Track Your Meals

One timeline, not a scoreboard

Your day in Tuna is a single vertical timeline: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (and snack slots if you want them), connected top to bottom. The current meal is highlighted, so opening the app always lands you at now: what's just been eaten, what's coming next. An empty day reads as a schedule waiting to be filled, not a judgment.

There are no streaks to protect and no rest days to earn. Log when you log. The numbers tell the truth either way.

Planning and logging are the same gesture

Every meal slot has a plus button. Tap it on today and you're logging what you ate. Tap it on Thursday and you're planning ahead. Same form, different date.

Planning dinner Thursday means picking from your own recipes and what your kitchen will have, not searching a recipe database. Plan Your Meals covers planning ahead in full.

You can add three kinds of things:

• Recipes: from your library
• Foods: "2 eggs and toast" is a perfectly valid Tuesday breakfast, no recipe required
• Meals out: describe what you ate in a sentence and Tuna estimates it

Plans become facts when you confirm them

A planned meal is a plan: it sits on the timeline as an unconfirmed entry. When it actually happens, swipe right to confirm. If it was a meal for several people, one swipe confirms everyone's portions.

Confirming is the moment estimates become data. The entry links to the actual pantry items you used, at the prices you actually paid, with the nutrition of the products actually in your kitchen. Estimated cost becomes real cost.

Plans change, and the timeline doesn't mind. Swipe left to discard a plan that didn't happen: no penalty, nothing carries a grudge. If you cooked a dish and part of it went uneaten, a confirmed meal can also record waste, so even the food that didn't get eaten is part of the true picture.

The week strip

Above the timeline sits a strip of five weeks: two back, this one, two ahead. Days with meals awaiting review carry a small amber dot; one tap on the review card opens a sheet that settles them in a batch, confirm or skip, a few seconds per day.

That review sheet is what keeps the system honest without daily discipline. Miss three days? The amber dots wait patiently, and catching up is a minute, not an archaeology project.

Households: your view, your data

In a household, the timeline shows your own entries by default. A toggle switches to everyone's view when you're the one running the kitchen. Either way, each person's portions land on their own day and count toward their own targets: shared logistics, personal numbers.

When someone cooks for the table, the cook records the dish once and assigns portions to whoever ate. Kids with profiles get their meals counted without needing accounts or devices.

Flexible by design

Not everyone plans the same way, and Tuna doesn't force a method:

• Plan the full week if structure is your thing
• Plan just dinners and let breakfast be breakfast
• Plan nothing and decide each night
• Log after the fact when the week ran you instead

The timeline absorbs all of it. A footer keeps a running total of the day's cost, your daily nutrition tracks against your targets, and the dashboard builds its picture from whatever rhythm you actually keep.
