FAQ
Diary
Everything about food logging in ZoneIt — how to add meals, how blocks work, and how to keep track of your day without the hassle.
What is the Diary in ZoneIt?
The Diary is where you log everything you eat throughout the day, split into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack. You can see at a glance how many blocks you've eaten against your target.
What are the ways I can add food to my diary?
You can search for a product in the database, add a ready-made recipe from the library, or scan a barcode. If you have your own recipes in Zonator, you add them the same way you add any other recipe.
What units do I use to enter food quantity?
For products and scanned items, quantity is entered in blocks, in steps of 0.5 up to 20. For recipes, you enter the number of servings you ate.
Can I edit or delete an entry I already added?
Yes. Swipe an entry left to view its details, or right to delete it, and tap it to edit the amount or which meal it belongs to. Scanned items don't have a details page since they're not linked to a specific product.
If I log food under the wrong meal, do I have to delete and re-add it?
No, just open the entry for editing and change the meal — the quantity stays the same.
If I edit a product or recipe later, will it change past diary entries?
No. The Diary saves the block breakdown exactly as it was at the moment you logged it, so your past days stay accurate even if you edit the recipe afterward.
Can I view and edit my diary for past days?
Yes, through the calendar you can go back to your account creation date and log or edit any past day. Logging for future dates isn't possible.
How do I know how many blocks I have left for the day?
Each meal shows a progress bar against your target, and the calendar has its own progress ring for every day, so you can see your balance at a glance.
Where does my personal block target come from?
The first time you use the app, you go through a short questionnaire about your gender, age, height, weight, activity level, and goal, and ZoneIt calculates your personalized block plan from that.
Do I need a subscription to use the diary?
You can browse the diary for free, but adding food and logging your days requires ZoneIt Pro.
