What this feature does

Feast lets users correct meal context, and preparation method is often a useful correction because it can change the appropriate reference food and likely added fat.

Why it can be useful

A visible food name is not a recipe. Breading, frying, added oil, drained liquid, and skin can alter nutrient totals without changing the basic label.

A careful workflow

Use the feature as a reviewable part of your record.

  • State a preparation method you actually know.
  • Mention breading, sauce, skin, or added oil when material.
  • Keep the description short enough that the correction is unambiguous.

Limits to keep visible

Convenience and analytical detail do not remove uncertainty.

  • Preparation labels do not reveal exact oil absorption or recipe quantities.
  • The correction improves reference matching but does not directly measure the meal.

Limits and cautions

  • Preparation labels do not reveal exact oil absorption or recipe quantities.
  • The correction improves reference matching but does not directly measure the meal.
  • Features and plan availability can change; confirm the current in-app experience before making a purchase decision.
