A little clarity
on the side.

Busog is Filipino for pleasantly full. It starts with ordinary meals and makes room for rice, ulam and merienda.

No. Busog opens with a sample diary you can edit right away, or you can set your own goals first. Everything stays on your device.

No. Busog is free in your browser, with no payments or subscriptions. Install it from the Download page.

Open You, then edit your goals or revisit onboarding. Existing diary entries remain in place.

Choose the dishes you would point to at a carinderia, set half, regular or extra portions, and choose rice cups. The review total is computed from weighed USDA ingredients.

No. Busog supplies one explicit ingredient composition. Recipes, sauces and portions differ between cooks. Open How we counted this to decide whether the composition fits your plate.

Not yet. The photo preview uses sample plates: pick one, review its USDA ingredients, adjust the grams and confirm. Nothing is uploaded.

Tap its diary row, open the serving picker, change grams and save. You can remove the item from the same detail sheet.

The bundled cooked long-grain white rice record lists one cup as 158 grams. That is the serving weight used by the counter; your own cup may differ.

The hand marks Turo-turo, the camera marks Snap, the database marks USDA search, and the barcode marks Open Food Facts. The label stays with the entry.

The snapshot contains 110 everyday foods, each a complete USDA FoodData Central SR Legacy record. Each keeps its FDC ID and its per-100g values.

They refer to different food states and water content. Choose the USDA state that matches what you weighed. A cooked gram weight should not be applied to a raw record.

Bundled matches stay available. Live search falls back to that snapshot when a request fails or reaches its request budget.

Barcode lookup uses Open Food Facts, an open community database under ODbL. Check the product and nutrition against its pack before logging.

It may be absent or lack complete calorie and macro data. Check the digits or search USDA for a suitable ingredient. Busog does not fill missing numbers with guesses.

No. They are Busog’s own ingredient lists with transparent arithmetic, and have not been reviewed by a dietitian.

Your diary, weights, water and profile are saved in your browser. Clearing browser data removes them, so export JSON first if you want a copy.

USDA search sends your search text and API key directly to USDA. A barcode lookup sends its digits directly to Open Food Facts. No diary or weight history is sent.

Yes. If browser storage is blocked, Busog keeps working in memory and tells you changes last for this visit.

Open the Download page for iPhone Safari and Android Chrome instructions. It installs as a web app after being served over HTTPS.

Once the app shell and assets have been cached, the local diary, recipes and bundled search work offline. Barcode lookup and live USDA results require a connection.

The adult calculator uses Mifflin–St Jeor resting energy multiplied by your selected activity factor. A small chosen deficit or surplus changes the result by 250 kcal.

No. It is an educational starting point based on a formula and assumptions, not a measurement or prescription. Seek individual guidance for medical or dietary needs.

Not yet. Busog Coach is an early preview that answers on your device from your own diary, such as your protein so far or a recipe for tomorrow. It calls no AI service.
