How to track food offline with Fitlyra
A weak signal does not have to end your logging session. Fitlyra saves tracking logs on your phone first. If you take a meal photo while offline, its AI analysis waits in a queue until your internet connection returns.
What offline logging means
Fitlyra is designed to save meals, workouts, weight, water, fasting and other tracking logs on your device first. That lets you keep a record when you are commuting, traveling or somewhere with an unreliable connection.
Photo recognition is a separate step. The photo you choose for a food estimate needs a connection to be analyzed, so Fitlyra queues a photo captured offline and sends it for analysis after you reconnect. The estimate may arrive later than the rest of the entry.
Use the offline food diary
- Record the meal in Fitlyra. Add the food to your diary using the entry option available in the app. You can keep saving other tracking logs while offline as well.
- If you use a meal photo, expect a delay. The photo can wait in the analysis queue while there is no internet. Offline mode does not produce an instant AI estimate.
- Reconnect when you can. Once internet access is back, the queued photo can be analyzed. Allow time for that result to appear.
- Review the result before relying on it. Check the foods and serving size, then adjust the estimated calories and macros to match what you ate.
Why review a photo estimate?
A photo can make logging faster, but it cannot always show ingredients, cooking methods or portion size. The resulting nutrition values are estimates. If you know the serving or have a package label, use that information to correct the entry before saving it as your record.

Common questions
Does Fitlyra estimate calories from a photo with no internet?
No. A photo taken while offline stays queued for analysis until you reconnect. Review the estimate and serving size once it is available.
Can I keep logging workouts or water offline?
Fitlyra is designed to save workouts, water, weight, fasting and other tracking logs on your device first, so you can continue recording them offline.
Are Fitlyra's nutrition estimates exact?
No. Photo-based and food-entry nutrition values are estimates. Check the foods and portion sizes and correct them when you have better information. Fitlyra is a tracking tool, not medical advice.
