In short

First enter your basic data in your profile, then go to Set goal at the top right of the Food section and choose your daily calories. After that, log meals with type, food and amount.

Step by step

  1. Open the Samsung Health app.
  2. Tap your profile at the bottom right, then tap Edit.
  3. Enter your gender, height, weight, date of birth and activity level.
  4. Go back to Home and open the Food section.
  5. Tap Set goal at the top right. The app shows you a recommended daily calorie intake for maintaining your weight.
  6. Set your daily calories as your goal. The goal then appears in the Food section.
  7. To log a meal, choose the meal type, for example breakfast.
  8. Pick the foods from the suggestions and enter the size or the number of grams.
  9. Save each food. The calories are deducted from your daily goal.

Log all foods and drinks, including the milk in your coffee. Recurring meals can be saved, so you don’t have to re-enter every component. If a food is missing from the database, you can create it yourself.
