Global Food Database Improvements
planned (soon)

We get our groceries through Crisp ( https://crisp.nl/ ) in the Netherlands, in the app all ingredients for recipes are visible and therefore potentially usable by Bevel! It would super helpful to be able to just drop the recipe link to log it quickly instead of painfully scanning every individual ingredients.

Please include FITT Meals UAE https://fittmeals.ae/ so I can use the scan bar code function.

Hi Steven Lewis I’ll add this as a feedback request. In the meantime, you can take a photo of the nutrition label and upload it through Bevel Intelligence or via My Foods (Nutrition → My Foods → Add → Create Custom Food → tap the scanner in the top right).

Add food database sources (i.e. Norwegian food safety authoroty - matvaretabellen)

Option to add sources to scan food barcodes. Or add official databases in app.
In Norway we have a extensive database of avaliable foods in Norway.
Api documentation here: https://www.matvaretabellen.no/en/api/

Nutrition database very holes

Andre Schulenberg
Many foods do not exist in the database, in particular many health products from the relevant brands... Sometimes suggestions are made or adopted by AI that do not fit at all. Other apps are much further along.

Turkish Foods

There’s a huge audience of Turks trying new calorie counting apps since the only one serving the local cuisine is FATSECRET. A huge market opportunity for you and for us who want to use bevel’s nutrition benefits in full.

Indian Food Tracking
D
Dhruv
The current information on portion sizes and the kind of calories a portion contains is completely out of whack. Can’t rely on that, and detailing exactly everything is too cumbersome.
There’s this app on the AppStore called HealthifyMe, which is really good at calorie tracking for the Indian diet, and it is the best one I’ve ever come across. Could try collaborating, or look at the data sources they’ve been using and try to incorporate that in.
India is a large country and bevel is quite popular in the circles I move in, this feature could push it just past the threshold of niche to popular as for calorie tracking I’ve seen a lot of people use HealthifyMe. You could be consolidating those users into Bevel as well.

It would be nice to already have a database of foods with relative nutritional values.
In this regard, I suggest using the database of the Swiss Confederation, which is completely free also for commercial purposes.

I would love to have food items which are consumed in India. I don't see any options for dry lentils, for example.

The food recognition function overestimates calories & macros way too much — I don't know if it's because it's up to the standards of other countries or overstates the quantity but it's harmful.
For France, OpenFoodFacts is a good open access database
