- - Automatic Scaling: In the 2023 version of the FoodCoach app, the app automatically scaled all the meals you've added to match your energy targets. For example, if you added a banana (120 kcal) and your target was 500 kcal, the app would scale this snack to 5 pieces of banana (500 kcal). After the Food-Logging release, the app will exclusively offer portion-adjusted meals within the 'Tuned Recipes' tab.
