# Log your first meal

> Log your first meal in about a minute. Open Logging, describe the meal in plain words, adjust any amount, then confirm to save it to your log.

You do not need to finish your profile to try this. Kallo uses defaults until
you tell it more.

1. **Open Logging**

Pick **Logging** in the sidebar. The input sits at the bottom of the screen,
like a chat box.

2. **Describe the meal**

Write it the way you would tell someone. `2 fried eggs + 150g grilled chicken +
1 bowl of rice` works as well as `chicken caesar salad`. Kallo takes English,
Vietnamese, or a mix.

3. **Watch it break the meal down**

Results arrive progressively: dish names first, then the numbers. If a portion
is ambiguous, Kallo asks you — which bowl you used, for instance — rather than
guessing.

4. **Adjust if needed**

Tap **Edit** to nudge any item's amount up or down. Totals update as you go.

5. **Confirm**

Tap confirm to save. The meal enters today's log and your
[dashboard](https://kallo.fit/en/docs/tracking/dashboard) updates immediately.

> **Writing a good description**
>
> The more specific you are about cooking method, the closer the estimate lands.
> "Braised fish" and "fried fish" are the same fish with meaningfully different
> fat. If you know a weight, just write it — `150g chicken breast` beats any
> guess.

## Nothing is saved yet

An analysis is not in your log until you confirm it. If the result is well off,
you can discard it and rewrite more clearly — nothing gets recorded.
