Barcode scanning is the fastest way to log packaged food. Point your phone's camera at the barcode on a package, and mobieusHealth looks up the product and logs it as a meal or snack. It works whether or not mobieusAI is turned on.
''General wellness tracking, not medical advice.''
== Where to find it ==
Open '''Meal photo''' from the Nutrition menu. The '''Scan a food barcode''' card sits at the top of the page, above the photo estimator.
== Three ways to scan ==
=== Live camera ===
Tap '''Scan a barcode''' and point your phone's rear camera at the package barcode. mobieusHealth reads it automatically and looks up the product. A guide box and scan line help you line it up. If your browser cannot auto-scan, it asks you to snap a clear, close photo of just the barcode instead.
=== Enter it manually ===
Tap '''Enter it manually''' and type the number printed under the barcode. Useful when a code is scuffed or your camera cannot get a clean read.
=== Use your phone ===
On a desktop, tap '''Use your phone''' to get a one-time QR code. Scan the code with your phone camera, point the phone at the barcode, and the product appears on your desktop to log. The code expires shortly and works once.
== Logging the result ==
When a product is found, you see its name, serving size, calories, and protein, carbs, and fat. Then:
Choose '''Servings''' (from a half up to three).
Choose the '''Meal''' (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, and more). mobieusHealth pre-picks one for the time of day.
Tap '''Log it.'''
Tap '''Scan another''' to keep going. Product data comes from Open Food Facts, a community food database.{{cite web|title=Open Food Facts|url=https://world.openfoodfacts.org/|website=Open Food Facts|access-date=2026-06-30}}
== If a product is not found ==
Not every package is in the database. When there is no match you can enter a different code or switch to [[Food search]] to find the food by name. You can always fall back to typing the macros in by hand. See [[Logging food]].
