Photo food log: what a meal picture can and cannot show

A meal picture may be a useful personal reminder. It does not reliably show every ingredient, portion weight, cooking fat, allergen or nutrient value.

Record the details that matter to you

If you choose to keep a note, write the meal, approximate portions and any substitutions you actually made. Keep it in a place you control. You do not need to upload a meal photo or personal health information to use Smaklig’s UK guides.

Use guide quantities as examples

Our recipes and shopping lists describe assumed quantities for a stated number of portions. Your own plate may differ. Do not infer precise energy or nutrient intake from an image or from a guide’s example alone.

Allergies and health decisions

A photograph cannot establish that a meal is safe for an allergy. Read current packaging and ask the person preparing the food about ingredients and cross-contact. The official allergen-labelling guide explains how information differs by food type. For medical or dietetic advice, speak with a qualified professional.
