GlucholGluchol features and food analysis tools
Explore meal photo scanning, barcodes, restaurant menus, food comparisons and dietary trends, with clear explanations of their practical limits.
Choose an input that fits your meal
Use a meal photograph for visible foods, a barcode for a packaged item, a restaurant menu scan for described dishes, or food search to select an entry. These inputs help describe food; they do not chemically analyse it. Correcting the input is an important part of obtaining a useful estimate.
Feature availability and scan limits depend on the current plan. Consult the pricing page and in-app details rather than assuming all tools are unlimited.
Build, compare and revisit foods
Meal building and food comparison help put ingredients and portions in context. Healthier alternatives should be understood as potential dietary swaps, not universal recommendations. A swap that suits one nutritional goal might be less suitable for another.
Saved foods, favourites and scan history reduce repeated entry and support revisiting previous choices. Check saved portions and labels when a recipe or product changes.
Trends, health summaries and sensitivity
Trends and health summaries organise the foods entered in the app. They reflect recorded entries, not a complete clinical record or everything a person eats. Missing meals and incorrect entries affect the picture.
Sensitivity profiles and predictive meal estimates are described in the deep-dive page. These are informational modelling features, not proof of an individual's physiological response. Clinical validation must not be inferred from the presence of personalisation.
