- [1,482 fast-food menu items: per portion or per 100 g?](https://mouve.it/blog/baltic-fast-food-menus-per-portion-or-per-100g.md) (9 Nov 2026): Every one of the 1,482 menu items we hold lists nutrition per portion. Only 783 come with a serving weight, so the same table cannot be read the same way for every chain.
- [Is there a free app that tracks both workouts and food?](https://mouve.it/blog/free-app-that-tracks-workouts-and-food.md) (9 Nov 2026): Yes, but few free apps do both well. Mouve logs workouts and food in one free app; here is what stays free, what costs money, and where other apps do it better.
- [How the Mouve food scanner decides what is on your plate](https://mouve.it/blog/how-the-mouve-food-scanner-decides-what-is-on-your-plate.md) (9 Nov 2026): The scanner doesn't ask an AI model for calories. It works out what the food is, finds it in our food database, and takes the numbers from there.
- [How to log a meal from a photo in Mouve](https://mouve.it/blog/log-a-meal-from-a-photo-in-mouve.md) (9 Nov 2026): Tap the camera in Mouve, photograph your plate, check the foods and amounts on the review screen, then add it. Free accounts get 5 photo estimates per 24 hours.
- [Scanning a barcode in Mouve, and what to do when a product is missing](https://mouve.it/blog/scan-a-barcode-in-mouve-and-what-if-the-product-is-missing.md) (9 Nov 2026): Barcode scans in Mouve are free. Point the camera at the code and the product's label data is logged. If the product is not found, search for it or add it by hand.
- [Comparisons that say where the other app is better](https://mouve.it/blog/comparisons-that-say-where-the-other-app-is-better.md) (5 Nov 2026): Mouve now has side-by-side comparisons with other food and training apps. These are the rules we hold them to, and why we made them strict.
- [Testing the food scanner with recorded scans, for free](https://mouve.it/blog/testing-the-food-scanner-with-recorded-scans.md) (5 Nov 2026): Every change to our scanner is checked against a set of recorded scans before it ships. What that catches, and what it can't see.
