How to use the Nutrition Tab in Gurucose?

Understanding how food affects your sugar levels can feel confusing. That’s why we built the Nutrition tab to make it easier for you to see what you’re eating, how it’s impacting your glucose, and what you can do about it.

Here’s how to make the most of it:

Add food items individually

You can enter each item on your plate one at a time - like dal khichdi and press Search. This will open up a list of food items related to Dal Khichdi. This gives you more accurate nutritional details for every component of your meal. It’s perfect for when you want full control and precision.

Add full meals together using AI

If you’re in a rush, just type your whole meal - like “1 plate dal khichdi with raita” - and we’ll use AI to estimate the nutrition for you. We use OpenAI to estimate the Nutritional Value of the food. This way, you get speed without losing the benefits of tracking. You can enter any food and click “Analyse Food” to see its nutrients.

See your daily nutrition trends

We calculate your average daily carbs, protein, and calories over the last 3, 7, and 30 days. This helps you understand if your diet is balanced over time and not just meal by meal.

Track before and after sugar for every meal

After you log a meal, we show how your sugar levels changed before and after breakfast, lunch and dinner. This helps you spot which food times are causing most spikes.

Discover your best and worst managed foods

For CGM users, we highlight the foods you’ve managed the best, where sugar stayed steady, and the ones that led to big spikes. This gives you a personal list of what works and what doesn’t.

See how high your sugar went, and how fast

For each food in your best and worst list, you can also see the peak sugar value after the meal and how much your sugar rose in the next 2 hours of your meal. These small details make a big difference in understanding how your body reacts.

View your full food history

You can scroll through every meal you’ve logged in one place. It’s like having a complete food diary that connects directly to your sugar data.

Search any food and see your sugar response

Want to know how you reacted to mango or paratha last time? Just search for it, and we’ll show your peak sugar level from your past entries. This helps you make better choices next time.

The Nutrition tab is here to help you connect the dots between food and sugar—not just for one meal, but for the bigger picture. The more you use it, the more you learn about what works best for you.

It’s not about tracking for the sake of it. It’s about making food decisions that feel right for your sugar, for your body, and for your life.

Give it a try and see the difference for yourself!
