How to use Ubod: the complete guide

On the Meal tab, scroll down to the Food card. Each meal has its own green + button. Pick the one for the meal you are eating: the food goes into that meal and nowhere else. Under each meal, Ubod shows the calories already eaten and the share planned for that meal, for example 423 / 442 kcal.

The add screen opens on the Search tab. Type at least two letters in the "Search by name or brand" field. Even before you type, the Recent list suggests the foods you log often.

Results show the calories per 100 g. A green check mark marks a verified food, and the Recent badge a food you have logged before. You don't have to take the first result: tap the + on the one that really matches what you are eating.

The food's page shows the calories, protein, carbs and fat for the chosen portion, then the full nutrition facts. At the bottom, set the quantity and the unit (a pot, grams or a cup, depending on the food), then tap "Add to Meal Snacks". This is the button that actually logs the food.

Back on the Meal screen, the meal shows its new calories (here Snacks goes to 78 / 177 kcal), and the day summary recalculates your calories left and the protein, carbs and fat bars.

Tap Recipes in the bottom bar. Under Discover, recipes are grouped by theme, such as "Top rated" or "Quick tonight" (under 30 minutes). Each card shows the prep time and the calories per serving. The "Search recipes" field finds a dish by name.

Tap a card. The recipe page shows the photo, the time, the difficulty, the number of servings and the rating from users. The heart at the top right adds it to your favorites.

The "Per serving" block gives the calories, protein, carbs and fat of one serving. With the − and + buttons next to Portions, set how many servings you eat: the "Ingredients for" list and the button at the bottom update right away.

At the bottom of the screen, the first menu picks the meal (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or Snacks) and the second one the date. Then tap "Add to journal · 1 serving". The recipe appears in the chosen meal with its calories and macros.

From the Meal screen, tap the + on the right meal, then the AI Scan tab. The first time, Ubod shows three tips: fit the whole meal in the frame, every item should be visible, and check there is enough light. Tap "Take a photo".

Put the dish in the center of the frame and tap the shutter button. The icon at the bottom right opens your gallery if you already took the photo. When no camera is available, the screen shows the Gallery button right away.

When a detail changes the calories, the AI asks you: "Is the rice brown or white?", "Was the salmon cooked with fat?". Tap the right answer, or "Other…" to type it, then Apply changes. Skip keeps the first estimate.

Ubod shows the photo, a name for the meal and each food it recognized with its estimated quantity and calories, for example grilled salmon, about 120 g, 268 kcal. "Verified data" marks a food matched with the Ciqual database. Remove an extra food with the cross. To fix something, type it in "Edit with AI", for example "the bacon is turkey bacon", then Apply changes.

At the bottom, "Estimated Nutrition" adds up the whole meal (here 546 kcal, 39 g of protein, 55 g of carbs, 18 g of fat). Tap the add button, which names your meal (for example "Add to Dinner"), to log it, or "Save as recipe" to keep it and add it again later with one tap.

Tap the + on a meal in the Meal tab. The Search tab is selected by default. Your recent foods show up before you even type.

Type at least two characters, for example "plain yogurt". Verified generic foods have a green check mark and show their calories per 100 g.

Type the brand or the product name, for example "nutella", then tap the Branded filter. Each product shows its photo, its brand and its calories. Generic keeps only basic foods, and All mixes both.

A branded product's page shows its photo, its brand and its Nutri-Score, the calories and macros of the portion, flags such as "High Sugar", and "Better Alternatives". Choose the portion at the bottom and add it to your meal.

On the Meal screen, tap the + on the right meal, then the Barcode Scanner tab, to the right of Search and AI Scan.

Place the barcode in the frame, flat and sharp. It reads automatically, so there is no need to tap. In a dark place, the lightning bolt at the bottom of the screen turns on the flashlight.

The product page opens: brand, Nutri-Score, calories and macros of the portion, nutrition flags. Set the quantity at the bottom, then tap "Add to Meal".

Tap Chat in the bottom bar. A new conversation opens on "Your AI Nutritionist" and four suggestions: log an apple for breakfast, ask what to eat for lunch, plan the week's recipes, or log two glasses of water. The pencil at the top right starts a new conversation, and the icon at the top left brings back your previous ones.

Type in the "Tell me what you ate" field at the bottom, for example "I had an apple for breakfast". Fanak looks up the food and shows a card with the meal, the day, the quantity and the calories (here a 150 g apple, 81 kcal, at breakfast). Nothing is logged until you tap Confirm. Dismiss cancels it.

Ask for a high-protein snack idea, a light dinner or an explanation of your macros. Fanak answers in a few seconds, taking your goal and your day into account. The line that counts the tools he used shows what he checked, for example your diary or your targets.

Tap Profile in the bottom bar. The screen sums up your calories left, your step goal and your roadmap to your goal weight. Tap the gear at the top right to open Settings.

In the Settings list, My Goals is the third row, under Account and Profile.

My Goals brings together everything that sets your targets: your goal, starting weight, goal weight, activity level, weekly goal, step goal, water tracker and nutrient goals. Each row shows its current value.

Tap Goal. Under "What's your goal?", choose Lose Weight, Eat healthier without losing weight, Gain Weight or Build Muscle, then tap Save. Then check your goal weight and your weekly goal: from Slow to Very Fast, Ubod shows the recommended pace.

Nutrient Goals shows the calories calculated for you ("Use Formula") or lets you set your own number with Custom. Below it, the macro split offers Standard (Balanced), Low Carb, High Protein, Low Fat or Custom, with the grams of carbs, protein and fat per day. Protein is set from your body weight (for example 1.6 g per kg), not from a fixed percentage.

Tap Profile in the bottom bar, then the gear at the top right. Each row opens a settings screen. At the bottom, Theme switches the app to Light, Dark or System (the app then follows your phone's setting).

Profile holds your first name, last name, sex, date of birth and height. Tap a row to change it. Sex, age and height are used to calculate your calories: your targets adjust as soon as you change them.

Reminders turns each notification on or off and sets its time: the streak reminder, sent as a notification and by email when your streak is in danger, the meal reminders (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack), the daily weigh-in and three reminders to drink water. Tap the time to change it, and the switch to turn the reminder on or off.

Units shows weight, height, energy and portions. The Metric / Imperial switch changes kilograms and centimeters to pounds and feet. Tap Save to apply the change across the app.

In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors, and tap "Add custom connector". Name it Ubod, paste the address https://api.ubod.app/mcp and tap Add. If Ubod already appears in the connector directory, just search for "Ubod" and tap Connect.

In ChatGPT on the web, open Settings, then Security and login, and turn on Developer mode. Then open the ChatGPT apps page, tap + to create an app, name it Ubod, paste the address https://api.ubod.app/mcp and choose OAuth authentication. Once Ubod is in the ChatGPT directory, you will only need to search for it and tap Connect.

The assistant opens the Ubod sign-in page. Sign in with Google, Apple, a code sent by email or your password, then allow access. You come back to the conversation. If your account has no profile yet, the assistant asks you a few questions (sex, date of birth, height, weight, goal, activity) to calculate your calorie goal.

Write like you would to a friend: "For breakfast I had a 50 g chocolate rice cake, 15 g of Nutella and a hard-boiled egg". The assistant looks up each food in the Ubod database, logs them to the right meal and shows your day: calories left, protein, carbs, fat and the details of each meal.

Ask "How many calories do I have left today?" or "Show my progress for the week". The progress card shows your streak, your days logged, your calories day by day against your goal and your weight curve.

Ask "Find me a pancake recipe": the assistant shows Ubod recipes with their photo and their calories per serving. Open one to see the ingredients and the steps, then say "Add one serving to my breakfast".
