Scan your food with a photo

Take a photo of your meal and let Moveno fill in the items, portions, calories, and macros for you — usually within seconds.

How it works

1. Open the Scan tab and set the switcher at the bottom to Photo (the three modes are Photo / Barcode / Search).
2. Frame your whole plate and take the photo.
3. Wait while Moveno analyzes the image — your photo freezes with animated corner brackets and a progress ring, and your daily calorie progress is shown.
4. Review the results screen: the photo fills the top, and the recognized items appear in a card below headed Herkende items (Recognized items) with a count.
5. Tap an item to expand it and adjust the portion, view dietary tags or source, or edit the nutrition.
6. Pick the meal type from the pill at the top-right: breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack.
7. Tap the Save button (it shows the total, e.g. Save – 320 kcal) to log the meal.

Good to know

• Scanning requires an active subscription or an in-window 14-day free trial. There is no permanently free version.
• Photo scanning is limited to 5 scans per minute and 30 per hour. At the limit, the app tells you when you can scan again.
• For reliability Moveno uses two AI models with an automatic backup — this is invisible to you.
• Each item shows a confidence indicator: nothing for high confidence, an amber dot with Controleer herkenning (Check recognition) for medium, and a red pulsing dot with Lage zekerheid (Low confidence) for low.
• Multi-item plates are itemized (bread, toppings, and butter separately). Composite dishes like stamppot are reported as a single item.
• Hidden calories such as butter, frying oil, and sauces are counted separately.
• Your photo is also saved to your diary. GPS and location data are stripped from the photo before it is analyzed.
• Portions are scaled to the AI's estimate, not to a fixed serving size.

Common questions

The calorie count looks too high or too low. Tap the item, expand it, and adjust the portion (slider) or count (+/− stepper).

Moveno split my sandwich into multiple items. This is intentional: bread, toppings, and butter are counted separately for accuracy.

It says No food detected. Retake the photo with your whole plate in frame and good lighting, or use Search by name instead.

I see a warning dot on an item. That means lower confidence — check the item and portion before you save.

A recognized item is wrong. Expand the item to edit its nutrition, or delete it and search for the correct food by name.
