Logging your meals is only half the job. A week of meals is a lot of numbers, and a list won't tell you whether you're doing well. Insights turns everything you log into plain answers about your nutrition and what it means for your health.
Just ask
Insights is a conversation with Emealio, Yumbo's nutrition guide. Pick a question and Emealio answers from your own meals, with charts and follow-up questions to dig deeper. Try it on a sample week below.
Good evening.
Here's a sample week at a glance. Ask me about it.

Emealio summarizes what you've logged in yumbo and compares it with general dietary guidelines for your age, sex, and activity. It isn't medical advice and can't see anything you haven't logged. For medical conditions, pregnancy, or medication questions, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian.
How am I doing?
How am I doing?
You've logged meals on 7 of the last 7 days. Your balance score for that stretch is 78. Protein has been a real strength. You're averaging 132 g against a 125 g target. The one area I'd look at is sodium, which has averaged 2,976 mg a day, above your 2,300 mg upper limit.

See the trend, not just today
One salty dinner doesn't matter much. Too much sodium most days does. Insights looks at anything from the last week to a whole year, so the patterns stand out: calories creeping up, a nutrient that keeps running low, weekends that undo your weekdays. Chart any nutrient over time, see the whole picture as a heatmap, or compare this period with the one before.
Am I eating too much sodium?
Understand the health impact
Numbers only matter for what they do to your body. Ask "What could my eating be doing to my body?" and Emealio explains what your highs and lows can lead to, from the short term to years down the line. Insights also checks how heart-healthy your eating is, whether you're going over any upper limits, where a weight goal is heading, and what your waist and hip measurements say about your health.

Know what to do next
An answer is only useful if you can act on it. Ask "What should I focus on next?" for the one change that would help most, get easy swaps, or find recipes that close your gaps. Planned your week? Insights tells you how it will go before you eat a thing. On a diet like keto, vegan or DASH, it checks you against its goals too.
What will my next week look like?
