Food search is how you find what you ate fast. mobieusHealth searches a large food database as you type and fills in the calories, serving size, and macros for you, so logging is a couple of taps. When nothing matches, mobieusAI can estimate it instead.

''General wellness tracking, not medical advice.''
== How to search ==
On the [[Logging food|Food and macros]] page, start typing in the '''Search a food''' box.
+
# Enter two or more letters, for example "chicken breast".
+
# A dropdown lists matches, each with its calories and serving size.
+
# Use the arrow keys or your finger to move through the list, then press Enter or tap to pick one.
+
# The food's name, serving, and macros fill in automatically, and the name is confirmed as a chip so you never retype it.

From there, set your servings and meal and log it. See [[Logging food]] for the full flow.
== What is in the database ==
The database is built on the U.S. Department of Agriculture food data, so it covers whole foods, common brands, and restaurant staples with their calories and macros.{{cite web|title=FoodData Central|url=https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/|website=U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service|access-date=2026-06-30}} Each result carries a standard serving so your first log is close, and you can adjust the amount to match your plate.
== When nothing matches ==
Not everything is in any database. If your search returns no match, you have two paths:
+
* '''Estimate it with mobieusAI''': describe the food and mobieusAI provides the calories and macros. You can save that estimate to your own foods so it is one tap next time. Requires mobieusAI to be on for your community.
−
* '''Estimate it with mobieusAI''': describe the food and mobieusAI provides the calories and macros. You can save that estimate to your own foods so it is one tap next time.
* '''Enter it manually''': type the calories and macros yourself.
== Search from anywhere ==

mobieusHealth also has a quick finder you can open with the search button in the menu or the Ctrl or Command plus K shortcut. It searches three things at once:

Loopa also has a quick finder you can open with the search button in the menu or the Ctrl or Command plus K shortcut. It searches three things at once:
* '''Sections''': jump to any page, like Water or Trends.
* '''Foods''': the same food database, so you can start a log from anywhere.
* '''Recent entries''': things you logged lately.
== Other ways to add food ==
Search is not the only option. For packaged items, [[Barcode scanning]] reads the label. For a full plate, [[Meal photo AI]] estimates it from a photo. For meals you eat often, save them under [[Meal planner|My meals]] and log with one tap.
