How does search work?

Food search

Search in the balantia app lets you quickly find foods, products, and entries, so you can easily log your nutrition.

🔍 How do I use search?

  1. Find the meal you want to add food to.

  2. Tap the + icon to add food.

  3. In the search bar at the top of the screen, type:

  • the name of the food (e.g. “chicken”, “rice”) or

  • the product/brand name.

As soon as you start typing, relevant results show up instantly.


🧭 Search filters

To find what you're looking for faster, you can use filters like:

  • Favorites

  • Recent

  • My foods

Plus, while you're typing, smart filters also show up, like:

  • High protein

  • Low fat

  • Low saturated

  • Favorites

  • My own

These filters help you find foods that fit better with your nutrition goals.


🤖 Alternatively: Use AI Assistant

You can also use the AI Assistant for even faster entry:

  • Take a photo of your meal or the label of a product. The assistant automatically recognizes the foods and guides you in entering them.

  • If you already have a photo, you can upload it from your device's gallery.


With these tools, you can track your foods easily, quickly, and accurately, always having a full picture of your nutrition right from the balantia app.
