How meal logging works
Strove lets you log meals by taking a photo, giving you information about what you've eaten along with an overall meal score.
How to log a meal
Open the Strove app and go to your Home screen.
Tap the + button in the bottom-right corner.
Select Log a meal.
Scan your meal using your camera.
Once the scan completes, you'll see information about your meal along with an overall meal score.
Troubleshooting scan issues
If your meal scan isn't working properly, try the following:
Make sure Strove has camera permission enabled in your phone's settings.
Scan in good lighting — natural light or a well-lit room gives the most reliable results.
Keep the camera steady and make sure your meal is clearly in frame before scanning.
Avoid scanning through packaging, plastic wrap, or reflective surfaces, as these can interfere with recognition.
Close and reopen the Strove app, then try scanning again.
Make sure your app is updated to the latest version.
If your meal still won't scan correctly after trying these steps, please contact Strove Support with a description of what you're seeing (including at what point the scan fails or what looks wrong) so we can help resolve it.
