Merienda belongs in the diary

Name the moment naturally

Merienda is already a useful name for an afternoon eating occasion. Busog uses it beside breakfast, lunch and dinner rather than hiding it in an awkward extra category. The diary should feel like a place for your day, not someone else’s schedule.

A small plate still has components

A banana, boiled egg and sweet potato can be separate entries or an explicit recipe composition. Either way, their nutrition comes from the same USDA ingredient records and measured edible weights. A familiar name does not replace the source information.

Change the portion, keep the context

The serving picker lets you choose a listed USDA serving or enter grams. A photo sample is another possible starting point, but its staged recognition still needs your review. Every route reaches the same diary and carries its source label.

Make room for ordinary days

You can add water, edit a food and return later without creating an account. Busog is built to fit around everyday eating. It does not promise a particular outcome or prescribe what your merienda should be.
