How to Report an Incorrect Nutrition Estimate

This article explains how to report an incorrect nutrition estimate in Nutrify so the AI can improve over time.

Why Reporting Matters

Nutrify's AI is constantly learning and improving. When you report an incorrect estimate, you are directly contributing to better accuracy for yourself and every other Nutrify user. Our team reviews reports and uses them to fine-tune the AI's food recognition and nutrition calculations.

How to Report an Incorrect Estimate

Open Nutrify
Find the food entry with the incorrect estimate on your dashboard
Tap the food entry to open its details
Tap the Report button (flag icon)
Select what is wrong:
Optionally add a note explaining what the food actually is or what the correct values should be
Tap Submit

Tip: The more detail you provide in your report, the more useful it is for improving the AI. Mentioning the actual food name, brand, or correct calorie count is extremely helpful.

What Happens After You Report

Here is what happens behind the scenes:

Your report is added to our review queue
Our team analyzes the photo, description, and your feedback
If the AI made an error, we add it to our training data
Future AI updates incorporate these corrections

You will not receive an individual response to each report, but every submission contributes to making the AI more accurate in future updates.

Common Issues Worth Reporting

Misidentified Foods

When the AI thinks your food is something completely different:

Called your burrito a wrap
Identified rice pudding as oatmeal
Confused a smoothie bowl with ice cream

Wrong Portion Estimates

When the food is identified correctly but the amount is way off:

Estimated 2 cups of rice when it was clearly 1 cup
Said "large" when it was a small portion
Counted 3 pieces when you had 5

Incorrect Calorie Values

When the food and portion seem right but the calorie or macro numbers are clearly wrong:

Listed a grilled chicken breast at 500 calories (likely too high for a standard portion)
Showed 0g protein for a high-protein food
Gave diet soda a calorie count above zero

Before Reporting: Quick Fixes to Try First

Sometimes you can fix the issue yourself without submitting a report:

Add or Update Context

The AI might have lacked enough information. Try editing the entry and adding a text description:

Add the brand name ("Chobani Greek yogurt" vs. just "yogurt")
Specify the size ("small apple" vs. just "apple")
Mention cooking method ("grilled" vs. "fried")

Adjust the Portion

If the food is correct but the amount is wrong, editing the serving size is faster than reporting:

Tap the food entry
Adjust the serving quantity
Tap Save

Re-analyze With Better Input

Delete the entry and log it again with:

A clearer photo (better lighting, bird's eye angle)
A more detailed text description
Both a photo and text description together

Reporting via Help and Feedback

For issues that do not fit the in-app report button (like a feature request or a broader accuracy concern), you can reach us through the general feedback channel:

Open Nutrify
Go to Settings
Tap Help & Feedback
Tap Report a Bug
Describe the issue with as much detail as possible

Include the food name, what the AI estimated, and what you believe the correct values should be.

Will my report fix the entry in my log?

No. Reporting sends feedback to our team but does not change your existing log entry. To fix your current entry, edit it manually.

How many reports do you need to fix an issue?

Even a single report helps. If multiple users report the same issue, it gets prioritized in our review queue.

Can I report entries from previous days?

Yes. You can navigate to any previous day and report a food entry from there.
