Tracking Portion Sizes

How to Enter Food Portions

Whenever you log a food in the GetFIT App nutrition tracker, you can specify how much you ate. For most foods, you simply enter the amount in grams or milliliters, and the app calculates the calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat based on that serving size.

The more accurate your portion size, the more accurate your daily calorie and macro totals will be.

Using Portion Sizes with the AI Food Logger

If you use the AI-powered food logger in GetFIT App, it's best to include the quantity of each ingredient instead of describing the meal in general terms.

For example, instead of writing "toast with ham," write something like: 100 g of white toast, 30 g of turkey ham, and one tomato (120 g).

Providing ingredient weights helps the AI better understand your meal and generate a more accurate estimate of its calories and macronutrients.

Why Accurate Portion Tracking Matters

Many people struggle to reach their fitness goals because they unintentionally underestimate how much they eat. Even small inaccuracies can add up to hundreds of calories over the course of a day. Consistently measuring or estimating your portions gives you a much clearer picture of your actual energy intake, making it easier to lose fat, build muscle, or maintain your weight over time.
