo. This fixes a common over-estimate of about 20% (e.g. 4 fried eggs read as 440 kcal, not 528).
  • The stepper only appears for foods the database knows are countable: eggs, bread slices, cheese slices, apples, banana, orange, potato, tomato, kroket, frikandel, bitterbal, and similar staples in the NL/DE/US sources.
  • Continuous foods (rice, pasta, sauce, yogurt, oil) always use the gram pill or slider, never a stepper.
  • When you change a count or gram amount, the item is marked as edited by you.
  • Cooking method (e.g. a dry-fried vs butter-fried egg) is not auto-detected — database values assume standard preparation, so adjust manually for extra butter or oil.
  • Some countable items (such as apples, which vary 120–220 g) use a median weight and may be off by about 15% per piece. Fine-tune with the gram pill if needed.
  • Products scanned by barcode generally do not use count reconciliation; adjust the number of servings instead.

Common questions

The egg or slice count is wrong. Use the +/− stepper to set the right number; nutrition updates immediately.

I added butter to my bread but it isn't counted. Cooking-method extras aren't auto-detected — adjust the portion or add the item manually.

There's no +/− stepper on my item. That food is treated by weight (continuous); use the gram pill or slider.

My change didn't stick. Make sure you tapped Save after adjusting.
