What It Does

Intakes' Ingredients Edition lets you correct or personalize any detected meal by:

• Editing the overall dish quantity (serving size); and
• Editing the list of ingredients and their individual quantities.

If a weight for a specific ingredient is not provided, the system uses the average serving size for that ingredient. Nutrition is recomputed automatically after confirmation so reports and diaries reflect what was actually eaten.

When to Use It / Outcomes

• You want users to tweak recognized dishes to match their real recipe (add/remove ingredients, adjust amounts).
• You need to correct serving sizes that differ from defaults or automatic estimates.
• You’re building a food diary and want accurate calories & nutrients after user confirmation.
• Output: the intake information is updated including the final dish quantity, per-ingredient list + weights, and updated nutritional facts.

Feature-Specific Details

• Works for single- or multi-dish intakes; confirmations apply per detected dish.
• Ingredient amounts are typically in grams; supported reference ingredients (e.g., salt/sugar/oil) can be swapped per user profile.
• If the serving size of the whole dish is changed, ingredient weights are scaled proportionally.
• If specific ingredient weights are provided, those are used as-is and nutrition is recomputed accordingly.
• Can be combined with Ingredients Information and Nutritional Information features to build end‑to‑end logging.
