How it worksThe April Food Database
The April Food Database brings together foods from around the world. Its latest checked total is 4,786,257 unique food records.
Different names and spellings help you find the food you mean.
Last counted on 24 August 2026. The total changes as foods are added, corrected or removed.
How food logging works
Choose a food, check the serving and amount, then add it to breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack.
Find your food.
Search by name, scan or type a barcode, or use your voice. You can also choose a recent item, open My Foods or enter calories and macros yourself.
Check the details.
Check the serving, calories and nutrients. Ingredients and label details are shown when available.
Choose the amount.
Set how much you ate and which meal it belongs to. The nutrition totals update to match your serving.
Add it to your day.
Confirm to save the food. Your daily calories and macros update, including what is left against your targets.
Nutrition from the web, ready to review.
Ask April AI to find nutrition online and prepare a food log card. You can request several foods at once, choose a portion in a follow-up, or describe a meal and ask for an estimate.
Search or show the food.
Give a product name, describe a portion or attach a photo. Web search looks for public nutrition sources; a photo or description can support an estimate.
Check the evidence.
Open the source to check the label. If April needs to estimate, it makes that clear and asks before preparing the card.
Confirm the meal.
Check the portion, nutrients and meal, then save. Your diary changes only when you confirm.
See how AI food cards work. Once saved, the food stays in your meal history.

Change the plan as life changes.

Food accuracy and allergens
Food records can be out of date, incomplete or based on a different version of a product. Always check the packaging of the food you have.
Check allergy labels every time.
An April badge, AI answer or barcode match cannot guarantee that a food is safe for an allergy. Check the current label and manufacturer information, including the risk of cross-contamination. Get professional advice for medical nutrition needs.
Questions about Nutrition
Do I check food before it is logged?
Yes. Choose the food, check its serving and nutrition, set the amount and meal, then confirm.
What if I cannot scan the barcode?
Type the barcode or search by name. You can also use your voice, choose a recent item or My Foods, or enter calories and macros yourself.
How should I use my daily targets?
Calorie, macro and body targets are estimates for general fitness and wellbeing. They are not medical prescriptions. A qualified professional should guide nutrition for a medical condition.
Can I correct a meal?
Yes. Open the meal and edit the entry to update your daily total. Review past food entries in your history, not just today’s total.
