How can you get meal ideas from what is already in your fridge?

By CTrackAI · Updated

Open CTrackAI's fridge scan and take a photo of your open fridge or pantry. The app suggests meal ideas that use what you already have and fit your goals. Pick one, cook it, then log the finished plate with a photo so its calories and macros land in your diary.

How do you use fridge scan, step by step?

  1. Open fridge scan in CTrackAI.
  2. Snap your open fridge or pantry so shelves and labels are visible.
  3. Browse the meal ideas that use what you have.
  4. Cook, then snap the finished plate to log it. Check the numbers, adjust any item, and save.

How do you get better ideas from a fridge photo?

  • Open drawers and move tall items so smaller foods are not hidden behind them.
  • Scan the pantry too if staples such as rice, pasta or tins live there.
  • Use good light so labels are readable.

How do you check the nutrition of a single ingredient?

For packaged ingredients, scan the barcode to get the product's nutrition facts. For fresh foods, the USDA's FoodData Central database lists nutrient values for individual foods [1]. Remember that label values refer to one serving [2].
