Correct a food's data

If a recognized product has the wrong name, calories, macros or portion, fix it — your correction sticks for you.

Sometimes Moveno recognizes a product but the data isn't quite right. You can correct the name, calories and macros. Your fix applies to the current meal right away, comes back the next time you scan the same product, and is submitted for review to improve the database for everyone.

How it works

1. On the results screen (after a photo scan), tap a food item to expand it.
2. Adjust the portion with the slider or tap the gram pill, or tap "Edit nutrition" to open the editor.
3. In the editor, choose the reference unit (per 100 g, per 100 ml or per serving), then correct the name, calories and macros. Tap "More nutrients" to also edit saturated fat, sugars and salt.
4. In "Amount consumed", enter how much you actually ate — Moveno scales the values automatically.
5. Optionally add a photo of the product or label (take a photo or choose from your library).
6. Tap Save. When you save the meal, your correction is recorded.
7. If a product isn't in the database at all, use the manual-entry form in search to add it as a new food.

Good to know

• The correction type is detected automatically: a name change counts as "wrong food", a value change as "wrong nutrition", and a portion-only change as "wrong portion". A manually added food is a "new food".
• Your edit creates a personal override: the same product comes back corrected on your next scan. The change is also queued for review.
• Nutrition values are entered against a reference (per 100 g / 100 ml / per serving) and scaled to the amount you ate.
• A correction photo is optional; photos are compressed before upload (max ~800x800, under 500 KB, JPEG).
• A food you simply tap from search results without changing anything is not counted as a correction.

Common questions

My correction didn't seem to save. Make sure you tapped Save in the editor and then saved the meal.

The calories look doubled or halved. Check the reference unit (per 100 g vs per serving) and the "Amount consumed" value.

Will everyone see my correction immediately? No. Personal overrides apply to you right away, but database-wide changes go through review first.

I scanned a product that wasn't recognized. Use manual entry to add it as a new food; it's submitted for review too.
