Find the foods that agree with you
Balnc’s food journal asks how you feel about 30 minutes after each meal you log. Once a food has three or more check-ins, it is sorted into feel good, watch list or neutral, and every food also gets an inflammation score from -5 to +5, so patterns show up without a spreadsheet.
How do meal check-ins work?
About 30 minutes after you log a meal, the Balnc mobile app sends a notification that opens a short chat. You record how you feel, pick any symptom categories and add a note if you want. You can turn check-ins off at any time. The mobile app is currently in testing; on the web you can see the food profile your check-ins build.
How does Balnc classify foods?
A food needs at least three check-ins before it is classified. You can always override the result by marking a food as known safe or a known trigger.
| Classification | When it applies |
|---|---|
| Feel good | 70% or more of check-ins after this food were positive |
| Neutral | Between 40% and 70% positive |
| Watch list | Fewer than 40% positive |
What is the inflammation score?
Claude rates each food you log from -5 to +5 for its likely inflammatory effect, with anything between -0.5 and +0.5 treated as neutral. Your daily total appears on the Today page and counts as neutral between -1 and +1. It is an AI estimate based on the food, not a blood test.
Foods that land on your watch list are also saved as memories for the AI coach, so it can take them into account.
