Logging Meals in the Signos App

Meal logging is a powerful tool for tracking food intake and understanding how different foods affect the body. 

When it comes to our meals, our glucose levels respond to more than just one factor—meal composition, portion size, and timing all matter. Logging meals helps connect the dots between what you eat and how your glucose responds, making it easier to spot trends and patterns. The more data you log, the better your feedback will be, but even logging a portion of your meal is a great start!

Consistent meal logging helps Signos predict food impacts on glucose levels, leading to more personalized and accurate recommendations. Pro tip: Log meals in the app before eating to get a personalized glucose prediction. If your predicted glucose impact is above your range, try swapping some of the ingredients to see if you can lower the impact of your meal.
