A week runs Sunday to Saturday

Records are grouped by the date eaten, with each week running Sunday through Saturday. For an older photo, choose the day you ate the meal rather than the upload date.

One count per kind each week

Carrot on Monday and Thursday still adds one kind to the weekly variety count, while both meals remain in your history. The metric reflects breadth, not frequency.

Examples counted separately

Edamame and mature soybeans, different onions, and shiitake and maitake are separate when listed separately in our vegetable catalog. Beans, tubers, leafy vegetables and mushrooms are included as plant-food variety.

Seasonings, juices and tiny amounts

Plant-derived oils, sugar, isolated starches or extracts are generally not counted when the original food was not eaten as a recognizable ingredient. For juices, powders and garnishes, confirm the contents and what was consumed. When uncertain, leave it uncounted.
