# How Accurate is Hoot’s Food Logging?

Hoot aims for high accuracy—without stressing perfection.

Our AI is trained on thousands of real-world meal entries, food databases, and nutrition labels. Whether you log a detailed description, a simple “chicken sandwich,” or snap a photo, Hoot gets you a reliable estimate.

But food logging isn’t a lab experiment—it’s a behavior-building tool. That’s why we believe:

_Close is good enough. Consistency matters more than perfection._

**Accuracy tips:**

* Include key details like quantity and prep method (e.g., grilled vs. fried)
* Review and adjust estimates if needed
* Use Favorites for common meals to keep entries consistent

And if you ever want to weigh your food or enter exact grams, we support that too.

**Bottom line:** Hoot gives you the most accurate estimate possible, with the flexibility to log your way.
