Select Region/Language for Food Database

Live in Germany and the food database / brands are vastly different than UK / US. It would be beneficial if I could select the fooddatabase to be able to search better when not scanning barcode.

Add Custom Synonym Support for Food Tracker
Michael Skelton
Problem:
Most food trackers rely on U.S.-centric databases, which creates friction for international users. For example, I need to remember to enter
“KFC Fries”
instead of “KFC Chips”
every time. This mismatch between regional terms and database entries leads to repetitive corrections and a frustrating user experience.Solution:
Allow users to create and store custom synonyms that automatically substitute into the food tracker. For instance, typing
“Chips”
could be mapped to “Fries”
once, and the app would handle the substitution going forward.Benefit:
This removes a common source of frustration for international users, reduces repetitive manual edits, and makes the food tracker feel more intuitive and user-friendly—without requiring Bevel to solve global data fidelity issues directly.

European Food data on your app is not correct, like lifesum

Hi, I’ve noticed that your AI and calorie information doesn’t really fit European foods very well. For example, the calorie counts I get are way higher than they should be for the foods I’m eating here. One app shows 1400 calories, while yours shows 2500 for the same amount of food. So it seems like there’s a mismatch. I’d appreciate it if you could look into making it more accurate for European users. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. Adding this to the roadmap.

I feel the same way. Use Yazio again now, as it is incredibly cumbersome or barely possible to track it in Bevel. The German food bank and simple implementation are really missing
