What happens if I correct a meal twice?

Each correction amends the same entry. You end up with one meal carrying your latest numbers, not a trail of duplicates.

Can I change the meal type or time after logging?

Yes. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack are switchable on the entry, and so is the time — including logging something you ate yesterday.

Do manual edits get overwritten later?

No. Totals are derived from the estimate with your overrides laid on top, so a manual value survives anything recomputed around it.

Corrections

Change a meal by saying what was wrong

Got it wrong? Say so. “Actually it was a double”, “no rice”, “add guac” — AIM updates the meal you were just talking about instead of making you delete it and start again. Or tap any number and type over it.

Other trackers make you delete the entry and start again.

Snap your meal

Say what changed and it updates that meal

AIM replays the recent turns of your conversation and the meals they refer to. That is what lets “it was a double”, “no rice”, “add guac” attach to the bowl you were just discussing rather than creating a second bowl at 12:04.

It is the difference between a conversation and a form. A form has no memory of the last thing you told it.

Ask about your day without changing it

Ask “how much protein have I got left?” and AIM answers from the day's totals and writes nothing — including no “helpful” corrections to meals you did not ask about.

This is enforced rather than hoped for: a question is classified as a question and answers from the day summary. It matters because the alternative — an assistant that quietly edits your data while answering a question about it — makes the log untrustworthy.

Or type the number yourself

Not everything is worth a sentence. Open any entry and tap a number to type over it. Manual values are laid on top of the estimate rather than replacing the whole meal, so correcting the calories does not discard the ingredient breakdown.

The estimate is a starting point, never a verdict. Your correction is what gets stored.
